What problems should I expect if I buy anyway. I do mechanical design and some quite large models but no render** A: Edmund, Solidworks certifies Nvidia Quadro cards for their software. This card would work just fine, but just know that if you are designing assemblies with 20,000 parts and you do a high res render, it may run slower based on the fact that this card has fewer cores. But overall, this is a solid card and would have no problem running the software. **Q: What is the actual dimensons of the card itself? I want to know so I can pin down a case.** A: 279 x 140 x 36Source: http://www.pcgameware.co.uk/reviews/graphics-cards/msi-gtx-980-gaming-4g-graphics-card-review/ **Q: I have 3 monitors w/HDMI inputs. Can I get 3 "displayport 1.2" to HDMI cable to work with this card correctly and get optimal performance, what cable** A: To answer your question, it will work! But HDMI inherently has its limitation of 30fps so performance might not be as expected, gaming in 60fps. Ideally you want Display Port 1.2, 1.1 does not support 1080p with 60 fps AFAIK, so that you can get most out of your card. **Q: Would these two cards be better in SLI mode than the ASUS Graphics Cards STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5 or EVGA GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card?** A: in SLI mode, these MSi cards will beat a single or double asus strix gpu. they will also beat a single EVGA 980 SC, but not a double EVGA 980 SC because the EVGA has a higher clock speed. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good enough. *by A***I on Reviewed in India on 4 November 2020* Good enough for this price level. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Speed *by C***I on Reviewed in the United States on 12 December 2018* Speeds my computer ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ コスパ良くゲームしたい人にはオヌヌメ *by Y***U on Reviewed in Japan on 29 September 2021* pcのスペック悪い人でも普通に60FPSは出ると思う結構おすすめ ## Frequently Bought Together - MSI GAMING GeForce GTX 980 4GB OC DirectX 12 VR READY (GTX 980 GAMING 4G) - Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ White Certified PSU, Continuous Power with 120mm Ultra Quiet Cooling Fan, ATX 12V V2.3/EPS 12V Active PFC Power Supply PS-SPD-0500NPCWUS-W - AMD Ryzen 5 4500 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/619712645-msi-nvidia-gtx-980-4-gb-pci-express-256-bit](https://www.desertcart.us/products/619712645-msi-nvidia-gtx-980-4-gb-pci-express-256-bit) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
