My ratings begin with performance, where the $549 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 competes against the rest of the market in an unfairly matched comparison. With the launch of GTX 980, NVIDIA will discontinue GTX 780 Ti, 780, and 770. Gamers will most likely com...

I consider myself pretty lucky, since I have many opportunities to speak to the members of the HiTech Legion community via email, YouTube, Facebook or when I have the occasion in PM's via the forums. Lately there has been one conversation (which is rela...

When NVIDIA launched the first Maxwell cards earlier this year, we knew that we would be in for a treat with their latest architecture. Though just a fragment of the performance of what their eventual high-end cards would be, NVIDIA's first Maxwell cards...
Maxwell may not be the revolutionary upgrade everyone was looking for, or wanted. The current process node of 28nm is still holding GPUs back at the moment, the next node, 20nm just isn't ready. However, it is incredible what NVIDIA has done at the 28nm n...

With a new model there is always a tendency, however much we might try and avoid it, to expect it to blow the old one out of the water and justify its place in the market. After all if it's not any better than the previous one why would they bother?The gr...

Not a huge upgrade from current gen outgoing flagship, price makes this a upper end model and outside the mass market, Not a huge upgrade from current gen outgoing flagship, price makes this a upper end model and outside the mass market

Abstract: A few months back, we took a look at the GeForce GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti, which features a GPU based on NVIDIA's bleeding-edge Maxwell microarchitecture. Although there have been a few exceptions, when one of the big GPU makers releases a next-gen GPU, the...

Abstract: 2014 has been a strange year for graphics chips. Many of the GeForce and Radeon graphics cards currently on the market are based on GPUs over two years old. Rather than freshening up their entire silicon lineups top-to-bottom like in the past, AMD and Nvi...

Abstract: To be fair though, this isn't our first experience with the Maxwell architecture. With the release of the GeForce GTX 750 Ti and its GM107 GPU, NVIDIA put the industry on watch and let us all ponder if they could possibly bring such a design to a high end...
Abstract: Earlier this month NVIDIA launched the GeForce GTX 970 and GTX 980 as their highest-end offerings based on their Maxwell architecture. Since the GTX 750 series debut I have been anxious to see Maxwell succeed Kepler in the high-end space and finally last...
