The editors didn't like
Requires two six-pin power connectors. 4K gaming on some games at maximum settings will still require multiple cards
Not a huge upgrade from current gen outgoing flagship
Price makes this a upper end model and outside the mass market
Requires two six-pin power connectors
4K gaming on some games at maximum settings will still require multiple cards
Repetitive Side quests may get tedious
Linear gameplay at the end of the game
Story issues with pacing and confusing
Very expensive enthusiast product
Performance increase over GTX 780 Ti not very big
High overclocking potential doesn't turn into that much real-life performance

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...
Looking at the gaming scores, the Nvidia GTX 980 is clearly ahead of its contemporaries. The results on the 4K display are impressive and the GTX 980 with its 4GB GDDR5 memory is more than enough to handle a single 4K display with ease. Sure it takes a hi...
Excellent performance per watt, Great overclocker, Great value for the price
Stock cooler design has room for improvement, Only 4 of 5 outputs can be used at a time
The GTX 980 is a brilliant card. Its performance improves on not just the GK 104 parts it's derived from but also matches or betters the GK110 parts like the 780Ti that we rated so highly. And this is done with much less power than those cards.While the c...

Blazing fast, Beautiful industrial metal design, Amazing new technology features, Low Power consumption
Some more VRAM would be great, DSR is Maxwell only
With an arsenal of graphical features coming up such as better ShadowPlay recording and streaming as well as out of the box Dynamic Super Resolution superscaling, the Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 does not just pack in bigger, better, less power hungry tech but ...
The GeForce GTX 980 seems to perform better than every other card that we've tested so far on medium settings. On Ultra, it performs at the same level that factory overclocked editions of the GTX 780 Ti does. Computational benchmarks puts the Maxwell arch...
