The editors didn't like
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: The GM204 GPU (which lies behind both the 980 and the 970) is the culmination of a process that started many months ago, with the GTX 750 Ti. As an overall package, we didn't really rate the 750 Ti. While it generated a very impressive amount of speed giv...

What makes a good graphics card is primarily its speed. The GTX 980 has that base covered, of that there can be no doubt. It took apart the overclocked AMD R9-290X with relative ease. So much so we had to do a double take when looking at the results. Obvi...
Abstract: With these chart lists we're publishing benchmark results from recent graphics cards with three different resolutions: FullHD, 1440p and UltraHD. In all cases we've set details to maximum and we're listing minimum framerates as well as maximum framerates....

There is far more of a swagger within Nvidia these days and the combined boost of having its Tegra TK1 SoC in the next Nexus device as well as the serious efficiency and performance of its new Maxwell-based GPUs are surely the catalysts. And it's right t...

Nvidia's introduction of the GTX 980 and GTX 970 graphics cards redefines the high-end GeForce positioning for the next few months. Based on the premise that energy efficiency and die space are just as important as in-game frames per second, the new GPUs...
Benchmarking three or four new high-end cards always makes for some pretty special results in synthetic benchmarks like 3DMark. This time it's even more special though. Previous high-end cards could be used in 3-way and 4-way SLI, but that never resulte...
Two new GPUs in the new Maxwell line are revealed today - the flagship GTX 980, retailing for £430/€452/$549 and its little brother, the GTX 970 weighing it at a much more competitive £259/€270/$329. The pricing on the top-end card effectively sees it rep...
Abstract: Today, Nvidia introduces the GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970, two new high-end cards of the Maxwell generation. The GeForce GTX 750 and 750 Ti , which were introduced a few months ago, also belong to this generation. We extensively tested both new cards on ...

Multi-GPU systems seemed to have gained a negative reputation in the past for bugs, glitches and a lack of performance scaling. I myself have never seen anything to support that argument and today looking at these GTX 980s in SLI it is clear to see that s...
