Geforce gtx 980ti shows its good coping with the gtx 1070 ti

Since the arrival of the Maxwell architecture, the changes introduced by Nvidia in its new cards have been much less than what we saw in the move from Kepler to Maxwell, this has caused that the GeForce GTX 980Ti series cards have aged much better than the of the 600 and 700 series that were based on Kepler.

GeForce GTX 980Ti proves Maxwell has aged well

The graphics cards based on the Kepler architecture have aged badly for two fundamental reasons, one of them is their low amount of VRAM, and the other is that their design is based on 192 CUDA Cores SMX units. By contrast, the Maxwell and Pascal architectures are based on 128 CUDA Cores SMX, making optimization of both not so different compared to Kepler.

This has made the GeForce GTX 980Ti have aged much better than the GeForce GTX 780Ti, in fact it is still an excellent choice today and with the help of overclocking it doesn't have much to envy the GeForce GTX 1070Ti in performance. NJ Tech has been responsible for demonstrating that Maxwell is still a very competent architecture to this day, something that is not surprising since his arrival was a revolution and marked the beginning of the AMD debacle and its already very obsolete GCN.

The GeForce GTX 980Ti with overclocking is able to match the GeForce GTX 1070Ti, which shows that it still has a lot to say and that it is a very good option if you find it cheap in the second-hand market.
