NVIDIA GTX 980 Review and BENCHMARK
1After some work i decided to upload this video to compare the EVGA Nvidia GTX 980 against the previous generation 780. The results are outstanding and the upgrade is solid. Don't get me wrong the 780 still holds up to any game you throw at it including Grand Theft Auto V at very high settings.
Here are the specs for both graphics cards.
GTX 980
Base Clock: 1266 MHZ
Boost Clock: 1367 MHz
Memory Clock: 7010 MHz Effective
CUDA Cores: 2048
Bus Type: PCI-E 3.0
Memory Detail: 4096MB GDDR5
Memory Bit Width: 256 Bit
Memory Speed: 0.28ns
Memory Bandwidth: 224.3 GB/s
GTX 780
Base Clock: 967 MHZ
Boost Clock: 1020 MHz
Memory Clock: 6008 MHz Effective
CUDA Cores: 2304
Bus Type: PCI-E 3.0
Memory Detail: 3072MB GDDR5
Memory Bit Width: 384 Bit
Memory Speed: 0.33ns
Memory Bandwidth: 288.38 GB/s
The full benchmark is towards the end if you want to skip the un- boxing and review.
Keep in mind all benchmarks were done at 1080p maximum settings and no antialiasing.
Battlefield 4 was running at 120% full resolution. Grand Theft Auto 5 is still being optimized for the new GTX 980 and newer drivers. Performance will improve as more drivers are released. Crysis 3 is a very demanding game and poorly optimized in some cases.
THIS IS LP-RIPPER24 AND I'M OUT.
