ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Matrix Platinum Review
Category : NVIDIA
Published by Hiwa Pouri on 10.12.14
Today ASUS lifted the NDA for the new GeForce GTX 980 Matrix Platinum graphics card. This new and monstrous high-end card comes with a shedload of features, which are not only supposed to be interesting to gamers but also for overclockers. At this point we're really curious to find out what this card can do in our review.
Presentation
ASUS has recently announced its newest ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Matrix Platinum graphics card and today we have a chance to check out if the the new ROG
MATRIX graphics card can live up to its name and the level of both performance
and manufacturing quality expected from a Republic of Gamers MATRIX edition
graphics card.
ASUS provided the GeForce GTX 980 Matrix Platinum with a really steep factory overclock.
This GPU on this particular card is set to run a 1241 MHz base clock and a
whopping 1342 MHz boost clock. In the case of the maximum boost clock, which is
actually achieved while gaming we see our sample running at 1392 MHz. The clock
speeds we're only lower when we were running Furmark and it this case the card
was still capable of pushing out 1392 MHz. If you keep in mind, that NVIDIA's
reference card runs 1126 MHz base clock and 1216 MHz boost clock you see that
ASUS's maximum boost clock is more than 14.5 percent higher and this is going to
make for a well measurable difference.
Unfortunately ASUS did not overclock the 4GB of GDDR5 memory although there is
quite some potential slumbering in the chips the maker is using they're set to
run at 1'753 MHz (7'012 MHz effective).

The card
ASUS equipped the new GeForce GTX 980 Matrix Platinum graphics card
with its own dual-slot, dual-fan cooler with CoolTech fan technology which
feature hybrid and dust-proof fan technology which should accelerate heat
removal. The first, or right side fan is the standard one which provides
directional airflow which combined with the second, left side hybrid fan, provides
multi-directional airflow. The fans are in charge of cooling the hefty heatsink
which features one 10mm direct-contact copper heatpipe, two 8mm as well as two
6mm ones and should provide up to 30 percent cooler operation compared to
reference cooled graphics cards. The GeForce GTX 980 Matrix Platinum also
comes with an aluminum back plate which should keep the backside cool as well as
provide more structural ridgidity to the entire graphics card. Apart from that
the cooler is being kept in black entirely, which makes it look very nice once
again.
This card allowed for a maximum stable overclocking of 1550 MHz regarding the GPU and
2098 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 1.21 Volt and the memory ran at stock
voltages.
The custom PCB features ASUS' DIGI+ 14-phase with Black Metallic Capacitors,
concrete-core chokes and hardened MOSFETs, order to ensure high stability and
lifetime. The custom PCB are not the only features packed on the ASUS GeForce
GTX 980 Matrix Platinum as it has a few more tricks up its sleeve including
the Memory Defroster, which helps defrosting
memory during subzero overclocking in order to ensure better stability and getting
rid of the memory cold bugs. Apart from that there is also a so called "Clear VBIOS" button which restores the graphics
card to its defalut frequencies and voltages. Furthermore there is also a ROG color-coded LED LOGO
which shows GPUs load level. It also comes with ASUS' ROG Edition GPU Tweak
to give you precise control over GPU clock frequency, VRM and cooler.
The memory chips used are made by Samsung and carry the model number
K4G41325FC-HC28. They are specified to run at 1'753 MHz (7'012 MHz effective).

Delivery
The card ships well bolstered in a foam made mold. Bundled with the graphics
card there are the user guide, the driver CD and two power converter (2x6-Pin-PCIe to
1x8-Pin-PCIe). The bundle is actually ok, but we would have loved to find some addtional goodies.
The door hanger, which can be found with ROG motherboards would be nice
for instance or maybe even marchandising stuff like a keychain.

Conclusion
General |
|
+ |
- |
With the GeForce GTX 980 Matrix
Platinum, ASUS
has created a high-end NVIDIA based graphics cards, which comes with a
really long
feature list. There is for instance memory defrost for overclockers, which is being triggered by
flipping the LN2 Mode switch. Apart from that you get a VGA BIOS clear button and VGA
hotwire.
This card is a really good combination and it will please
high-end gamers as well as overclockers, although overclockers will have
to modify quite a few things in order to break records. Memory defrost is actually
quite a tricky and unique thing, since ASUS decided to place heating
elements in close proximity to the memory chips, which makes sure, there
won't be cold bug issues related to the memory. Overall this is a strikingly good
looking card with excellent build quality.
Especially the DirectCU II cooler, which recieved a black paint job is
simply gorgeous. |

The latest version of ASUS' DirectCU II cooler is
definitely highly capable, although not the single most sophisticated when
compared to the competition. Nevertheless the results gathered show this
cooler allows for more than just a decent factory overclocking on the GTX
980 chip. When it comes to noise levels the card is subjectively
speaking very silent in idle and under load it can still be described as
silent. |

Overall, the 3D performance is simply
excellent, since this card features the highest factory overclock we've
come across. Nevertheless performance could have been further improved
by also overclocking the memory. In the end this is the fastest GTX 980
money can buy these days.
A closer look at power consumption reveals that the GeForce GTX 980
Matrix Platinum
draws a bit more power in idle than the other GTX 980 cards we've had
for review so far, but since we're talking about very few watts this
does not have a negative impact on the overall rating. |

If we look for the price of this
monstrous card we're going to find one more impressive number. These
days the card is listed for not less than 699 Euro on Geizhals. If we
compare this with factory overclocked custom cards from other makers,
then we find differences of up to 160 Euro. This card is definitely very
expensive and this is actually the only thing that can be criticized. We
really hope that within the first months after launch the price is going
to drop by about 100 Euro. In comparison to the competition the card
would still be expensive but the extra could be justified by the
insanely high build quality. |
