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: NVIDIA introduced Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA) when Maxwell launched on September 18th of 2014 . We talked about MFAA and what it would bring to gaming on this page of our evaluation. However, at launch, MFAA was not quite ready for prime time. It was to...

NVIDIA's new Multi-Frame Sampled Anti-Aliasing is finally coming out, two full months behind the release and reveal of the GTX 980 and the MFAA technology in general. Despite that delay, the current shipping driver only supports MFAA on twenty PC games an...

Abstract: At NVIDIA Game 24 a few weeks ago, they announced their next line of desktop video cards. The big bad of the show was the GeForce GTX 980. NVIDIA was kind enough to send us a card, so let's take a look at the latest and greatest from NVIDIA.The GeForce GT...
We were surprised to find clock throttling below the boost clock with GeForce GTX 980 SLI reference video cards. The performance is still good, but you are definitely not getting the most out of SLI performance with two reference video cards. We fully rec...

Welcome to today's episode of "Some Conclusions Write Themselves". Naturally this is an expensive arrangement. Any time you're running two GPUs, even middle tier ones, you're dealing with an investment. Investing in two flagship graphics cards is not only...
Abstract: It's been over two years since our last PCI-Express scaling article. Not much has happened since then in terms of slot technology and bandwidth. Just like two years ago, almost everybody is using PCI-Express X16 3.0, and while Intel's Enthusiast Platform...
Have I been happy with my Radeon R9 290X CrossFire system? Absolutely. A new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 SLI setup will easily remind you what you would like changed about it however. The GTX 980 cards are so much cooler, and so much quieter than the 290X card...
The end result of this evaluation is a bit shocking, a bit unexpected. We thought we were going to be able to conclude praising GeForce GTX 980 SLI as the hands down best 4K gaming experience to date. However, our testing has revealed that this is not nec...
Summing up our today's tests, we must admit that the Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 is a noteworthy innovation which serves as a good replacement not only for the GeForce GTX 780 but also for the faster GTX 780 Ti. At its default clock rates, the new card is fast...

Multi-GPU gaming has always, and will likely always, present more problems to gamers than any single GPU solution will. With a single, fast GPU you will nearly always get 100% of your paid-for performance while going down the road of SLI or CrossFire alwa...
