Physical SLI bridge remains
Can get hot when overclocked (reference design)
Not the fullfat
Performance Maxwell
Won't manage 60fps at highquality 4K
No Nvidiabundled games
Stock cooler thermal throttles a little
Loses a bit of ground at higher resolutions
Demanding games still aren't smooth at 4K
AMD-based competitors offer better bang for your buck
Doesn't set new standards for high-end performance
Still using 28nm process.
A little slower than R9 390X
Strong competition from two AMD cards
You would still need two of them for high frame rates at 4K resolutions.
Abstract: Over the last few generations of GPUs, the graphics card race between AMD and Nvidia has become an increasingly fine-tuned game of one-upmanship. Both companies have been turning out carefully targeted products that often straddle a fine line between slot...
With most AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB offerings sitting at over $500, the $549 price point that NVIDIA has set is very aggressive. For a long time, we always saw AMD being the value based model offering the best bang for buck. The NVIDIA cards tend to always ...
great minimum frame rate, midrange pricing, topnotch performance, superb overclocking, lower power consumption
Still using 28nm process
We liked The efficiency of the new Maxwell GM 204 GPU is the most striking thing, in both the GTX 980 and its GTX 970 brethren. This is essentially a mid-range class GPU - generationally equivalent to the GTX 770 - but it's able to best the very top of th...
Powerful enough for 1440p gaming at high quality settings, Low power consumption and noise, Looks great
None
Nvidia and AMD's rivalry continues with no slowdown in sight, and gamers benefit the most as prices drop, bundles become fatter and new levels of performance become available at reasonable prices. Nvidia had the lead in terms of single-GPU performance wit...
Looking at the gaming scores, the Nvidia GTX 980 is clearly ahead of its contemporaries. The results on the 4K display are impressive and the GTX 980 with its 4GB GDDR5 memory is more than enough to handle a single 4K display with ease. Sure it takes a hi...
The GeForce GTX 980 seems to perform better than every other card that we've tested so far on medium settings. On Ultra, it performs at the same level that factory overclocked editions of the GTX 780 Ti does. Computational benchmarks puts the Maxwell arch...

Blazing fast, Beautiful industrial metal design, Amazing new technology features, Low Power consumption
Some more VRAM would be great, DSR is Maxwell only
With an arsenal of graphical features coming up such as better ShadowPlay recording and streaming as well as out of the box Dynamic Super Resolution superscaling, the Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 does not just pack in bigger, better, less power hungry tech but ...
Excellent performance per watt, Great overclocker, Great value for the price
Stock cooler design has room for improvement, Only 4 of 5 outputs can be used at a time
The GTX 980 is a brilliant card. Its performance improves on not just the GK 104 parts it's derived from but also matches or betters the GK110 parts like the 780Ti that we rated so highly. And this is done with much less power than those cards.While the c...

Still the KingNVIDIA stands on top once more with the powerful GTX 980.Byline: By Din One of the best things about computer hardware is the highly competitive world of graphic cards. Dominated by two companies – NVIDIA and AMD, the two always try to one u...
All in all, this is one powerhouse of a graphics card, and the title of most advanced definitely will not come cheap. However, for those who wants to play all the newest games effortlessly on the most updated graphic card to date, then the NVIDIA GeForce...
