Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
Shadow of Mordor is more difficult for modern cards to render, especially at high-quality settings, yet the Gigabyte card, whilst not as fast as the EVGA or Palit, does a good job at all resolutions. Performance, then, is very good for a small form-factor offering.
Benchmarking at between five and 10 per cent below the very fastest GTX 970s is the sacrifice made for a smaller form factor.
