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.
This was "just" a reference GeForce GTX 980 and look what kind of overclocking we achieved. The fact of the GTX 980 is that it has some amazing performance potential. We got an average a 25% performance boost from its default clock speeds. That is a subst...
Abstract: Since we have a reference version of the 290X, a very capable PowerColor overclocked card, we are going to need to run it with extra voltage and with the fan at 100% to prevent throttling when it is overclocked +150MHz to 1150MHz core and +200MHz to 1450M...
Alright, a good week after Nvidia released their GeForce GTX 970 and 980 products we now are ready to show you a proper and not rushed our 980 SLI review. At the request of you guys, triple SLI results have been added. You have been able to notice that u...
Abstract: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 came out of nowhere, with the kind of specifications that were doing rounds in the press ahead of its launch, with its $549 pricing, and with the "Maxwell" GPU architecture not really getting a star-studded debut with the GTX 750 T...
Fastest single-chip card available. Runs cooler and quieter, and requires much less power, than comparable AMD cards.
Requires two six-pin power connectors. 4K gaming on some games at maximum settings will still require multiple cards
The high-end, Maxwell-based Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 delivers the best performance available from a single-chip gaming graphics card to date, while sipping much less power than the current competition. Just as nice: Its price is competitive with AMD's hott...
Looking at the specifications and test results of the GTX 980, my initial excitement for the new flagship card from NVIDIA seems to be well founded. This Maxwell GM204-based card uses the same 28nm manufacturing process found in previous generation Kepler...
The GeForce GTX 980 comes with 2048 CUDA cores and 4GB of GDDR5 memory, and it is based on new Maxwell GM204 GPU. The GeForce GTX 780 Ti comes with 2880 CUDA cores and 3GB of GDDR5 memory, and it is based on the Kepler GK110B GPU.Although their performanc...
If you had asked me to guess how the GTX 980 would perform just going off the basic specification listing I wouldn't have placed it up even near the top of our charts. With fewer CUDA Cores and a smaller memory controller I get the impression that Nvidi...

Chris Burns NVIDIA's Maxwell age of graphics processing begins with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 cards. What you'll see below is a brief look at the higher-powered of these two cards, tracking the performance of the NVIDIA-made reference...
It has been 16 months since NVIDIA released the GeForce GTX 680 and the Kepler microarchitecture and plenty has changed over the the past 1.5 years in the gaming industry. We are entering the era of 4K gaming and virtual reality gaming looks like it will ...
