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

Abstract: To be fair though, this isn't our first experience with the Maxwell architecture. With the release of the GeForce GTX 750 Ti and its GM107 GPU, NVIDIA put the industry on watch and let us all ponder if they could possibly bring such a design to a high end...
Abstract: Earlier this month NVIDIA launched the GeForce GTX 970 and GTX 980 as their highest-end offerings based on their Maxwell architecture. Since the GTX 750 series debut I have been anxious to see Maxwell succeed Kepler in the high-end space and finally last...

Abstract: It's been a months-long journey of GTX 800, then GTX 900 rumors, broken embargoes, questions, and anticipation. The GTX 750 Ti saw the debut of NVidia's Maxwell architecture almost 7 months ago, making for one of the first times the company has ever unvei...

The GTX 980 is a graphics card that can handle any modern game you throw at it, and it will be interesting to see how near future releases such as Grand Theft Auto V and Assassin's Creed Unity will take to this card's robustness...
So here we are at the end of another NVIDIA launch review and one thing is quite evident: the GTX 980 has done a nearly perfect job in emulating the GTX 680’s high points and adds more than a few highlights of its own. Like its spiritual predecessor, the ...
Overclocking (damn), Power consumption, New technologies, Cooling, Low noise, Good looks, Pricing
Sideways move if you have a GTX 780 Ti
And there you have it. As a whole the GTX 980 is a pretty interesting piece of hardware. On several fronts it is truly an amazing piece of hardware. Visually the reference GTX 980 maintains the industrial look that works so well with just about any build,...
Beautiful build quality, Noticeable performance improvements, Incredible power efficiency gains
Competition from GTX 970, Competion from Radeon GPUs, Cooler loud under constant load
The GTX 980 is the high-end card in the newly announced and soon-to-be-more-widely-released Nvidia line-up, for the latest quarter of 2014 and the first half of 2015; there will be an even more powerful twin-GPU card inevitably turn up, and more mid-range...
Abstract: Over the last few generations of GPUs, the graphics card race between AMD and Nvidia has become an increasingly fine-tuned game of one-upmanship. Both companies have been turning out carefully targeted products that often straddle a fine line between slot...
With most AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB offerings sitting at over $500, the $549 price point that NVIDIA has set is very aggressive. For a long time, we always saw AMD being the value based model offering the best bang for buck. The NVIDIA cards tend to always ...
great minimum frame rate, midrange pricing, topnotch performance, superb overclocking, lower power consumption
Still using 28nm process
We liked The efficiency of the new Maxwell GM 204 GPU is the most striking thing, in both the GTX 980 and its GTX 970 brethren. This is essentially a mid-range class GPU - generationally equivalent to the GTX 770 - but it's able to best the very top of th...
