The MSI GTX 980 Ti Sea Hawk (Maxwell 2.0) model joined the NVIDIA lineup of graphics accelerators on 02.06.2015. Thanks to modern manufacturing technology, engineers managed to place 8.0 billion transistorsistors transistors on a 601 mm² die. The model's computational arsenal includes 2816 universal processors. Also available are 0 specialized cores for ray rendering and 0 cores for accelerating artificial intelligence. The GDDR5 video memory capacity is 6 GB. Thanks to the 384 bit-bit bus, bandwidth reaches 336.60 GB/s, eliminating delays when working with demanding textures. In standard mode, the core operates at 1190 MHz, but auto-overclocking technology allows it to reach 1291 MHz under load. The nominal thermal design power is 250 W. For stable system operation, a PSU of 600 W or more will be required.
