Apologies for being 'that guy' but I'm pretty new to the whole mining thing, just prodding it with my home PC right now to see how various pools and miners work and such.

I browsed through a number of pages on this thread and was unable to find any numbers for a GTX980 4GB (obviously most have moved on to the 10xx series by now). Was wondering if anyone could give some insight on my numbers and if they seem reasonable.

Code:

This is with what seems to be my max stable overclock.

When optimizing for efficiency I seem to get around 362 Sol/s and 2.24 Sol/W, however electricity costs aren't a concern for me at the moment.

Just looking wondering if these numbers seem acceptable for the card, appreciate the help in advance.
