GX-147-GI_400.jpg


The new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980/970 is powered by the next generation NVIDIA Maxwell Architecture, giving you incredible performance, unmatched power efficiency, and cutting-edge features.

Maxwell is the most advanced GPU architecture ever made, designed to be the engine of next generation gaming. Inspired by light, it was designed to solve some of the most complex lighting and graphics challenges in visual computing. For the first time, gaming GPU's can dynamically render indirect light using the new VXGI (Voxel Global Illumination technology). Scenes are significantly more lifelike as light interacts more realistically in the game environment.

The GTX 980 is the worlds fastest GPU and the GTX 970 offers the most advanced performance in its class. Each delivers 2x the performance of previous-generation card, bringing new gaming experiences to virtual reality, and ultra resolution 4k displays.

Enable the detail of 4k monitors, on a 1080P display. DSR produces smoother images by rendering a game at a high resolution, then downscaling it to the native resolution of the display using advanced filtering.

GeForce GTX 980 and 970 cards support tear-free, super-fast NVIDIA G-Sync monitor display technology including 4k. Together, these technologies provide the most immersive and competitive gaming experiences possible.

Will the Zotac GeForce GTX 980 AMP OC 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (ZT-90204-10P) at £439.99 go on a deal soon ?
 
Those 960's look good, is there any down side to 2gb memory for 1080p for gaming?

Most titles should be ok to a degree but really depends on what you play.

Best to check what you are currently using to know where you stand. Use MSI Afterburner's or EVGA Precision X on screen display to see this ingame.

If you are already hitting 1600MB VRAM I'd pay a bit more and go another £100 for 4GB GTX970 and a very good option. Be surprised if were using this much, GTX960 is half the capability of a GTX980 or 3/4 the GTX970. Competitor to the GTX970 is the value-performance option 290 if you want to check that out but I'd always check out reviews since Maxwell outperforms Hawaii.

In general yes - and with that HS you are likely to get a good overclock to help it along....

If you can afford it the G1 will last you a lot longer though!
