Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
One of the highest-rated games of 2014, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is an excellent open-world adventure and uses the LithTech Jupiter EX to deliver eye-catching visuals. Putting the strain on these mid-to-high-end cards, we test with Ultra quality settings at FHD and QHD, and notch things down to Very High quality for 4K UHD.
The level of factory overclock is irrelevant in Shadow of Mordor, where the GTX 960's 2GB frame buffer and narrow 128-bit bus combine to hamper performance.
