Ah that'll be it.

The benchmark doesn't load enough textures to be using more than 4GB IIRC.

The second part of the game with the vegetation is more demanding than the first.

Read comments from some people here. 980GTX stutter fest, Titan Blacks using 6GB V-RAm etc.

He he that wasnt a very good thread to link only two people said it was stuttering which one you quoted the rest said it was fine with less than 6gb of VRAM.

I will see what happens when I play the game and my monitor comes back.

Good luck mate. Hopefully the 980 provide you with good enough improvement (both temp and performance wise) and you be happy with the results.

Only issue only driver 344.80 seem to work with 4k display port.

Not a major issue but can't have latest drivers

Tried Ultra out with boom & 11 down still

30/35 fps docked

80 / 90 fps in space temps around 65C.

High was 120 in space 60C.

Going to run on high as i really couldn't see much difference.
