GeForce GTX 980 4GB GDDR5

The PNY GeForce GTX 980 is a graphics card built on the NVIDIA Maxwell architecture with 2048 CUDA cores and 4GB of GDDR5 memory. It targets gamers and creators who need strong 1080p and 1440p performance. The card delivers a 1126 MHz core clock and a 1216 MHz boost clock.

PCI Express 3.0 x16 Interface

The card fits a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and draws power from the board and supplementary connectors. It provides one DVI, one HDMI and three DisplayPort outputs for multi-monitor setups. SLI Ready support allows a second identical card to be added for increased throughput.

4GB 256-Bit Memory Buffer

The 4GB frame buffer on a 256-bit bus running at 7000 MHz effective handles high-resolution textures and 4096 x 2160 output comfortably. In modern titles with very large texture packs or heavy ray-tracing workloads the 4GB capacity can become a limiting factor. DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.4 support ensure compatibility with current APIs.

Questions about this item

What core clock speed will the GTX 980 hold during long gaming sessions?

The GPU runs at a base clock of 1126 MHz and can boost up to 1216 MHz; sustained speeds depend on the card's thermal headroom inside your case.

How loud and hot does the GTX 980 get when running all day?

The reference blower exhausts heat out the rear; noise and temperature vary with case airflow and the fan curve you set in software.

Which power connectors must my supply already have for this card?

The GTX 980 requires two 6-pin PCIe power cables from your PSU to operate.
