This card will meet and play most demanding AAA games and do so with good graphics setting as standard, and confidently pushing past the recommended game system requirements needed to run today’s games.

This card meets game requirements up to DirectX 12.

Here is a quick game performance synopsis for the AAA games played in 2023. In particular we focus on how well the GeForce GTX 980 Ti Gigabyte XTREME 6GB Edition runs at Ultra graphics settings and what frames per second it is getting at 1080p, 1440p and 4K monitor resolutions.

The 1080p FPS on Ultra for the GeForce GTX 980 Ti Gigabyte XTREME 6GB Edition shows us that Star Citizen is predicted to get a good result of 74 FPS, and then we are seeing Dying Light 2 returning a reasonable 47 FPS while another game on our list is the Days Gone which is getting 66 frames per second at Ultra 1080p.

Next up we increase screen res tests to accommodate the growing in popularity 1440p screen size.

It scored up a playable series of FPS results across these graphics presets - Low: 94 FPS, Medium: 74 FPS, High: 50 FPS and Ultra: 35 FPS.
