Apart from the golden fan and HDMI port MSI's 980 Ti GOLDEN Edition also comes with a moderate factory overclock, 1140MHz Base, 1228MHz Boost and 7GHz memory, with an observed frequency of 1329MHz in game. [H]ard|OCP managed to up those to 1290MHz Base and 1378MHz Boost and 7.8GHz memory with the card hitting 1504MHz in game. That overclock produced noticeable results in many games and pushed it close to the performance of [H]'s overclocked MSI 980 Ti LIGHTNING. The LIGHTNING proved to be the better card in terms of performance, both graphically and thermally, however it is also more expensive than the GOLDEN and does not have quite the same aesthetics, if that is important to you.
"Today we evaluate the MSI GTX 980 Ti GOLDEN Edition video card. This video card features a pure copper heatsink geared towards faster heat dissipation and better temps on air than other air cooled video cards. We will compare it to the MSI GTX 980 Ti LIGHTNING, placing the two video cards head to head in an overclocking shootout. "

Same old SMALL radiator. That
Same old SMALL radiator. That heatsink + 2300rpm (probably) fans aren’t enough for a 250 TDP card, like 980 Ti. Thing is MSI on these 900 series, made a single heatsink design and thats it, needs to work :)))
And on R9 300 series like 390x, msi has a bigger heatsink, curious why…
Hope on pascal gpu’s msi will bring back the strong radiators, not these gtx960/970-like radiators.

Polaris performs like two
Polaris performs like two reference 980 Ti, and it’s coming out in two~three months. Cry me a river.
Polaris is a GPU architecture
Polaris is a GPU architecture with different GPU’s so I don’t know what you mean when you say it “performs like two reference 980 Ti”.
Nor do we have any reliable information other than an UNKNOWN Polaris GPU compared to a GTX950, and that only compared power consumption.
