So, recently I bought a MSI GTX 980 4G, and I have a i5 4690 and 16GB RAM, I received yesterday. So, not many games installed.
Does this GPU handle with "heavy" graphics games? Like, games that requires a lot from the graphics.. For example, Battlefield 4, Grand Theft Auto V..

Thank you
 
Here's the summary of performance in 19 games in techpowerups game test suite ... it's about 8% faster than the reference 980 card and overclocks about 15% beyond that

I have that GPU. So far I have run into zero problems. I've played Fallout 4, Arkham Knight, Dying Light, and other new releases. It is a great card.
 
:) I relies you want a very exact answer everyone is telling you it is basically the 2nd best card out right now that is the answer. So Yes great card yes will play every game out right now at max or very close to max details for 1080P and same for 1400.

Yes in max. I still run default settings for the card as well since I've never needed to overclock yet.

I am not thinking to overclock, but there's no problem to put the gpu in silent mode using msi gaming app, right?

I'm guessing it will be completely fine, but I don't use the MSI gaming app. If you are worried about it then try it out and monitor the temps. I can't even really hear mine so I really don't have any use for silent mode.
