GALAX’s (formerly Galaxy) has launched the much awaited Hall of Fame edition Maxwell graphics cards. GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 Hall of Fame edition GPUs live up to the reputation of being equipped with a completely redesigned milky white PCB, insane VRM design, beastly cooler and highest factory overclocked clock speeds.
GALAX GeForce GTX 980 & 970 Hall of Fame Edition GPUs lift up the standards
GALAX’s new GTX 900 series Hall of Fame graphics cards live up to the reputation and bring out the best performance one can expect. GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 Hall of Fame GPUs feature a completely redesigned custom 10 layer PCB and an extra-ordinary VRM design. Each card is individually tuned with the highest core clock and comes with Triple Force cooling solution.
