❓ Is this product right for you?

✅ Best uses

• Enthusiast or collector build: find a model from the ROG Poseidon range.
• Classic gaming and light competitive titles: with appropriate settings and after checking the game version.
• Hybrid cooling: use with air or a custom liquid loop project, subject to the detailed checks below.
• Multi-screen: choice of DVI-I, HDMI, and DisplayPort connections; number of simultaneous displays to be checked according to the configuration.

⚠️ Important limitations

The 4 GB of VRAM limits high textures and settings in recent games. This generation does not have dedicated acceleration for modern RTX technologies. This is not a promise of compatibility with all current games.

Mining and extreme overclocking: mining or unauthorized voltage modification strictly prohibited under the store's warranty terms.

💰 Value comparison

Existing estimates in the listing are kept for reference only, not a current market report. The air test does not certify the leak testing of the liquid loop.

📊 Graphics performance — PassMark G3D Mark

GTX 980: approximately 11,071 points.

PassMark G3D Mark measures overall graphics performance based on user-submitted results. The values added to the listing by LA CLÉ INFORMATIQUE are reference averages for the models, not individual tests of this ASUS Poseidon card. Date of the report, exact version, and source configurations are not indicated.

PassMark comparison, scale from 0 to 13,615

GTX 970: 9,637

⭐ GTX 980: 11,071

GTX 1060 6GB: 10,015

GTX 980 Ti: 13,615

The higher the score, the higher the benchmark performance of the reference result. Scores vary depending on the versions of PerformanceTest, drivers, and configurations used. A score difference does not guarantee an identical difference in FPS or speed in an application.

🔄 Comparison — GTX 980 vs equivalents, 3DMark Fire Strike

Distinct Fire Strike scale, from 0 to 12,000

GTX 970: ≈ 8,200

Existing values kept, without update. The precise type of subscore and protocol are not indicated; these are not results from this specific card. In-game performance also depends on the processor, RAM, and settings.

PassMark G3D Mark and 3DMark Fire Strike are two different benchmarks. Their scores and scales should not be compared directly.

🎮 Gaming performance: usage benchmarks

Classic gaming is its most interesting field. No FPS results for this specific card are provided: check the requirements of the current version of each game and adapt the settings to your PC.
