I have spent the last couple of weeks benchmarking a selection of AMD and NVIDIA cards with the latest drivers on one of our new 6700k test beds. We are using the AMD Crimson Edition Display Driver, Version 16.15.2211 and Nvidia ForceWare 368.39 driver. Due to public demand we also add in a range of tests at 1080p to supplement the results at 1440p and Ultra HD 4K resolutions.
We list each resolution test for every game on its own page – meaning if you are just interested in 4K resolutions for instance, you can skip the other resolutions without effort. If you want to read the whole review and find all the page changes annoying – click on our menu system top right of these pages, and head to ’32. view all pages’.
We are using a custom Titan Bayonet system supplied by Overclockers UK as the basis of our test system today. Read more on this system over HERE.

We perform under real world conditions, meaning KitGuru tests games across five closely matched runs and then average out the results to get an accurate median figure. If we use scripted benchmarks, they are mentioned on the relevant page.

beast card, cant wait for the 480 to compete with this one if ever.
I would have liked to see a witcher 3 benchmark, but hey that’s just me.
Just wanted to point out that the table in the introduction for the Memory speeds is wrong.
oh yeah and the 1440p benchmark for GTA 5 shows the g1 1080. wut
I think they should have had some proof reading done on this. lol
Just a suggestion, but the release of this new generation of card with plenty of VR specific stuff could be the perfect opportunity to include a VR test in your review.
I’m quite interested in 1070/1080 despite no game using the SMP features yet, but there is almost no VR review with “real” games on most of professional reviews on the internet.
sorry, its fixed. ive been testing the new AMD card alongside this for another review and that was a code error showing a graph from an earlier review — no excuse, but fixed!
THe 480 is a 200$ card, which AMD has said will offer 970 / 980(non-Ti) performance levels. That’s pretty good for a 200$ card, but can’t compete with this…which is a 380$ card.

I think AMD’s idea is to crossfire the 480’s to give you just a bit better than the 1070.
(Though with the AMD driver issues it may not be ideal. eg The division)
That would be 400 dollars (2x4gb model)
Yes, but it is nothing interesting SLI 960 for cheap will beat expensive 980. So cheap 480 will bet expensive 1070 even 1080.. same as future SLI 1060 will beat 1080

And? SLI / Crossfire performance isn’t 1:1, and 7/10 games don’t come with support.
Hell, some games don’t get Crossfire support for up to 6 months.
STILL more expensive than the NVidia stock 1080 RRP! Jeeez!
I think I’ll buy this, for me the extra 10 fps you can get with a 1080 is not worth the extra $200.
You dont help enough when you mesure the power consumption from the whole system. There are many complaints if the card with only 1×8 pin connectord draws all 150 watt from the connector and stays safely within limits from the power also needed of the pci -e slot. Other vendors like evga and msi making cards with 8+6 pin connectors doesnt need to draw from the pci slot at all? Because the way i see it that would be a better design than the reference one
Nott in my country. The stock 1080 costs around 250 euros more here.
