A few things to remember
1) Windows 10 allows for Direct X 12
2) The 980 GTX card was one of the first cards that was Native Direct X 12, and not "Direct X 12 compatible"
In short, owning a 980 GTX and not running Windows 10 is a bad move.
3) I own 980 GTX Superclocked too because I love the 3 - 5 year extended warranty that EVGA gives you for buying one of their products FOR FREE as opposed to the shitty warranties that exist on other cards. One does not simply purchase high end video cards without having the backing of a good and reliable warranty.
4) Synthetic Numbers are meaningless and a marketting ploy when it comes to gaming:
40 - 100K is irrelevant
What is relevant is your Minimum, Average, and Maximum Framerate possible while running a game WITHIN the game's allowing maximum framerate for smooth animation.
5) Bigger Scores came in Windows 7 because Windows 8 demanded more resources and was made with a different idea in mind. Even so, the score was slightly better...
I know the answer to the following Question, but I want to see if anyone here also knows it.....
"Does anyone here know if the Tier-6 graphics remain completely in Direct X9 or do they break into areas that are handled better by Direct X 11 or 12?"
