Compatibility, service & archival notes
Specs refer to GTX 980 Ti reference specification; partner cards may use non-reference power/cooling.
Inspect cooler, 6+8 pin sockets and VRAM thermals; verify card ID and VBIOS. Compare exact dimensions/PSU requirement for the AIB card.
- Check signaling, slot keying, lane width, power pinout, board/module dimensions, case clearance, airflow and PSU requirements for the exact specimen.
- Use drivers supporting its device ID and target OS. Preserve original installer and firmware copies, and record their versions before changes.
- Do not energize boards with corrosion, cracks, damaged connectors, obstructed cooling or suspected shorts; document condition before bench testing.
