Lastly, 3D Mark, and the Fury X is behind on all but the Ice Storm test, still an adequate performance though. We will probably see driver performance gains over the next few months but as it stands, you are getting a decent GTX 980 Ti rival in the synthetic arena.
Gaming results next and Battlefield 4 up first. All gaming results we maxxed the driver settings and the game settings.
We tested Mantel as it was an easy quick option in the menu, but it had no real impact on the FPS. Overall the performance was very good, and with every setting at Ultra and maxxed out, the game was very smooth and looked great, it just didn’t come close to the GTX980 Ti in FPS.
Crysis 3 gave disappointing results for a flagship card, and although the FPS almost reaches 30 FPS, the game wasn’t very playable.
However Far Cry 3 was extremely playable and matched the GTX 980 Ti pretty much pound for pound.

At around £550 in the UK we expected a whole lot more though. Maybe we are easily disappointed or expected too much, and the fact that our sample may have been from the B grade of stock doesn't help, but it also worries us. That's a lot of money, and if you received it in a similar condition as we did, you would send it back.
