The high-end, Maxwell-based Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 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 hott...
Looking at the specifications and test results of the GTX 980, my initial excitement for the new flagship card from NVIDIA seems to be well founded. This Maxwell GM204-based card uses the same 28nm manufacturing process found in previous generation Kepler...

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...
