Now on to our new additions to the game tests, Doom and The Division. We didn’t have all samples for these tests but as promised in our earlier reviews, we are going to start adding in more modern games whether we have sent back reviews samples or not. This may mean your card, or a card you intend to buy isn’t included, but this will blend out over time.
Doom first and this is a game that takes us back to the Quake and Doom generation supported by the older cards mentioned at the start of this review, so where does the EVGA Nvidia GTX 1080 end up in our results? As it turns out, very well, though not the generational jump you would expect. Still 201 FPS is very respectable and puts it into VR territory.
The Division is the second of our newer games. We used the settings menu game benchmark and compared it with real life game play, the synthetic benchmark always gave a lower score, so all of these results are real game play results. Maximum FPS comes out in second place, but not by much. Average and minimum performances show the cards strong performance, another sizable jump over the MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V.
EVGA Nvidia GTX 1080 Founders Edition Graphics Card Review
Package and Bundle - 8
Performance - 9.5
Price - 8.5
Consumer Experience - 9.5
8.9
Nvidia may have dropped the ball a little with the release drivers, and the subsequent drivers that game to fix the issues, but there's no doubt, the Nvidia GTX 1080 Founders Edition is a stellar performance, and the VGA GTX 1080 Founders Edition exercises the GPU core perfectly.
