The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review
by Ryan Smith on May 31, 2015 6:00 PM ESTDragon Age: Inquisition
Our RPG of choice for 2015 is Dragon Age: Inquisition, the latest game in the Dragon Age series of ARPGs. Offering an expansive world that can easily challenge even the best of our video cards, Dragon Age also offers us an alternative take on EA/DICE’s Frostbite 3 engine, which powers this game along with Battlefield 4.
Meanwhile on an absolute basis what we find at 4K with Ultra quality is that the GTX 980 Ti is once more hitting framerates in the 40fps range. At 40.7fps the GTX 980 Ti is the only other single-GPU card to average better than 30fps at these settings, with the next-closest card being the GTX 980 at exactly 30fps. Otherwise users looking for higher framerates can either turn down the quality setting one notch to high, which gets us 52.6fps, or drop down to 1440p, which is good for 77.9fps.

Wow ,Crysis 3 and Battlefield 4 hitting 80 fps at very high 2560x1440.Clearly there's much room for better graphics at lower resolutions.
I would buy this card , but not if I knew the only benefit would be to
run games at higher resolutions, that is, graphics has some way to go still
and this card could accommodate such a prospect.

I'll wait to see what this 980GTX "METAL" is all about before I order a new gpu. With 770 Sli I'm in no real rush, as the 980Ti just barley surpassed my Firestrike Score(less than 100 graphic points)johnpombrio - Thursday, June 25, 2015 - link
I am just going through the AMD Fury X's reviews as it came out today with a ton of reviews (June 24th, 2015). It is excellent card and would have absolutely dominated the price point if this pesky GTX 980Ti just had not come along a month before AMD's much hyped launch. It cannot be such a coincidence that NVidia's card just happened to be so close in its benchmarks to the AMD's card. It is also such a coincidence that AMD set the price of their card at exactly the same price as NVidia. So my theory is that NVidia managed to get their hands on a reference Fury X and dialed in their 980Ti to match it. In the meantime, AMD was planning on charging a LOT more for their extremely well designed card (with its own built in water cooler and HBM) expecting the Ti to be launched much later this year but was forced to chop the price. If the price was cut, I don't expect the AIB manufacturers for the Fury X to be very pleased to have a lot less profit margin on the card. Three things may hold back the Fury X as well. One is that the Ti overclocks much better. Next is that the water cooler may or may not be welcomed by all considering its size and possible installation issues. Finally, AMD has been getting complaints by many folks over drivers (or lack thereof). Otherwise, a successful launch for both companies.deteugma - Thursday, July 16, 2015 - link
It is extremely frustrating that none of the charts include the 970.Loretta946 - Wednesday, August 1, 2018 - link
To solve this I made a small below base https://plungeroutersreview.voog.com/woodworking-p... you need to pierce you could actually simply use a nail rather.
