Comparing this to FIFA 22 which is predicted to get strong results, where it averages 172 FPS. Another popular game we looked at is Far Cry 6, which is predicted to run at 36 frames per second.

As the PC gaming masses explore larger screen resolutions we decided to run some game checks at 1440p across a few popular games. We predict the GeForce GTX 980 Ti EVGA Superclocked 6GB Edition will run the upcoming game Battlefield 2042 to a playable performance level. Predictions across the graphics settings looked like this, Low: 80 FPS, Medium: 62 FPS, High: 54 FPS and Ultra: 43 FPS. Another game researched was FIFA 22 with predictions of L: 295FPS, M: 246FPS, H: 180FPS, U: 131FPS. And then we researched potential graphics card performance on Far Cry 6, wih estimates revealing L: 72FPS, M: 57FPS, H: 38FPS, U: 27FPS at 1440p.
