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.

When any GPU vendor releases a brand-new series that's more powerful, more power-efficient, and has more features, that alone shouldn't be enough to “wow” us – that's progression, and we've seen similar examples of it time and time again. But Maxwell is...

When NVIDIA launched the first Maxwell cards earlier this year, we knew that we would be in for a treat with their latest architecture. Though just a fragment of the performance of what their eventual high-end cards would be, NVIDIA's first Maxwell cards...
Maxwell may not be the revolutionary upgrade everyone was looking for, or wanted. The current process node of 28nm is still holding GPUs back at the moment, the next node, 20nm just isn't ready. However, it is incredible what NVIDIA has done at the 28nm n...

Abstract: 2014 has been a strange year for graphics chips. Many of the GeForce and Radeon graphics cards currently on the market are based on GPUs over two years old. Rather than freshening up their entire silicon lineups top-to-bottom like in the past, AMD and Nvi...
