La carte
Comme noté plus tôt, la MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6G est équipée du fameux Twin Frozr V de la firme avec un total de quatre caloducs, trois de 8mm et un de 6mm. Elle a deux ventilateurs de 100mm chargés de refroidir le large radiateur connecté à la base en cuivre nickelé par les caloducs mentionnés précédemment. Faisant partie de la série Gaming, la GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6G est rouge et noire et ses finitions sont d'une qualité tout à fait correc
The MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming graphics card, or to be precise our sample of
it, allowed a maximum stable overclock of 1'480 MHz
for the GPU and 1'800 MHz on the memory side. We used Furemark V1.11.0 Geeks3D
benchmark with 15 minutes duration. With these clocks we had to feed the GPU
with 1.193 Volts and the memory ran at stock voltages.
A closer look at the PCB shows that MSI equipped this card with a
8+2+1 phase digital power design. The GPU gets its current from eight phases, two phases take good care of the 6GB of GDDR5 memory and two additional phase are in charge of PLL. Once more, MSI is using high quality chokes.
Checking the voltage regulation chip, we find a digital multi-phase buck
controller NCP8114.
The memory chips used are made by SKHynix and carry the model number
H5GQ4H24MFR. They are specified to run at 1'750 MHz (7'000 MHz
effective)
