If you’re looking for a graphics card that will work and is one of the best on the market, then this is the graphics card you’re looking for. The new EVGA GeForce GTX 980 is powered by the next-generation NVIDIA Maxwell architecture, giving you incredible performance, unmatched power efficiency, and cutting-edge features.
This graphics card has 4gb. The card is not one of the biggest ones on the market but it certainly makes up for that with the speed it possesses. And to turn on this beast you need a minimum of 500w just to turn on. And Overclocking always helps if you are looking for even more power.
Now keep in mind that this card is not for just any gamer, you need to know what you are doing if you are thinking about buying this card. Although the price is up there, it is definitely worth. Because if you want the best you can get this is the card for you.
