True, but to maintain 65 C @ 1539MHz on air quite a "feather in the hat"!Glancing around online, 1500MHz on air doesn't seem to be a serious stretch for a lot of the 980Ti's out there. A BIOS modification is probably the only real prerequisite.

Don't let the meager resolution to fool you. DSR is just too tempting to resist the upgrade to 980Ti.I bought a GTX 970 a few months ago so while I'm fairly amazed at how much performance nVidia is squeezing out of the 28nm process, I can't imagine justifying the purchase of this new card. Especially so as I have a nice 1080p HDTV/monitor that I'm holding off on upgrading.
But progress is progress and I'm encouraged to see these 980 Ti cards, and AMD's Fury cards. The bar is now set pretty high for the next generation of cards on the newer process.
Oh, I like it and can use it in some titles. I enjoy my upgrades and it's something of a ritual. I'll just say that the 980 Ti is a great card but it doesn't fit into my upgrade cycle, or my price range. But it's still an important card to me as it signifies the level of performance that has to be beat by the next generation of top tier cards.Don't let the meager resolution to fool you.

Big Pascal should be adding back reasonable FP64 capabilities so I'm wondering how much FP32 (FP16?) performance that will soak up.I bought a GTX 970 a few months ago so while I'm fairly amazed at how much performance nVidia is squeezing out of the 28nm process, I can't imagine justifying the purchase of this new card.

All test have been run on our primary graphics card test setup. This is based on a Core i7 5960X (8-core) X99 (MSI XPower) based PC with 16 GB of 2133 MHz (G.Skill) quad channel memory. This system has been overclocked toward 4.4 GHz on all eight cores.

The graphics card used was a GeForce GTX 980 Ti (reference running driver revision 353.62) to make sure we are not GPU limited. I am still running benchmarks and will add them as they come. The settings used are GPU stringent in terms of quality, they are the same settings per game or application as used in all our reviews.
http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/corsair-bulldog-back-in-black.htmlLast June Corsair unveiled a prototype of Bulldogg, a powerful gaming platform that packs the sheer performance of a full-size desktop gaming PC into a gorgeous new all-black, whisper-quiet console chassis designed for the living room.
Corsair’s proprietary liquid cooling technology makes it possible to overclock both the CPU and graphics card, allowing Bulldog to render silky smooth 4K graphics faster and quieter than conventional PCs. An included Corsair Hydro Series H5 SF liquid cooling block and radiator cools the CPU. Liquid cooled GeForce® GTX 980 Ti graphics cards, developed by Corsair and MSI, will be available separately from Corsair.com in the US. In addition, Corsair will sell a liquid cooling kit for graphics cards, comprised of an HG10 cooling bracket and Hydro Series H55 liquid cooler, for users that want to upgrade their existing graphics card.
The initial release of Bulldog is designed with PC do-it-yourselfers in mind, with a builder-friendly layout and tool-free features, and uses standard mini-ITX motherboards and SFX12V PSUs for future-proof upgradeability enabling users to keep pace as games and hardware evolve. The Bulldog DIY kit includes the chassis, power supply, CPU cooler, and motherboard, will be available at year-end at a suggested price of $399 USD.
In this review we test the GeForce GTX 980 Ti with the longest name evah! The new GeForce GTX 980 Ti Extreme Gaming WaterForce GPU review from Gigabyte. This product impresses by design as it comes in an all custom design with liquid cooling in the form of a WaterForce All-In-One closed loop water cooling system. The result is a card that offers excellent game rendering performance at silent noise levels.
So that's what happens when you put a watercooler on a 980Ti. And it still uses less power than the FuryX
Other than the obvious reduction in noise, I"m not as impressed as I hoped to be. The real challenge is having enough voltage to take advantage of the excellent cooling. With a max of +87mv, the attained clocks are only ~50MHz (max) from what my Gigabyte 980Ti G1 Windforce can do.
Still, Maxwell is a honkin' beast.
It began with Nvidia's Green Light program.Why does NV implement a hard power limit on their cards?
Actually why is it so huge? This goes for GPUs in general. Most are 2x bigger than they really need to be.
I hope AMD continues the trend of making small reference designs. And I wish NVIDIA would follow suit. But I guess with even mITX systems capable of handling 13" cards, it isn't a huge deal in the grand scheme. Just a pet peeve.
