Designed for gamers, the MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Lightning LE Graphics Card provides high-resolution gaming at fast frame rates. It features an altered "Big Maxwell" chip. With its 2816 CUDA cores clocked at 1026 MHz and 6GB of over-clocked GDDR5 vRAM coupled with a 384-bit interface, the GTX 980 Ti packs quite a processing punch.
There are three DisplayPort outputs, in addition to an HDMI output and a DVI output. 4K resolution can be output through the DisplayPort and HDMI terminals. Even if the card is connected to a lower-resolution display, the GTX 980 Ti can use technologies like DSR and MFAA to leverage the extra resolution for a higher-quality image. The GTX 980 Ti is not just about high-resolution gaming. Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU's 2816 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA or other APIs. With a compatible motherboard and a connecting bracket, two or more of these cards can combine processing power using NVIDIA's Scalable Link Interface (SLI).
The Lightning LE features the MSI TriFrozr thermal design, which uses three TORX fans with dispersion and traditional fan blades to force air through the heatsink and dissipate heat in order to lower the GPU's internal temperature. The heatsink itself has fins, which are connected through a number of 8mm thick pipes with a nickel-plated copper base at the heart of the thermal design. Because this kind of cooler recirculates air back into the case, this card works best in cases that have unrestricted airflow.
