MSI has rather quietly unveiled its newest Geforce GTX 980 Ti Gaming series graphics card, the Geforce GTX 980 Ti Gaming LE (Light Edition) with 6GB of VRAM.
Although it features a new TwinFrozr V cooler with minor design changes, the custom Geforce MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming works at standard 1026MHz GPU base and 1114MHz GPU Boost clocks while 6GB of GDDR5 memory, paired up with 384-bit memory interface, is clocked at standard 7010MHz.
In case you missed it earlier, the Geforce GTX 980 Ti is based on Nvidia GM200 Maxwell 2 GPU with 2816 CUDA cores, 176 TMUs and 96 ROPs, dwarfed only by NVidia's GTX Titan X with fully enabled GM200 GPU.
As noted, the new MSI Geforce GTX 980 Ti Gaming LE comes with a new TwinFrozr V cooler that has a passive Zero Frozr cooler mode, which turns off fans when the graphics card is under low load. The new graphics card also has a LED logo on the top with five unique lighting modes and comes with a backplate.
In addition to the GTX 980 Ti Gaming LE, MSI also offers the Geforce GTX 980 Gaming LE 4GB graphics card which is quite similar.
While MSI did not unveil any prices or availability details,
we easily spotted it available at Newegg.com with a price set at US $659.99, which is about US $20 cheaper than the original GTX 980 Ti Gaming.
