ASUS introduced new products for the hardware product variants called Strix series. Strix product series is aimed at gamers, ROG variant complements his more premium, at a price that is cheaper but does not reduce the quality. Because it is aimed at gamers, in addition to variants of the graphics card, Strix series is also present in other forms of gaming peripherals such as headsets, keyboards, mice, and special mousepad.
As the name implies, the ASUS GTX 980 DC2OC Strix comes with the use of pre-OC GPU clock of 1178 MHz with GPU Boost which is claimed to reach 1279 MHz. But from our test, this graphics card listed GPU Boost can achieve higher, 1304 MHz, and can change according to temperature conditions and limitations in its power. As for the memory, ASUS did not change significantly with the clock of 7012 MHz GDDR5 effective.

Views of the ASUS GTX 980 is quick Strix is not much different from the GTX 970 Strix we have reviewed previously. Strix cooler design uses a cover / shroud made of black aluminum that is thick, making this graphics card feels very solid so you first hold it.
Strix cooling solution is still using DirectCU II cooling method, which means that each copper heatpipes in direct contact cooling will (contact) with the surface of the GPU, which is believed to provide better cooling process than conventional methods.
The cooling fan on the Strix also already have the technology "0dB Fan" which means when the GPU load conditions are not too high, the fan will not spin and the graphics card will run passively without producing the slightest noise. The fan will start spinning when the GPU temperature reaches 65-67 degrees Celsius.
ASUS the thumbs-up to a PCB design on this graphics card specifically to elevate the position of SLI connector, in order to facilitate the user when multi-GPU configuration. This problem was found in the other graphics card vendors who use the cover is too high, making it hard while doing konfiguras SLI, but ASUS has thought of this solution a step further.
Strix ASUS GTX 980 provides the display connector as follows:
1x Dual-link DVI-D
1x HDMI 2.0
3x Display Port 1.2
You can use the display 4K @ 60Hz on all outputs available except DVI-D. Configurations NVIDIA Surround also possible to do the minimum required to keep the use of a single DisplayPort.
Conclusion
ASUS again showed the high quality of their products is reflected in the GTX 980 graphics card Strix DC2OC this. Armed with Maxwell GPU fastest and most efficient today, the ASUS GTX 980 to mix with the formula they have and make this graphics card as one of the "Top of The Class" of the graphics card on the market today. Not only the outward appearance that has a very solid build quality, ASUS arming of special components on the graphics card with DIGI + VRM + SUPER ALLOY POWER which is claimed to provide stability and durability of up to 2.5 times of the normal component. So it is no wonder if ASUS can guarantee this product warranty to a total of four years.
The performance of the ASUS GTX 980 DC2OC Strix is no doubt, from our test graphics card is successfully confirmed as the graphics card is the fastest single GPU, the GTX 780 Ti even past and TITAN Black though. Recognized as a pre-OC graphics card, the GTX 980 DC2OC Strix does not come with specs (GPU / Boost Clock) is the highest compared to other GTX 980 we've ever test them, so its performance remain inadequate (out of the box), and needed a little "touch "tweak if you want to compete with the GTX 980 OC pre-other. The opposite may apply to your professional overclockers, because this graphics card has the potential of high performance, ASUS provides the option of using a hard-mod hotwire to manually increase the voltage that is not possible through software, or available at another 980 GTX graphics card to the generally.
