Testing Methodology
All synthetic and gaming tests are carried out three times with the best result taken. If the game is an online multi player, the same map is used each time and a ping constantly under 40ms is required before a test is valid.

On with the synthetic results, first AIDA64 Engineer edition. Memory performance for read and write wasn’t what we had hoped with HBM, but it is right with the GTX 980 Ti. The Memory Copy performance is superb, with the highest results we have ever seen.
FLOPS performance is excellent too, with the XFX Radeon R9 Fury X always ahead of the GTX 980 Ti.
Same can be said for FPS performance, though only a slight advantage here.
Rolls reversed with the Unigine Heaven benchmark results, the Zotac GTX 980 Ti is ahead by some margin. We’ll put our money on driver maturity rather than a GPU that lacks power.

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.
