MSI has announced its newest Geforce GTX 980 Ti Sea Hawk graphics card at TGS 2015 show. The new MSI GTX 980 Ti Sea Hawk comes as a result of unique partnership between MSI and Corsair and will use a hybrid cooling system.

As teased last week by MSI, the MSI Geforce GTX 980 Ti Sea Hawk is based on a Geforce GTX 980 Ti graphics card paired up with Corsair's H55 AiO liquid cooling system. According to MSI, offer significantly lower temperatures, be much less noisy and have a decent factory-overclock.

As expected, the new GTX 980 Ti Sea Hawk is based on Nvidia's Maxwell GM204 GPU and packs 2816 CUDA cores, 176 TMUs and 96 ROPs. The Geforce GTX 980 Ti comes with 6GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 384-bit memory interface and is usually clocked at around 1000+MHz for the GPU and 1750MHz (7.0GHz effective) for the memory.

The Corsair H55 AiO liquid cooling solution uses a micro-fin copper base that translates the heat to a 120mm radiator with a 120mm fan. According to MSI, the GTX 980 Ti Sea Hawk is 30 percent cooler, 30 percent quieter and 20 percent faster than your average reference GTX 980 Ti graphics card. While the Corsair H55 AiO cooler deals with the GPU, the memory and the VRM are cooled by a radial fan with custom shroud, which makes the GTX 980 Ti Sea Hawk a hybrid-cooled graphics card.




As noted, the MSI GTX 980 Ti Sea Hawk features a decent factory-overclock pushing the GPU to 1190MHz for the GPU base clock and 1291MHz for the GPU Boost clock, while the memory ended up at 7096MHz. MSI also noted that there is plenty of overclocking headroom with MSI Afterburner overclocking utility.

According to MSI, the GTX 980 Ti Sea Hawk should be available now with an MSRP of US $739.99.
