Great performance, Very impressive energy efficiency, Excellent architecture, Overclocks well, Better than the GTX 780 Ti in every regard
Not the fullfat, performance Maxwell, Won't manage 60fps at highquality 4K, No Nvidiabundled games
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...
Without doubt, the GTX 980 is a great graphics card. By and large, it is unmatched in the performance arena, and there's certainly nothing that even comes close to it at this end of the market when you look at performance per watt. It is also very well cr...
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...

Unrivaled power efficiency, Efficient performance, High quality construction: now includes a backplate, Cheaper than its predecessor's launch price, Improved display output options, Huge overclocking potential, Video memory upgrade – now 4GB, Improved com
Stock cooler thermal throttles a little, Loses a bit of ground at higher resolutions,
Pricing (accurate at the time of writing)The Nvidia GTX 980 has an MSRP of $549.99. Warranty services will vary depending on which graphics card brand you buy from. UK pricing is from £429.99.Summary There's no question that Nvidia's GTX 980 is a worthy s...
power efficiency is unmatched in the high end, 4GB GDDR5 memory, masses of overclocking headroom, quiet, Nvidia reference cards look great, class leading performance at the price, launch price of £429.99, £100less than many GTX780Ti prices
You would still need two of them for high frame rates at 4K resolutions.
When I first analysed Nvidia's GTX750ti back in March I was supremely impressed with the Maxwell architecture. This was a card that when overclocked could keep up with AMD's HD7850. When you realised it was consuming half the power at the socket and didn'...

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...
Abstract: Nvidia introduced its newest graphics architecture, code-named Maxwell, about seven months ago in the mid-range GeForce GTX 750 and 750 Ti. While those cards don't deliver the high performance of a flagship gaming rig, they introduce unheard of energy eff...
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 ...
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...
