- Today we're taking a look at the Inno3D iChill X4 Air Boss Herculez GTX 980 Ti Graphics Card. With a name like that, this pretty hard to find GPU must be a beast right? Well let's take a look at it and see what it can do.
Specs:
Intel Core i5 8400
16GB DDR4 3200MHz DDR4
GTX 980Ti
Corsair TX650W PSU
Thanks for watching :)
I thought this was going to be a quad SLI card.
Same
Me too man
same here :D
If only... If only.
Ssssssssame
If only it was a quad SLI card...then again, I wouldn't want a thermonuclear bomb in my PC.
In that case, don't buy nVidia cards ;)

Looking at things we probably couldn’t afford new and wouldn’t buy second hand now....
I love the inclusion of the 1440 and 4k benchmarks
That *Inno3D iChill Hercules x4 Ultra Air Boss GTX 980ti haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHH and Breathe* has a nice name, prolly why it's rare.
Inno3D GeForce GTX 970 "iChill Herculez X4 Air Boss Ultra" is the title of the card I bought from Overclockers here in the UK (didn't get the promised Haribo though). The only graphics card I have ever bought new.
@KONRAD i never bought a second hand gpu but make sure it isnt a mining card then i think you'll be fine
@KONRAD Sorry for the late reply, for some reason I'm not getting notifications of them. My experience of buying second hand cards has been very good, as I mentioned the 970 is the only card I have ever bought new.
Just recently I bought a GTX 780Ti on eBay for £32. It was sold as spares or repair as it was artifacting during use. On getting the card I took off the cooler to find that the thermal paste was only covering half the GPU die and the stuff that was there was dry as a bone.Cleaned it off and replaced the thermal paste and the card is back up and running just as it should, gives my media PC a nice little boost so that it can actually play games at a decent frame rate now.
That's the danger with second hand cards though. The fix for the 780Ti was easy but I could have just as easily bought a card that was broken beyond repair.
Of course the chances of getting a broken card get greater the older they get, the chances of the RTX 2080Ti being broken are slim but still there. In short you have to decide if you can afford to lose the money you spend on the card if it doesn't work, a lot of times getting your money back on a used purchase is not easy.
@@CoMpLeTeBeNJ what is the problem with mining cards (if the capacitors are not in a bad state) i mean i can just say my 1080 ti runned for 2 years on 4k every day around 2-6 hours on 70+ degrees and still runs like the first day (asus strix model) and if you compare that to a cheap mining card wich was used for 6 months its not a big difference (everything is still fine even temperatures still the same without thermal paste changed just fans and heatsink cleaned every 3 months)

Geforce 980Ti cards are known for their great overclockability. It would be interesting how far you can push that beast.
980 ti is the best ti by far, in terms of oc headroom. my 980 ti gained 25-30% performance going from ~1200 mhz stock to ~1500 mhz oc. my current 1080 ti gained only 5-10% or so.. with 3d clocks of 2000ish
@@Dr.WhetFarts Yeah I still have my old 980TIs somewhere in a closet back in their boxes (forgot what brand). Overclocking on those were so easy and hell, you could get so much out of them. Currently still running my 1080TI FTW3 and can't touch it... only a little bit but I wouldn't do anything. Concerning temps with the stock cooler, Metro Exodus makes it peak at nearly 90C on ultra (1080p in my tests). Card gets crazy hot on certain games so I don't want to touch it unless I decide to watercool everything again.
@@michaelbeleut6480 undervolt. you can get lower temps also i forget this is 3 years ago so u probably have a beast of a card by now
I can't get enough of that tulip table-cloth
I remember I used to have this card and its insane. It goes all the way up to 1600mhz on air with the reference pcb design. And this thing was 100bucks cheaper than a strix

I have a EVGA GTX 780 6GB, kind of a rare card, no real benchmarks on it, let me know if you’re interested in it.
I've never seen benchmarks on one of those. I have a 3GB version but always wondered how the 6GB ones compared.
6gb? Damn
A 6GB GTX780 will not have any noticeable improvements over the 3GB variant until you give it workloads that utilize more VRAM than the 3GB unit can handle.
The common use case for these cards is putting these cards in SLI in order to drive high resolutions, where VRAM bottlenecking is much more common.
@@Somerandomegamer well I can tell you know that my GTX 780ti has only 3GB and I am struggling to run rdr2 on the settings that I know the 6GB card non TI will handle with ease.
Ever heard of GTX 1060 5gb
(Heard it was only selling in China)

I still have, but no longer in active use... a version of this in the GTX 980 Herculez X4 Air boss Ultra... a superb card, nice clock speeds and on avg. that extra fan helped cool the core a few more degrees than my Gainward GTX980 and other cards. Superb Cooling. I remember having to modify and remove some of my 3.5" drive bays in one of my mid tower cases because of the length of this monster.
your GPU collection must be getting interesting.
It's by far the most badass looking card i've ever seen in my life!
yeah! it looks like some badass armor from mass effect or something!
I remember that card! Always wanted it but could never afford it.
holy shit you covered my card! well it's actually a reference 980ti that i bolted the cooler off my dead 980 herculez x4 onto. the cooler on this thing is insane, my card never goes above 70° even at 1480mhz, and that's with a pretty much silent fan curve. the only bad thing is that the VRM fan is not speed controlled, and i don't have the equipment to check whether the VRM is cool enough without it.
(btw this is a reference PCB, which is why i think the x4 model is preferable. the VRM on the reference 980ti isn't spectacular, a bit of extra cooling is definitely not a bad idea)
Revisit this beast with a clean up, some new thermal paste and a juicy overclock...
ultra settings don't always look better, and are often poorly optimized for the graphics cards drivers.
They also often add extra clutter that ads more anti-aliasing type artifacts.
Cool card. This video also shows that if you are building a new PC (which many will be with ryzen 3xxx upcoming release) you should go with the MINIMUM CPU of 8 core, preferably with ht/smt. You can see here 6 cores already being maxed out and there are already games that use up to 12 threads.
that's not a core problem, that's an issue with FC new dawn and specifically the 6c/6t intel parts. there are very few titles still that show a difference between a 2600x and a 2700x
I'm glad you're testing at higher resolutions! Keep up the good work. I like to see older games or games with optimised (i.e. not Ultra) settings being tested
You legit find every collector card I didnt know I needed
inno3d does a really good job with the herculez cards. i've got the 1070 ichill x4 and it's a beast core clock over 2000mhz out of the box without touching anything and stays under 70°C and imo the pascal cards look better then the maxwell
just picked up the non x4 version for 130€
GTX 980Ti X4 Graphics Card
Nice.
Burh
Yes
Yes
I have the iChill X3 GTX 1080 and I can say with confidence that Inno3D is very underrated
If power rangers had a graphics card
I have the Inno3D X3 gtx 1080 Ti, they did another X4 model of the 1080 Ti as well, it looks better than this one did, but I still prefer the look of just the 3 fans by a long way!
the 4th fan is actually not just for flair, it's mounted on a heatsink which is connected to the VRM by a heatpipe. the inno3d cards use reference PCBs, and the VRMs on especially the reference maxwell cards are not that amazing, so the extra cooling is definitely a good idea. they don't get much airflow from the rather slow spinning fans through the massive heatsinks.
givemeajackson wouldn’t the 4 th fan also be a big help in an sli setup too? That’s what I always thought the side mounted fans were for.
@@kennedymoreiras3054 not really, it's mounted on a metal plate. The 4th fan doesn't blow any air onto the main beatsinks, it just cools the VRM. Also this is a three slot card, which is less than ideal for sli
givemeajackson oh really, huh that seems like a waste of a 4th fan then.
@@kennedymoreiras3054 really isn't the fans on this card spin very slow, and the VRM would not get much cooling otherwise. since this is a reference PCB some decent VRM cooling is very welcome for overclocking. they basically got around designing a custom PCB just by building a smart cooler
it is nice to know that the gtx 970 and the 980 are still good in 2019 because the gtx 970 and the 980 are my personal favourites from the gtx series.
Rocking the evga 980 classified. Still great 1440p high settings crusher
that single fan would look cool with rgb lights
Ichill after benchmark: "help!!! iburn iburn" !!!
I was literally looking at one of these on eBay the other day! 😂
I remember when you had 70k subs and now you have over 260k. Hopefully you hit 300k by the end of the year
It really impresses me that you're doing such effort to find this rare cards. That's effort man! Thank You. 👍🔥
hey, i'd love to let you have a play with my weird card. HD 7870 XT. technically a tahiti GPU.
Couldn't you have disconnected the fan maybe to see if there is any noticeable change in temperatures?
This card looks so nice. This 4 fan design looks very cool
damn bro your posting like a beast lately!!! keep em coming!!
Always keep the packaging, it's good form.
I thought the x4 stands for "4-slots-wide"
Oh, Herculez, Herculez!
Another good video! Looking forward to any you do without speaking :)
4 yo card and it is still very viable for modern games
kinda nice to see this old relic managing to run even the newest game just fine on 1080p-1440p
also I wonder which clock it ran out of the box since you could get many cards near the 1.5 GHz if not more
usually giving really good boost in performance vs stock cards.
Well the GTX 1080 is 3 years old.
My loved my old 980 ti ... until it became the temperature of the sun
Even though I was firmly a Radeon guy back in those days, I'm forced to admire the 980ti (and the 970) as they can still rock and roll, even today.
They were made to be good for while unlike 20 series cards with rtx 2080 being as good or little bit better than previous gtx 1080ti
Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 here, competing with a GTX 970 is quite the same now. The GTX 980 non-Ti however beats it by 15-20%, but you have got to realize those 2 were more expensive cards than mine. Also beats GTX 780 and at launch it wasn't near it or it's price.
I love this brand, I have a 970 with same cooler and shiet. It stays cool and quiet, even at full load.
Also, It has been 4 years since i got it. Changed its paste lately, but no problems with the fans either.
Subbed since 30k glad to see u growing

Unusual Beasts and Where to Find Them
Id love to see this card pimped out with atleast liquid cooling and possibly even shunt modding. You should tear it down and see if they added anything extra to the PCB to make it “extreme” they probably did.
nope, these are bone stock reference PCBs. i don't think there are any inno3d cards with custom PCBs, they just focused on really good cooling for both core and VRM. which makes them great for watercooling cause you can just slap a reference 980ti block on them. but for extreme overclocking this thing would simply blow up. the gm200 pulls up to 1000 watts under liquid nitrogen, and the reference VRM won't handle that. you'd need something like a galax HOF, msi Lightning or evga kingpin for that.
givemeajackson didnt know that, I guess the card looks better than it actually is. Real shame tbh.
@@Iamnicknow eh, they were quite cheap when they came out, and aircooled they performed just as well as any other 980ti. i'd say it was a smart move not to invest in a better PCB and just throw all the budget at the cooler, for 90% of people that resulted in a better card for less money than for example the asus strix models. but for XOC these were definitely not the right models
My man had to catch breath for 5 seconds after finishing the gpu's name , might've as well summoned some demon as a side effect ...
Idk why but I love these videos.

Why on Earth would you go for a Radeon VII? It presented no real advantages over the RTX 2080 when it released, apart from its VRAM. And I'm an AMD guy. Do you plan on switching to Navi?
Kytes93 why lol I have 2080 msi sc same price much better card

That Inno3d is one of the coolest running cards for its power/performance by far compared to other manufacturers. I'm happy to have it in my collection.

What don't you overclock any of the gpu's that you test, this card looks like it would be a good overclocker
@SkilledRebuilds well i assume the point of this specific model is better thermals to achieve a higher stable overclock. since this model is in limited quantity, just googling regular 980 ti overclocks wouldnt truly show what this one can do.
In the case of this card, and the regular 980 and GTX 970 from Inno3D that share the same cooler, they come factory overclocked really quite aggressively. You might be able to get a little more performance out of them but nothing that is worth speaking of.
That card looks like an early 2000s pimped hummer H2. In other words it's an eyesore.
Your voice and manner is great and I like the way you test - thank you!
To be fair, any gpu can be considered "worth it" depending on price and use case. That said, some gpus will be more worth it than others, depending on price and use case. Prices can vary wildly based on what particular region of the world you're in. In the US for me, the Fury X is a more "worth it" card. 980 TIs sell for around $170 to $220 USD depending on the specific model. The Fury X sells for $100 to $150 USD. I paid $140 USD for mine two years ago and I've been happy with it ever since. Stays pretty cool after the application of liquid metal and a second fan for push/pull configuration for the radiator and preforms very respectably in 1440p despite the 4GB of vram. I'd imagine if it had more vram, it'd easily monster the 980 TI but it also would have been significantly more expensive. I did try overclcoking and undervolting it but its honestly not worth it. Leaving it stock seems to be the best thing for it. The HBM is pretty darn maxed out and upping the core clock doesn't really seem to have any real noticeable effect. I mean, sure, in firestrike it makes the score get bigger but in games, I really don't notice the one or two fps that extra 50mhz provides.
The only two things I don't really like about it is the coil whine under heavy loads and the awkward loops of spaghetti that are the tubes for my H110i GTX and the AIO on the Fury X. That second one really isn't much of an issue, at least I don't have any ketchup and mustard colored cables in there. That would be really gross to look at.
That electricity bill and the and of year tho....

980Ti might be 4 years old but still a wise choice to game on pure 1080P 60FPS max setting or low if you prefer to farm some frames. maybe it's a bit old but still can keep up with the big boys.
i still consider it on the high end side of things, mostly because even a gtx970 still holds its own just fine.

Got the 1060 version, without the extra fan. A GTX 1060 Jeststream from Palit scores 8.2 on Steam VR test, The Inno 3D scores a crazy 8.9. Never visited them much as a relatively obscure brand, but they game pretty hard :)
they're a subsidiary of colorful, who mainly operate in the asian market. i guess the styling also speaks to that
Pretty sure the reason the GTX 980 and the GTX 980Ti are in different leagues is because the 980Ti is basically a Titan X Maxwell card with less memory, meaning it has a different GPU. Great video by the way!
980 is gm204 whereas 980ti is gm200. the 980 has 5.2 billion transistors, the ti has 8 billion. it is a very different beast to the 980, the 980ti had the biggest GPU die ever until the titan V came along

4790k@4.6Ghz here... I get 2100 in Cinebench R20
RODRIGO FILHO The 4790k is still bloody fast, for a 5 year old CPU thats pretty good! It does a good job firing a gameserver.
I still run a 4690k oc'd to 4.6 and even that just stomps the games
my z97x soc just died and i "upgraded" to a ryzen 3600. a slight difference in fps but really not much, 15% at the most
Can you add section can it run crysis? I mean cmon we all know that crysis was game to bench your pc, so gpu intensive game, add original Crysis or Crysis 3, and crysis is not a game to run at medium, even if it makes 10 fps it needs to be set at ultra
Amazing to see that a GPU from 2015 is able to play modern games on 4k at reasonable settings and good framerates

1070 levels of performance for under 150 dollars seems like a decent reason to buy one to me... Depending on the prices of course.
This is such a super cool design. I've never seen these before. Always fancied the 980ti's. Such incredible cards.
so you have a 4k monitor but your best specs are i5 8400 and 1070? wow , I'm like the opposite : i7 8700k RTX 2080 but a 1050p monitor xD

Should have paired it with with your Ryzen chip as it was a massive CPU bottleneck

I have the X3 version and it's a already a beast, I think it's the best cooling for "stock pcb" card, and I got lucky for the core, easy overclocking to 1560MHz with only 1.21v
