Hardware & Technical Feedback on Maxwell 970/980

Of course, there are many tests in the specialized press. But this is not the target here ... Just to get the opinions of commanders who have these cards. Always nice for the community to have the opinions of gamers.

I've got 2 Gigabyte GTX 980 G1 Gaming cards in SLI.

They are beast cards.
