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
We were surprised to find clock throttling below the boost clock with GeForce GTX 980 SLI reference video cards. The performance is still good, but you are definitely not getting the most out of SLI performance with two reference video cards. We fully rec...

Welcome to today's episode of "Some Conclusions Write Themselves". Naturally this is an expensive arrangement. Any time you're running two GPUs, even middle tier ones, you're dealing with an investment. Investing in two flagship graphics cards is not only...
Abstract: It's been over two years since our last PCI-Express scaling article. Not much has happened since then in terms of slot technology and bandwidth. Just like two years ago, almost everybody is using PCI-Express X16 3.0, and while Intel's Enthusiast Platform...
Have I been happy with my Radeon R9 290X CrossFire system? Absolutely. A new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 SLI setup will easily remind you what you would like changed about it however. The GTX 980 cards are so much cooler, and so much quieter than the 290X card...
The end result of this evaluation is a bit shocking, a bit unexpected. We thought we were going to be able to conclude praising GeForce GTX 980 SLI as the hands down best 4K gaming experience to date. However, our testing has revealed that this is not nec...
Summing up our today's tests, we must admit that the Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 is a noteworthy innovation which serves as a good replacement not only for the GeForce GTX 780 but also for the faster GTX 780 Ti. At its default clock rates, the new card is fast...

Multi-GPU gaming has always, and will likely always, present more problems to gamers than any single GPU solution will. With a single, fast GPU you will nearly always get 100% of your paid-for performance while going down the road of SLI or CrossFire alwa...
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...
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: 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...
