The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review
by Ryan Smith on May 31, 2015 6:00 PM ESTGRID Autosport
For the racing game in our benchmark suite we have Codemasters’ GRID Autosport. Codemasters continues to set the bar for graphical fidelity in racing games, delivering realistic looking environments with layed with additional graphical effects. Based on their in-house EGO engine, GRID Autosport includes a DirectCompute based advanced lighting system in its highest quality settings, which incurs a significant performance penalty on lower-end cards but does a good job of emulating more realistic lighting within the game world.
As was the case with all of our other games so far, our racing benchmark of choice does no better in separating the two GM200 cards, with GTX 980 Ti yet again trailing GTX Titan X by no more than 3%. Even with everything cranked up to max, the GTX 980 Ti makes easy work of GRID at 4K, hitting 70.6fps at 4K Ultra and making it the cheapest card to crack 60fps. This also continues to be a solid lead for the GTX 980 Ti over the GTX 980 and GTX 780, beating the two cards by 28% and 76% respectively at 4K.

He was highlighting incorrect grammar, not a typo. Btw, that should have been "it's", not "its", for the same reason. ;D My old English teacher would have used bullets for such errors if such as allowed...mapesdhs - Wednesday, June 3, 2015 - link
...and of course my own typo of 'as' instead of 'was' once again shows how annoying it is that in 2015 we still can't edit our posts on AT. :\FlushedBubblyJock - Wednesday, June 10, 2015 - link

...and you typo in yours? Or so Google translate suggests.shaolin95 - Friday, October 23, 2015 - link
Yes but the 980ti is still untouchable basically so 28nm or not...ComputerGuy2006...show me something better ;)Flunk - Sunday, May 31, 2015 - link
lower nm = more transistors in the same space = more performance, and possibly reductions in heat and power usage. There is only so much they can do on the 28nm node, which is why the next generation will likely utterly massacre the current one. 4K will be feasible at a reasonable price point.Refuge - Monday, June 1, 2015 - link
Depending on yields, lets not get too excited yet.I'll be excited when I get the email from Amazon saying my GTX1000TI is going to be here in two days and says I only spent $500 after rebate. :)
