3DMark 11
“3DMark 11 is the latest version of the world’s most popular benchmark.

Trusted by gamers worldwide to give accurate and unbiased results, 3DMark 11 is the best way to consistently and reliably test DirectX 11 under game-like loads.” From 3DMark.com
With a sizeable overclock over the reference model, and a custom cooler which avoids any clock speed throttling, the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 980 is well ahead of the competition in 3DMark 11.
Coming from a EVGA GeForce GTX 670 would be a really nice upgrade, looking at the GTX 770 witch is noting more then a GTX 680 and the GTX 980, the numbers are pretty high. Especially when playing on Quad HD. Then again the 20nm is just around the corner, I’ll wait a little longer because all the games I have here should play just fine at Max settings, and running two of these in SLI should hold you over a good three years.
