The Card
EVGA's GTX 980 Ti SC+ comes with the company's ACX 2.0 thermal solution. Some other manufacturers have begun using metal for their heatsink shrouds, but EVGA uses plastic, which is no big deal. The shroud still looks good because of its structured surface. Unlike the GTX 980 Ti reference design, a metal backplate has been applied to the board. Dimensions of the card are 26.5 cm x 11.0 cm.
Installation requires two slots in your system.
Display connectivity options include one DVI port, one HDMI port, and three DisplayPorts.
The GPU also includes an HDMI sound device. It is HDMI 2.0 compatible, which includes HD audio and Blu-ray 3D movies support.
NVIDIA has confirmed Quad-SLI support, so you may combine four GTX 980 Ti cards in a multi-GPU SLI configuration.
