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...
Abstract: The Nvidia GTX 980 is here—as in, Nvidia has announced it, you'll be able to buy one soon, and it's also physically here in the PC Gamer offices...
Abstract: Ah yes, welcome to a reference series product review that a lot of you fine ladies and gentlemen have been waiting on for a long time. Would it be released, wouldn't it..? Delays at the manufacturing nodes in terms of fabrication process and die-shrinks; ...
Fastest single-chip card available, Runs cooler and quieter than comparable AMD cards, 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
Nvidia's high-end, Maxwell-based card 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 hotter Radeon R9 ...
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...
Crushes AMD Radeon R9 290X, Outstanding DX11 video games performance, Supports MFAA, FXAA, and TXAA, Supports Voxel Global Illumination (VXGI), Tripledisplay and 3D Vision Surround support, Cooling fan operates at very quiet acoustic levels, Features HDMI
Very expensive enthusiast product
My ratings begin with performance, where the $549 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 competes against the rest of the market in an unfairly matched comparison. With the launch of GTX 980, NVIDIA will discontinue GTX 780 Ti, 780, and 770. Gamers will most likely com...

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...
