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.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor provides a timely reminder. GTX 950 makes a good fist of 1080p gameplay, but it isn't the most forward-looking GPU and, with a 2GB frame buffer, can be found out in some of the more demanding and memory-intensive titles. The game's playable, but you'd be forced to ditch the Ultra-quality preset in order to achieve a preferred 60fps.
