MSI Intros GeForce GTX 980 Ti Armor2X Graphics Card

[btarunr]

MSI released the GeForce GTX 980 Ti Armor2X OC graphics card (model: V323). This is MSI's second cost-effective GTX 980 Ti offering, besides the GTX 980 Ti OC V1, which the company plans to offer at near-reference prices, despite a factory-overclock. Unlike the OC V1, this card features a cost-effective dual-fan cooling solution that sticks to the "Krait" color scheme of contrasting black and white; with a black PCB that lacks a back-plate. On offer, is a factory overclock of 1178 MHz core, 1279 MHz GPU Boost, and an untouched 7010 MHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. The card features the usual 6 GB of GDDR5 memory across a 384-bit wide memory bus, draws power from a combination of 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power connectors, and offers display outputs of one each DVI, HDMI 2.0, and DisplayPort 1.2 connectors.

Simply put it keeps the PCB from bending which means less chance of getting broken traces and solder point's.
