VR Edition: two cards with EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti

A video card specification for virtual reality solutions? And 'what we propose with the EVGA GeForce GTX 980Ti own VR Edition, but the name must not deceive us. Each video card with sufficient computing power can drive in an effective way a viewer for virtual reality and from this point of view the new proposal EVGA introduces nothing new. The name VR Edition is referred to some technical solutions implemented on the card, which facilitate the connection with VR viewers.

Two are the peculiarities introduced by EVGA, the first directly on the card: it is a HDMI 2.0 connector located in the back of the card, so that the cable for the display may not be connected outside the system as always happens but directly to the its inside.

This feature taken alone seems more an oddity that a peculiarity, but everything takes on sense with the second accessory: a box for 5-inch slot and 1/4, to be mounted in one of the slots present in their own homes, which provides two USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI 2.0 connector. 5.25 installed video card and box connects the HDMI video connector to the box, so that the connection to the VR viewer does not happen from the back of the case but directly from the front.

EVGA offers two versions of this card: the first is based on reference design NVIDIA, while the second uses a raffreddamneto ACX 2.0+ system internally developed by EVGA. The remaining technical specifications, available in detail on the EVGA site are those of the reference design NVIDIA: of the 1 GHz GPU clock frequency, which climbs up to 1,076 MHz as the value of Turbo Boost, while the 6 Gbytes of GDDR5 video memory they operate with a clock frequency of 7 GHz actual.
