10 Aug 2021 - Graphics card reviewed

While some games have more powerful requirements than this GPU, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti EVGA 6GB Edition is only really challenged by the most demanding games released today, but normally it is more than capable of running games with a stable frame rate at 1080p.

Capable of running games with up to a DirectX 12 requirement.

Lets look at the GeForce GTX 980 Ti EVGA 6GB Edition game performance guide for some of the biggest games played in 2023. In particular we will see how well this graphics card runs on Ultra settings on 1080p resolution as well as 1440p and 4K. We look at 1000 of the most demanding games available today and this GPU is better than the recommended graphics requirement of more than 763 games in the list.

Running at 1080p this card gets a playable frame rate from Far Cry 6 with 38 FPS on Ultra. Then we take a look at Dying Light 2 which returns a playable 40 FPS. Another title that we looked at is the popular Grand Theft Auto VI which we predict will get a playable 40 FPS.

As the PC gaming masses explore larger screen resolutions we decided to run some game checks at 1440p across a few popular games. We discovered the GeForce GTX 980 Ti EVGA 6GB Edition ran Far Cry 6 to a playable performance level. Results across the graphics settings looked like this, Low: 77 FPS, Medium: 60 FPS, High: 41 FPS and Ultra: 29 FPS. Another game tested was Dying Light 2, L: 80FPS, M: 63FPS, H: 42FPS, U: 30FPS. And then we researched potential graphics card performance on Grand Theft Auto VI, wih estimates revealing L: 80FPS, M: 63FPS, H: 42FPS, U: 30FPS at 1440p. Gaming at 1440p with the GeForce GTX 980 Ti EVGA 6GB Edition is certainly a viable option for these higher gaming resolutions. Remember that if you suffer some 1440p FPS drops the you can usually tweak modern game graphics settings until you get a near High graphics setting experience with this Graphics card.

How many years will the GeForce GTX 980 Ti EVGA 6GB Edition graphics card play newly released games and how long until you should consider upgrading the GeForce GTX 980 Ti EVGA 6GB Edition in your PC? This gpu has around 2+ years of running AAA recommended system requirements before any upgrades should be considered.

Whats a good PC graphics upgrade for the GeForce GTX 980 Ti EVGA 6GB Edition? There are no graphics cards on the current market that would provide a big enough increase in performance to warrant upgrading the GeForce GTX 980 Ti EVGA 6GB Edition.
