Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Review

Thief is set in a dark fantasy world inspired by Victorian, gothic, and steampunk aesthetics. Garrett, a master thief who has been away from his hometown for a long time, returns to it, a place known only as The City, and finds it ruled with an iron grip by a tyrant called The Baron. While The City is ravaged by a plague, the rich continue to live in isolation and good fortune while the poor are forming numerous mobs against the authorities, Garrett intends to use the volatile situation to his favor. (Wikipedia).

We test at the ‘very high' preset for maximum image quality. Resolution is set to 4k for this particular test.

At this insane resolution the Thief engine proves unplayable on all but one solution. The Nvidia GTX980 when overclocked to 1,329mhz managed to maintain smooth frame rates holding above 25fps at all times. At 4k, the Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X OC moves up the list a little, in behind the Asus GTX780Ti Direct CU II OC Edition.
