ROG Matrix, Poseidon Platinum and Gold Edition

During its press event, Asus has unveiled three new high-end custom Geforce GTX 980 Ti graphics cards, the Republic of Gamers GTX 980 Ti Matrix, the hybrid-cooled GTX 980 Ti Poseidon Platinum and the 20th Anniversary Gold Edition GTX 980 Ti.

These three new custom Geforce GTX 980 Ti graphics cards, pictured during the event by Cowcotland.com, will join Asus' GTX 980 Ti Strix which already got some rather impressive review scores, mostly due to high factory-overclock and the new DirectCU III cooler.

Similar to the GTX 980 Ti Strix, the Asus ROG GTX 980 Ti Matrix graphics card features a custom PCB, beefed up VRM powered by two 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors and a well known dual-slot dual-fan DirectCU II cooler. While it did not unveil any precise specifications, Asus did say that we could expect over 20 percent factory-overclock.

The most interesting graphics card in the lineup is definitely the Asus GTX 980 Ti Poseidon Platinum with its DirectCU H20 cooler. We already saw plenty of Poseidon graphics cards earlier and in case you missed it, this one comes with a dual-fan air-cooler which can also be hooked up to an existing liquid cooling system. The GTX 980 Ti Poseidon Platinum will work at 1114MHz for the GPU base and 1203MHz for the GPU Boost clock while memory will remain at reference 7.0GHz.

The last custom Asus GTX 980 Ti graphics card in the lineup is the 20th Anniversary Edition GTX 980 Ti Gold Platinum which is quite similar to the ROG GTX 980 Ti Matrix but features different kind of fans and should feature a slightly higher end components, similar to the previously available ASUS GTX 980 20th Anniversary Gold Edition.

Asus will have plenty of custom Geforce GTX 980 Ti to choose from and will cover a rather wide price range as well as have some of the highest factory-overclocked GTX 980 Ti graphics cards on the market.
