ASUS GTX 980 STRIX DC II OC Video Card Review @ [H]

I never fully understood how [H] tests their video cards using the subjective image IQ method but when you have an overpowered GPU like the GTX 980 it really doesn't matter.

Today we delve into the ASUS GTX 980 STRIX DC II OC, which features custom cooling, 0dB fans and high overclocking potential. We'll experiment with this Maxwell GPU by overclocking it to the extreme. It will perform head to head against the ASUS ROG R9 290X MATRIX-P in today's most demanding games, including Far Cry

The nice thing about the STRIX card is that it should come with a factory overclock (though seesm to be missing), larger cooler and upgraded VRM for LN2 action if you are so inclined.  Their overclocking tests look pretty good though they didn't compensate for "real" turbo speeds bur rather relied on what GPU-Z was reporting.
