GeForce GTX 980 vs GeForce GTX 760: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 980 vs GeForce GTX 760

The GeForce GTX 980 is dramatically faster, around 250% ahead of the GeForce GTX 760. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce GTX 980 packs 2,048 CUDA cores versus 1,152 on the GeForce GTX 760.

Price & Value

The GeForce GTX 760 currently lists from $27,029 JPY, $1,937 JPY less than the GeForce GTX 980 at $28,966 JPY. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 980 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 227%. The GeForce GTX 760 still sits about $26,810 JPY above its $219 JPY MSRP. The GeForce GTX 980 still sits about $28,417 JPY above its $549 JPY MSRP.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The GeForce GTX 980 carries 4GB versus 2GB on the GeForce GTX 760. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The GeForce GTX 980's memory is also faster — 224 GB/s versus 192 GB/s — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 760 or GeForce GTX 980?

The GeForce GTX 980 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GTX 760 if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce GTX 980 better than the GeForce GTX 760?

The GeForce GTX 980 is dramatically faster, roughly 250% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 760 or the GeForce GTX 980?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at entry-level 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the GeForce GTX 980 worth the extra $1,937 JPY over the GeForce GTX 760?

Often yes — despite the higher price the GeForce GTX 980 delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the GeForce GTX 980 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 4GB (vs 2GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
