Its score of 92 fps was nearly 30 fps higher than the older ASUS G750 (65 fps) and the Alienware 17 (63 fps). Here, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M GPU started to show its mettle. On this more demanding game, we turned the effects to the High settings and set the screen resolution to 1080p before running the built-in benchmark. Its average frame rate of 135 fps was on a par with the other two Nvidia GeForce 880M GPUs. Here again the Maxwell GPU was good, but didn’t distinguish itself from Nvidia’s last-generation GPUs. For this test, we turned the effects to Ultra, and set the resolution to 1920 x 1080. Its active members may be dropping like wild boars, but World of Warcraft still remains one of the most popular online games. On this test, the Maxwell GPU’s dominance is a bit inconclusive while it beat the older ASUS and the Maingear by roughly 13,000 and 14,000 points, respectively, it fell to the Alienware by about 13,000 points. In the Unlimited version, the test is rendered offscreen, so as better to make comparisons between GPUs. To start off, we ran 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited, a synthetic graphics test that uses a DirectX 11 engine limited to Direct3D feature level 9.
