EVGA Z97 FTW - Back to top

Overclockers.com

OVerclockers Approved - Overclockers.com

"The FTW is built to push any i5 or i7 Haswell CPU as far as any ambient cooling method will take you. There are a few extra troubleshooting features that most motherboards don’t exhibit, including the PCIe lane switches and EZ Voltage Read Points."

Bit-tech

86% Overall Score - Bit-tech

"The EVGA Z87 Stinger has hit the nail on the head as far as performance and overclocking are concerned. If you're at all concerned about having the very best results at stock speed, or being able to achieve the highest overclock, the Z87 Stinger should definitely be on your shortlist."

"Not only does it have the higher end features, it looks the part too. Again, you all know me by now and I love understated styling in my old age. Black is the new black on this board. Only a couple of red highlights ‘de-cloak’ this board from the stealthy all black look, so it should go well aesthetically with a lot of themes."

"I really do like EVGA’s UEFI BIOS. It is extremely easy to use, even for a beginner. I was able to find everything without any issues and it didn't hang or freeze once."
 
Toms hardware

Toms hardware Approved - Toms hardware

"To get that high memory bandwidth, we first need to find a high data rate. EVGA’s X99 Micro helps us by outputting near-perfect DIMM voltage, where both the CPU and DRAM need near-perfection to reach the RAM's rated DDR4-3000."
 

EVGA X99 FTW - Back to top

HiTechLegion

Gold Award - HiTechLegion

"The EVGA X99 FTW is designed for the high-end enthusiast system or for workstation use. To me, this is clearly the focus, considering that the chips for the LGA 2011-3 socket are designed for pure CPU processing power..."
 
Overclockers

Overclockers Approved - Overclockers

"I love the look of the EVGA boards and have been pleased with all that I have used thus far. The X99 based FTW was no exception. Navigation inside the UEFI was easy and intuitive. I like that the vast majority of overclocking options one needs is all in one section and the rest of the configuration options are just a tab away, giving it a pretty ergonomic feel.”"

"EVGA does things their own way and I absolutely love that. The rest of the market seems to play follow the leader imitating a lot of what Asus does but the best way to grow market share isn’t to do what everyone else is doing, EVGA is clearly paving their own way"
 
Tweaktown

Editors Choice "Must Have" - Tweaktown

"…the EVGA UEFI BIOS is an absolute breeze to use. It looks great, everything is easy to find, and as you saw today, it helped achieve an extremely strong overclock on our i7 5960X EE."
 
Overclockers.com

Overclockers Approved - Overclockers.com

"The EVGA X99 Classified gives any enthusiast the tools they need to get the most from their Haswell-E Processor. While overclocking the i7 5960X to 4.9 GHz, the X99 Classified was eager to please and capable of pushing it as far as it would go. You’re more than likely going to reach the overclocking limit of your CPU long before this motherboard gets in your way."

Approved - Overclockers.com

"Kudos to EVGA for recognizing how popular small form factor systems are becoming among computer enthusiasts and providing products aimed squarely at them."
 
HEXUS

Recommended - HEXUS

"What makes EVGA’s Hadron Hydro chassis particularly useful is its ability to house a single, full-size graphics card. Scan has maximised this potential by using an overclocked EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked graphics card that delivers massive gaming potential... In many ways, the Scan 3XS Z87 Hadron Hydro is the epitome of a high-end, modern-day gaming PC."

Overclockers Approved - Overclockers.com

"If you’ve been looking for a GTX 980 with top notch performance, a terrific cooling solution, and a stout factory applied overclock, then the EVGA GTX 980 Superclocked ACX 2.0 may very well be what you’ve been waiting on. Without question… Overclockers approved!"
 
Tek Syndicate

"It's a freakin' GTX980, its fast already, so they've made it even faster. The ACX Cooler 2.0 plenty of fins, and heatpipes touching directly on the core, and what makes it special, they just went through and tweaked it a bit and made it a little better all around....."
 

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Hydro Copper - Back to top

PC Perspective

- PC Perspective

"The cooling performance of the block coupled with our 360mm+ radiator setup produced incredibly low temperatures on the GPU - 42C under a sustained gaming load. Though I can't prove it quite yet, I think it's more than fair to say there is a TON of headroom left in GM204 and we should be seeing much higher clock speeds with some additional voltage flexibility. (And if KingPin's results are in any way an indication, we should see a LOT of clock headroom.)"

"What really impressed us was the level of overclocking performance we got from simply adjusting clock frequencies using EVGA PrecisionX.”"
 
HEXUS

Wish List - HEXUS

"A fully-custom PCB, myopic focus on stable power delivery and high-quality cooling combine to make the Classified one of the very fastest single-GPU cards on the market. Primed to be overclocked further via BIOS and voltage manipulation, we fully expect enthusiasts to achieve 1,600MHz-plus core speeds on air... with the promise of more on water or more esoteric cooling."
 

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 - Back to top

TechPowerUp

Editor's Choice - TechPowerUp

"Overclocking our sample worked extremely well, reaching the highest clocks in our GTX 970 test group. Memory topped out at beyond 2 GHz, in part due to the card's well-overclocking Samsung chips. EVGA's heatsink does not cool the memory chips with the baseplate, but uses the fans' airflow instead, an approach that works quite well."
 
Fudzilla

Top Value - Fudzilla

"With the ACX/ACX 2.0, EVGA designed a special heatsink with a lot of dissipation surfaces. To maximize dissipation volume, EVGA used a few tricks, such as tall fins at the sides of the cooler. The heatsink was designed in such a way to minimize airflow turbulence between the fans, with clever barriers directing the airflow."

".. I was able to overclock significantly and that is one of the great benefits of the 970, one of the benefits of the Maxwell architecture allows for some pretty insane overclocks....."

Anandtech

- Anandtech

"...at 1440p the GTX 970 averages just 1% faster than the R9 290X... They have undercut AMD with better hardware at a lower price, leaving AMD in a very tenuous position. AMD would have to cut R9 290X’s price by nearly $200 to be performance competitive, and even then they can’t come close to matching NVIDIA’s big edge in power consumption."
 
Overclockers.com

Overclockers Approved - Overclockers.com

"The EVGA GTX 970 FTW proved to be a great performing card that has many features gaming enthusiasts look for. Low power consumption, excellent cooling from the ACX 2.0, a massive factory applied overclock, and performance that puts it ahead of the AMD R9 290X in most cases all add up to the GTX 970 FTW being a serious contender for your next graphics card purchase."

"From performance to acoustics the FTW delivered in a big way despite being one of the fastest sub-$400 cards currently available.... However, for its target market, the GTX 970 FTW is one of the best solutions currently available. "
