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.
Newer games really put the hurting on older graphics cards. A 2GB GeForce GTX 680 just can't cut it when it comes to Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, and the performance gap between the 2012 GPU and today's chart-topping GTX 980 Ti AMP! is huge. This is the kind of power you need to play modern games at fancy resolutions and ultra-level quality.
