- Testing the Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Ti 6GB graphics card in 13 popular and demanding games in 2024, using an average gaming PC.
Support Iceberg Tech: / icebergtech
After almost a decade, you can’t realistically expect a former flagship graphics card to still impress like it used to, however these days it’s not unusual for graphics cards from the mid-2010s to still have some gaming capability. Maxwell 2 cards technically have all the necessary feature support to be able to run almost every game out there, and the 980 Ti has enough VRAM to at least get a foot in the door; but is that enough in the uncompromising world of PC gaming in 2024?

Yeah I know, the script said “The last 80 Ti card with a single digit of VRAM”, my mouth missed the 80. Sorry 😢
Ayyy
That did not look like footage of Helldivers 2.
I have 2 GTX 980's from pilat with 8 GBs of vram if you are interested in one of them for video
I was going to say that the 750Ti is still getting updates(Driver Version: 556.12 - Release Date: 2024 June 27). My nephew has one in his cheapy pc, that I am just sorting out for him.
I know a guy that bought a GTX 980 the day before the GTX 1080 was released. 💀💀💀
I hope it was heavily discounted. Why didn't he return/exchange it?
if I remember around that time in 2016 I saw the 980 for 250 300ish bucks and the 1080 was 600 msrp so idk you tell me
@@lorenzofalorni3961id just save up and get the 1080 ti
@@lorenzofalorni3961 well how did cost the 1060 6g or even 1070 back that time ?
my GTX 570 died 8 months before the 1070 was released.....that sucked!
Price was ok 350 Euros tax incl. for it, but that meant there was no money for the 1070 as I also needed to upgrade the CPU+Mainboard+RAM at the time.
I literally just won a auction for this card and paid 44 bucks for the gigabyte triple fan version.
congrats, thats a really good deal!
I have 2 zotac amp extreme models either all accessories and boxes
A friend of mine has the same card since 2016, desperately holding onto it while saving up for an upgrade soon.
Nice! I probably wouldn’t have paid £85 for this if I’d known it was going to be a Mech tbh…
Whats so bad with the mech ?@@IcebergTech
When I got my 980-Ti I told myself "This is going to last a long time"......I ended up going from THAT to an RTX-2080, then a RX-6800 and Now on a 7900GRE....it's good to see that if I didn't upgrade my GPU since, it would still be usable today.
Tiny, incremental upgrade after tiny, incremental upgrade. You must have more money than sense lmao.
Not sure about usable... it performs quite badly today.
@@mclarenf1gtr99 Good to keep in mind that the games tested are largely very recent, graphically demanding AAA titles. Not everyone plays these. This card would be perfectly fine for example with games such as: Baldur‘s Gate 3, Anno 1800, Hitman trilogy, Elden Ring, Hades, Doom Eternal. Its Forza Horizon 5 performance was also perfectly acceptable. It depends on what you want to do with it. I had a 1060 6GB right up until halfway through last year.
@@mclarenf1gtr99 it depends on your definition of "usable"... i live half a mile from my job, so an 18 speed bike is "usable" to me, and some people drive half an hour or more, so a reliable car is more "usable"... same goes for gaming... some people "have to have" the 4k 120fps experience, so nothing short of a 2000 dollar space heater of a 4090 will do, while others almost exclusively run emulators that a 1050 ti will run all day long
@@trinityforce9138 Well, he said usable today, so I assumed he was talking about most recent games. I could also say my UHD620 is usable today, and just play League of Legends.😁
Long live the king 980Ti
Seriously though nearly a decade of support is very impressive, and the fact that is still works in most games is even better.
And with a modified ini file also works with windows xp.
Sadly the lack of proper DX 12/Vulkan support hampers it's performance quite significantly in modern games, so much so that theoretically weaker GPUs (R9 390 and RX 580) can match or slightly exced it's performance...
@@ismaelsoto9507it was a time where AMD had quite an influence towards 3D API development. In fact there are some feature in DX12 was made specifically for AMD GCN only.
I literally have 6 school projects that are due next week, but when I saw that Iceberg uploaded a video featuring MY GRAPHICS CARD, I was like “Nahhh, I gotta see this”.
EDIT: Having watched the video, I just have one thing I want to say: “Newer games are not optimized for this GPU at all”. The issue I saw with Forza Horizon 5, Cyberpunk 2077 and Ghost of Tsushima is way more common than I had feared. Take a look at the power draw, and bear in mind, that this was a graphics card that pulled 240-250W in its glory days (Mine draws almost 270W because I OC'ed it). And, for the record, I'm not complaining at devs for this, after all it's like a 9 y/o GPU, it had a good run.
What a weird looking mini PC…
Lol, good one
Well if you’re missing the mini PCs that much, I’ll ask for some more just for you…
@alltheotherhandlesaretaken WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!
@@IcebergTech To be honest I think we have enough mini pcs. I think I speak for 90% of your viewers when I say this but what we really want to see is hardware that most of use can get our hands on. You can push this a bit far with rtx 3080 ti’s and up but rtx 2060 supers and 2070 would make great videos.
The views kinda do the talking, much prefer non mini PC videos@@IcebergTech
I still have my 980Ti I bought back in 2015, though it's not my main card anymore. It's in a secondary system and I've been happy with how it performs in a lot of recent titles. The most recent releases though have really finalized its retirement however. It's had a great run.
4:53 nah that’s just Gman fucking with the world
Another banger from Iceberg. This weekend can only get good.
Always nice to see the walking sim synthetics being represented in the benchmarks. As long as a dozen people buy the game, no matter how long you have to walk in the game, Iceberg will keep it in the benchmarking suit
I bought a second hand 980 to replace my Radeon HD6990 (also second hand) in 2016, it was awesome and held great until I bought a 1080 in mid 2018.
That 1080 held great until Starfield came out, and I no longer had the ability to keep at least 1080p 30FPS.
At that point I just had to upgrade.
(New pc with an amazing sale, Rx6900 xt, sold my old PC to get some $$ back)
Iceberg Tech I gotta tell you that your channel is gold and I'm excited when ever I see an upload by you (same level as when a Digital Foundry video is uploaded).
Well done, keep it just the same please!
To be fair Starfield has probably the poorest optimization I have ever seen in a game. They've made it better now. At low with a touch of DLSS I've seen a 2060 super barely crack 60fps but back during launch at 1080p lowest with aggressive AMD upscaling you'd still be lucky to get like 40 fps with a 2080ti or equivalent. And I mean a choppy 40fps btw
Dude, your content is amazing, so informative and entertaining. Hidden gem of this platform
yeah sadly elon musk and friends disabled it and im pretty much jobless
my goal of daily entertainment ruined, but you have videos now at least
Tying off my arm for another hit of classic GPU content. Great stuff.
its always a nice day when iceberg uploads ❤
Thanks for the flash warning mate.
Avatar The final frontier: The new Iron Maiden Avatar Colab!
Ah yes, a new IcebergTech upload. Whatever you upload I will watch it, really love the music used and general production quality. All by a single man? Jeez
Yes, I'm single, jeez rub it in why don't you 😢
@@IcebergTech jeez, hit a spot my bad
It's a bad GTX 1660 Super/Ti these days
I honestly have to say , I can’t get enough of this content , I stumbled across this channel a few days ago and binged watched it all day long , great videos man , keep them coming
The 980 ti the card that served me for 8 years ish.
I laid my 980 to rest and have never stopped wishing it could relive all those good times all over again 😢
I remember back when I was in 7th grade a friend at that time was freaking out about the 980 ti release , how time flies
I used to want one of these so bad but I ended up only being able to get a R9 270 YEARS ago.
@@montiplays since then I’ve had like 10 GPUs (I was a kid so I couldn’t work so the only way I could upgrade was flipping my pc over and over) and now I have a 4070 ti
I had R9 270x back in the day. Good card
A new Iceberg Tech video? LETS GOOOO.
I'm trying to get my 1080ti back from the PC I sold to my parents, mostly for nostalgia reasons.
Even though the gtx970 was my real first gaming gpu purchased with my own money, I felt truly blessed with teh 1080ti.
My 980Ti got me through 3 years of service and was the last card I cared to mount an aftermarket cooler (Arctic Xtreme IV). Now it sits retired in its original box gathering dust along its peers.
There are some.nice 980 ti fan designs 🎉
I'd love to see a video that compares generational performance jumps.
I would love to see a 720p gaming video with the AMD rx480 & Nvidia 1060 with 2nd and 3rd generation Intel CPUs specifically aimed towards online multiplayer games. 32" 720p TVs are so damn cheap right now, which makes them ideal to pair with a bedroom or spare bedroom PCs.
i remember buying a palit windforce 980ti (chunky 3 fan dual/tri slot boy) from cex when i used to work for them YEARS ago for around £600 and i only swapped it out to upgrade a few years back to get a 12gb 3080 just for a few more modern titles, that 980ti was AMAZING at what it could handle both at 1080 and a few at 1440, it struggled at 4k with a few titles unless details were drastically dropped but it still held up which seriously impressed me... Seeing this video as a throwback made me smile so much to see how it performs nowadays :D
I love my 980ti it now resides in my secondary PC. It still runs games great for how old it is. It’s also an EVGA card
My first gpu
The 1080Ti somehow always pops out in the conversation…BECAUSE ITS THE GOAT! THE GOAT!
Truly a card ahead of it's time ❤
It will be pretty interesting seeing you trying to revive an old laptop using a budget of 100. Also you could later try to connect a psu and gpu to the laptop
Hehe, I'm testing aThunderbolt eGPU dock from AliExpress right now actually. Trying to figure out why it sucks so much...
@@IcebergTech Try using a NVMe or mPCIE adapter, much better performance but worse appearance.
@@MateoThePro Good suggestion, but unfortunately I can’t test it. The PC I’m testing doesn’t have a spare M-key slot and I couldn’t get it to boot from a USB external drive
I own a 980 ti Extreme Waterforce from gigabyte and i love it.
GTX 1080ti was the GTR from back in the day
Currently using the 980ti Strix, has to be my favorite ASUS cooler design since it lacks all that ROG branding.
Also running helldivers isn't much of an issue. I use the optimization guide by benchmark king upscaled to 1440p and run around the 50s.
That was one of the best cards in History at itès time frame.. Till the GTX 1080Ti 11G
I owned both and the CPU at that time the GTX 980Ti 6G was perfect 1080P extream settings worked flawlessly ...
Newer CPUS with the GTX 1080Ti 11G I was blown away at 1440P
Great review BUT Good times in gaming
the last architecture that actually supported analog signal
that gpu suprised me when it surpassed gtx 1650 on some games at 1080p on ultra
I just remember the 980 because it was the recommended card for fallout 4 when it released and it was such a big deal .
I had one til last year. Still a great gpu. I only moved on because I ditched my 60hz 1080p monitor.
Maxwell gpus are awesome they can still play modern games while running on operating systems as old as windows XP , quite a masterpiece of an architecture to spand so many generations of use cases
I still rock a 10900K and 2080TI build. literally nothing I can not play and is still such a monster rig.
going from a 980ti to a 4080 is a preety nice jump hehehe!
Cool vídeo! How a 2013 Kepler GTX Titan is holding on today?
I made a video about it a few months ago: ruclips.net/video/GF4CeShGeds/видео.html
Still rocking the base gtx 980. Hoping to finally upgrade to RTX 5000 once the driver support ends.
I did an EVGA step-up from 980 to 980Ti to 1080 to 1080Ti. 1080Ti is still running.
Would love to see a direct comparison between the 980ti and the 1070. I seem to recall them being pretty even in performance back in the day. Curious if the newer architecture of the 1070 will allow it to overtake the 980ti in more modern games, or if continued Maxwell driver support has kept them mostly even.
I still running a 980 Ti in my system. In a few weeks I will upgrade to a rx 6800 non xt. But I still love my 980 Ti
Man, the McLaren F1 is one hell of a car
Mine blew up the exactly when it was the hardest to buy a replacement almost 3 years ago.....I still have it in hope I can fix it one day....... I doubt I will
I would be curious how the 980 ti stacks up against the 3050 6gb.
980Ti is the fastest card I have used to date.
Also the most power draw.
Love 980ti, still a OK card if you have in the system, but also can be used for the retro systems (even it is compatible with Windows XP after some inf file editing in driver)
I have them one in triple boot retro system using XP/Vista/Seven
Happy noises.
Video on Vega cards next?
Well you got to overclock it maybe the next re-visit
I'm still holding onto my Gigabyte 980Ti. It's fairly powerful for basic work. Even deepfakes, neural net training or rendering in Blender. Bought it for $1K when it was new, and I still get use out of it, after all the years. I don't play games anymore, so fps aren't as important to me. Vram is a bottleneck for sure, but hey, the card is 10 years old. It's a miracle it's still in a good working order.
this video was out 2 days ago i was curious xD and searcht this type of video on google for see how its going with an old GPU
10:44 Nvidia did make sure to dont do that "mistake" anymore with newer series
My 980ti hybrid is still going strong at 1080p. But now it belongs to my 5yo.
I still keep my old i7-3770K / GTX 980 ti around, and it still play everything I want it to at 1680x1050. It also dual boots Windows XP, which is a neat little party trick. I love that thing.
At first I thought "Man, this card really isn't performing well'. Then I remembered that THIS IS A NINE-YEAR-OLD GRAPHICS CARD.
My secondary rig has a tesla m40 "titan x Maxwell". I dont play very new games but i can play alot of pre-2020 games at 1440p and some new games like monster hunter rise at 1440p
Makes sense, rise was specifically built for a tiny 256 cuda core maxwell.
My brother had a EVGA 980ti. It failed within his two year warranty and EVGA sent him a 1080 to replace it. It was really awesome service and makes me miss EVGA.
XFX used to be like that in the past.
noice, u can also enable MSI Mode(Message Signaled interrupt, insetad of IRQ from 1962 year. ) on that GPU increasing further performance
The GTX 980 Ti is about 1fps slower on average than the RTX 4050 30W in all the tests i've seen. So, while it isnt able to match up to any 40 series card, that still does make it a capable card in 2024.
Hey! Am currently using a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 512MB GDDR3 in an all in one PC from MSI, whilst also running a Pentium E5400. Any ideas on how it runs on some other games? I only have a 600GB HDD and I dont want to waste space, or sit there for multiple hours to find out which games run. (It only supports up to DX 10.1)
Good for League of Legends I guess. Your PC is very weak overall. Good for 2001-2009 games.
@@mclarenf1gtr99 There's a reason why I play TMNF, GTA IV and Minecraft. I've already finished Crysis, and the only way I play Minecraft on 1.21 is with a sh!tload of performance mods.
what a nice retro gaming build you had
When cars meet pcs......Btw i like it
Getting my GTX 970 back from a mate I gifted it to as he has a new PC and is currently using a borrowed RTX 3050 - he's gonna get a shock when he buys a 4 or 5 thousand series card!
Yessss
I still use my Zotac AMP! Omega 980Ti even tho i bought the sapphire Nitro+ 6700XT 2nd hand($440 SGD) months ago. I just dont see the point of changing the gpu currently
Try it with the Lossless Scaling apps frame generation 2.1.
strix still going strong voltage overclock doesn't help though rn at 180 base and 400 memory
We have come partly a long way in efficiency! Today the PS5 SOC takes even less energy than this GPU but runs better and has a 8x core CPU inside 🔋🤔
and if PS5 was manufactured using current 3/4nm tech, it would be even more efficient and they could put a 16 core CPU inside if they wanted.
I have an evga 980 ti, still slaps.
Yes going pretty alright today i played call of Duty black ops 90 to 110 frames, with I5 12400F, and 16Gb ddr4 3600, memory and many more Games, CEX around £80 basically you don't need to pay out thousands in order to play a Game to be honest
Just went from a 980ti to a 4070 super this past week
Glad to see you took my advice about rolling back drivers for The Last of Us. Who knows when Nvidia will fix the issue. Seems they have been making a habit of breaking games lately.
0:20 forgot the 3070Ti, nvidia’s middle class cash grab during the mining crisis. Please do a diss track on that someday. Your unique tone will make for some memorable sound bites.
Nvidia made Pascal 'too well'...
I want someone to make a video to see which 6gb card is the best. I think the rx 5600 xt is probably the fastest of the 6gb cards but it would be interesting to see how they all stack up.
The 980ti was meant to be my 4K gaming card for a few years. Then, Final Fantasy 15 came along.
The 1080ti was meant to be _it_ in its place. Then, Yakuza Kiwami 2 came along.
Presently, on an RX 6800, liquid cooled. Technically, the ray tracing of Resident evil 2 remake wanted to show it up, but that game decided to just be unfairly hard compared to the original, and 3 remake was better optimized in general; Don't @ me on this.
Now I'm more worried about Robocop Rogue city being the game that demands I upgrade again.
You can def play older games at 1440p on a GTX 980 Ti and even a regular GTX 980. I’ve done it myself and it’s not a bad experience
2017 games or under are totally viable playing at 1440p60 with good graphics. GPU is just weak for heavy 2021-2024 games.
@@mclarenf1gtr99 that’s fr.
🙂 the 1070 1070ti 1080 might be better options if u have a very small power supply since those cards usually only need a single 8 pin, for models i prefer the three fan versions such as the STRIX
If you want something more than 6gb on a 980ti you can buy the Nvidia tesla m40 12/24 GB,basically the same but more ram.
I had 960 & 970 before upgrading to Vega56 & RX 6600 XT, good times with 900 series until they ruined GFE app...
Like the video please
Subscribe if you haven't yet
I got 2 of them for 100 bucks for machine learning they are still capable for some stuff
hy ikeep recomending the 6600xt to my customers for gaming
You know you're getting somewhere when the memes begin.
Without vram being a factor a dlss fsr3 mod will play any new AAA game with this card except maybe bodycam and whatever horribly optimized UE5+ game. I have a gtx 970 and it will run everything I throw at it and sometimes I need to use a dlss fsr3 mod but it works good I can even do frame generation (though at lower fps FG sucks). The only game I need to do frame generation is bellwright and it's playable. Dlss mod with fsr3 surprisingly looks great at ultra quality even just quality I would have to put my nose to the screen to spot the difference between those and native although my screens resolution is low so don't quote me on that last part 😀
edit* the best contender for 980 Ti is the 1660 Ti, the fastest 6GB card of GTX lineup, please do GTX 980 Ti vs 1660 Ti vs RTX 2060
The 2060 is faster than the 1660Ti and also has 6GB of VRAM, you probably confused it with the 2060 super which does have 8gb of vram
@@JoseLgamer05 True, I was confused, I should had write the fastest GTX card with 6 GB, should be included as well the 1660 Super, with a comparison with 980 Ti vs 1660 Ti vs 1660 Super vs 2060
*I always felt the 980Ti needed 8gigs of VRAM as its such a beast for its time and here you can see more VRAM wouldve helped a ton*
6GB was plenty even at 4k during it's released. It's direct competitor Fury X only have 4GB.
Could you test nvidia quadro M6000 it is 980 Ti but with fully unlocked core (3072 Cuda vs 2816 cuda) and 24 gb VRAM.
GTX 980 Ti used to perform like GTX 1660 Ti in the past, but on most recent games it's being outperformed by the 1660 Ti due to old architecture. I remember seeing a 20% difference between them running CP 2077.
1660Ti have proper support for async compute unlike maxwell. For games that can use async compute heavily 1660Ti will pull ahead. Same case with 1080 vs 2060.
It's impressive that cards as old as the GTX 750 Ti still have driver support, whereas AMD killed off pre-Polaris GCN way too soon
Way too soon? Even 6 years support actually quite crazy. You did not see other hardware have that kind of support.
The 3060 T.I has single digit ram numbers
