KFA2 GTX980 HOF Hall Of Fame Edition Review
Introduction and Technical Specifications
Published: 24th March 2015 | Source: KFA2 | Price: £599 |
Introduction
Naming things has always been a complicated business. You want something that is readily identifiable, but not necessarily always pointed towards something else. If you called your child Blancmange, it's likely they'll be easily identifiable, but we'll always think of pudding.
Businesses have this problem tenfold. You want brand identity to instil loyalty, which makes the reappearance of KFA2 as a brand something confusing for anyone who read our Galax GTX970 EX OC Black review. In that we discussed how KFA2 had been unified under the Galax umbrella, and the card itself was sufficient to make people sit up and take notice. Since then there have been sufficient legal rumblings about trademarks for Galax to revert to the KFA2 brand for this particular GTX980.
As if that wasn't enough, this is called the Hall Of Fame edition. Talk about chutzpah. Hopefully this isn't a case of hubris, but KFA2 are already setting themselves up for fall if the HOF is anything but awesome.
Technical Specifications
The main thing to note when dealing with a factory overclocked card is the clock speeds, and the HOF comes out of the package with a seriously quick clock by default. We've struggled to pass 1400MHz on certain manufacturers cards, let alone be confident enough in the quality of our GPUs to make it the default speed.
