1440p In-Game Testing
A GPU like the GTX 980 is really best suited for higher resolutions like 4k and 1440p. This is exactly why Nvidia developed DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution). DSR will render your games at the higher resolutions and downscale them to your real resolution to give you even more detail in your games. Doing this means the card needs to perform well at those resolutions, so let’s see how the 980 performed at 2560x1440. Not surprisingly in four out of the five games tested the GTX 980 stomped. The one exception was Hitman, but frankly it doesn’t exactly perform well at 1440p for anything. Thief once again boggles my mind with 1080p and 1440p results that are basically spot on, the game clearly doesn’t care what resolution you run it at!
