Typical GTX 980 Problems

Overheating (especially reference models)

  • Cards with blower-style cooling often suffered from high temperatures, reducing performance due to throttling.
  • Examples: reference models from ASUS, EVGA (early revisions).

Power supply issues (VRM and MOSFET)

  • Some versions of EVGA cards had insufficiently cooled power zones, which led to overheating and possible failure.
  • The manufacturer later released the Thermal Pad Mod Kit.

Artifacts and crashes under load

  • Occurred in cards with overclocked frequencies (OC versions), especially with poor cooling or unsuccessful chips.
  • For example, ZOTAC AMP! Extreme sometimes had instability at factory settings.

Problems with drivers and HDMI 2.0

  • Some users complained about unstable operation with 4K displays (flickering, artifacts).
  • This was especially true for early BIOS versions from MSI and ASUS.

⚠️ Manufacturers with the most frequent complaints:

  • EVGA: ACX 2.0, ACX 2.0+ SC. VRM overheating, crashes
  • ZOTAC: AMP! Omega / Extreme. Instability, noisy fans
  • ASUS: STRIX GTX 980. Coil whine, high VRM temperatures
  • MSI: GTX 980 Gaming 4G. Throttling with poor case airflow
  • Gigabyte: Windforce 3X OC. Noise, instability at factory overclocking

✅ Less problematic:

  • MSI Gaming (Lightning Edition) — reliable components, high-quality cooling.
  • ASUS Matrix Platinum — good cooling and stability.
  • EVGA Classified — subject to proper ventilation.
