I was tempted to get the reference card by Nvidia sold here by Best Buy, however, it's actually $50+ more than EVGA's superclocked version of the card. Don't get me wrong, the reference card's cooler with backplate is much more appealing than EVGA's 980 SC, however, right out of the box, the EVGA 980 is already factory overclocked with a lot of more headroom to overclock it even more for more performance. My only gripe is that for the money that we pay for, we could've had a backplate with this thing. EVGA made backplates for their GPUs, but you have to pay an additional $19.99 for it (which is ridiculous in my opinion). Other than that, you'll run most games at ultra settings and 60+ fps on a 1080p monitor. Of course, the performance of the game is highly dependent on how well optimized the developers made the game you intend to play on PC. Another drawback is that you may get some potential PSU coil whine. Whenever this GPU is tasked with 100+ fps on any single game, you'll start hearing your PSU make this coil whine noise. At first, I thought it was my PSU (which is EVGA as well - 750W), but it turns out that Nvidia's 900 series cards are known to have this issue. It's not a big deal as you will eventually not notice it, but it's there. Great performing GPU overall

It was time to upgrade from a EVGA 570 to be able to handle upcoming games. Upgraded mainly for GTA 5 and Witcher 3 and other future titles. Card is extremely quiet and the feature for the fans to kick in at 60-65C is a nice feature. The card is absolute powerhouse and more then doubled FPS on Battlefield 4 with Ultra settings.
