What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the substantial improvement over the GTX 1080 and performance comparable with Titan X Pascal. PCWorld considers it a strong 4K option at its launch price, while TechRadar and PC Gamer flag the expense. Some demanding games still need settings reduced to maintain 60 fps at 4K; custom coolers can improve on the Founders Edition.
