KFA2 announced a special edition of its GeForce GTX 980 HOF graphics card, designed by professional overclocker 8Pack. The new 8Pack Edition GTX 980 by KFA2 is one of the highest clocked cards out of the box, with 1304 MHz core, 1440 MHz GPU Boost, and an untouched 7.00 GHz memory, compared to reference clocks of 1127 MHz core and 1216 MHz GPU Boost. The card features a strong VRM that draws power from a pair of 8-pin PCIe power connectors, and a large triple-fan cooling solution. It features dual-BIOS with manual switching, letting you overclock by playing with the BIOS, with a failsafe BIOS at the push of a button. Available now, the KFA2 GTX 980 8Pack Edition is priced at 589 GBP (incl VAT). It's eligible for NVIDIA's new game bundle with game codes for "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" and "Batman: Arkham Knight."

It's like a 6 pack, but with a couple of extra kegs.

I don't get why anyone should care about these jabronis. Id buy a vid card for the specs not cause some chump is on the box or their name is on the card.

I guess anyone interested in this card doesn't care much what it looks like but I find it on the ugly side too. It's made for serious overclocking. Subtracting the 20% VAT from the price that comes to around $745 US so that's $50 less than the Kinpin Edition. If it overclocks as well then I guess it's worth it to people that like to really push a card.

Well...I don't think it looks bad personally though its not a design that really speaks to me or is something I would want. Honestly though its kind of disappointing because personally my reason for liking the HOF cards is the white PCB which this does not have.

I think it is funny because they are essentially trying to take the same route that EVGA did with this card.

That 'chump' there is one of the best Overclocker in the world, might want to respect that. Takes a whole lot of dedication to reach that level, you know :). And if you would buy the card for its specs, it has max. boost clock under HyperBoost mode at 1480 Mhz, making it one of the fastest GTX 980 out there.

Those cards might be specially binned like his usual PC build, so it probably has better overclockability than your average GTX 980.

I suppose they think they can intimidate you into buying one for what appear would be close to the price of an upcoming 980Ti. I suppose if your musing is just finding some OC record it has merit, other than that it doesn't really stimulate the average gaming centric person.

I wonder how much sorting they do to get these, and out of those they find the "golden samples", providing those to their sponsored OC crew.

You don't have to like the graphics card, you don't have to like 8-pack. Heck you can dislike GALAX/KFA as a whole. You're entitled to that, but you don't know him, have never seen him and essentially know nothing about what he does for a living, history, achievements etc. Essentially know nothing about him, but from this vacuum, he's a "Chump"?
Wow!
