From the manufacturer
Cool performance for heated action 
Get almost all the performance that the currently fastest standard PCIe 4.0 offers.¹
Rapid speed and high energy efficiency 
PCIe 4.0 speed maximized
40% and 55% faster random read/write speeds than 980 PRO – up to 1400K/1550K IOPS, while sequential read/write speeds up to 7450/6900 MB/s reach near max performance of PCIe 4.0. Fly high in gaming, video and 3D editing, data analysis, and more.² ³ ⁴
Breakthrough power efficiency
The 990 PRO uses less power with up to 50% improved performance per Watt over 980 PRO. This low-power design makes max PCIe 4.0 performance possible with optimal power efficiency.⁵
Smart thermal solution
The slim heatsink dissipates heat to prevent performance drops from overheating. Get stable heat control, and minimal fan noise for heavy-graphic gaming. The thin body is compatible with PlayStation 5, desktops, and laptops meeting the PCI-SIG D8 standard.⁶
Gaming the way it should be 
The optimal gameplay experience
A more than 55% improvement in random performance enables faster loads for ultimate gaming realism on PS5 and DirectStorage PC games. The heatsink’s futuristic design adds style to heat control, now with RGB lights.⁷ ⁸
