The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

Joulka · 9 Jun 2015 at 18:18

I have ordered a MSI gaming gtx 980 ti as well and when I saw the ETA I think I just looked for alternatives to buy that were already out, then shortly after losing my mind I realised it was better to be patient and be happy. I mean, end of the day in two months you'll forget about this whole fiasco and be saving for Pascal or posting on forums about the next thing around the corner like that new gaming mouse you ordered.

At least, that's what we should all be thinking.....I want my card!!

hope all with their cards have received better than they expected.

Still no dispatch email. If this order falls through it will be third time

Unlucky mate, They can only dispatch when they're in stock but I know how annoying it feels.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this card performs though, will throw a 3rd party cooler on the card and overclock it

Same here, but I gather said company ships pretty late (the MSI for instance is saying you have another 5 hours to order for delivery tomorrow)

edit - Did you have a 'we have taken your money' email too?

Think you made a good choice. If I was buying a 980Ti now, that would be the model I'd go for.

I thought so too, I would wait longer for alternatives but the price seems good and it more than suits my needs.

I looked at this at first wondering if it was some announcement on a new card. I bought a whole new build when this card (980TI) was released now the pieces are all sitting at home until the GPU arrives. It's hard work restraining myself from just opening everything and taking a look. I swear this wait is harder then when I was a child on Christmas Eve (strange metaphor but I feel it captures the anticipation.)

The Mad One · 9 Jun 2015 at 18:36

Arg, so not fair. At half four today I received an email to say my EVGA Reference is ready to collect (I work 2 miles from the ocuk shop), but by that time I had already left work to collect my kids.

Now I have to wait till tomorrow to collect at lunch then sit there and stare it while the rest of the day ticks by. *bangs head on desk*

Shows the support guys have no clue what is going on, I sent a web note last night asking for an ETA on the 980ti and another item that was out of stock, they replied that they have no eta on stock on either item. But low and behold my order was completed a couple of hours later. *face palm*

Seems OCUK have Gigabyte, Zotac and Asus cards in stock right now.

Seen three places offering pre orders on the EVGA Reference for £550. That's good, by the time I'm ready to order maybe a few more will too!

Yeah it's a bit lame when you see models with "in stock" prices going more expensive than a custom PCB card with +200 OC mode out of the box, big low rpm fans, cooler running and a better warranty than some brands too. For £50 more and a bit of patience my Hybrid should run up to 30c less at load and be silent.

toon_mad · 9 Jun 2015 at 19:04

Finally, mine has been despatched should get it tomorrow

Anyone willing to try some runs for me on 3DMark ?

I'm interested in Firestrike Ultra 4K (graphics score) for SLI GTX980Tis

1401/2000
1414/2000
1427/2000

Any or all would be fine

Quick run, +250 core + 500 memory over stock, boost held around 1420

Score 8586 GFX 9160

MSI 980 Ti gaming edition seems to be clocked pretty high compared to the rest. Zotac extreme amplified even higher, although I have no experience with Zotac as a brand.
Anyone looking out as well for EVGA 980 Ti classified?

PS: Whats with all the bags of Haribo with every 980 Ti picture lol. O_o

Doesn't matter on the overclock out of the box, seems every 980 TI is reaching at least +200mhz

Yeah, did get notifcation payment went, and that it should be going through warehouse for dispatch.

Fingers, toes, and bits crossed!

It's nice for some people to just have a hassle free stock Titan X beating speed out of the box. Not everbody is adept at OCing. Still have some users unsure of how boost clocks and the like works now and again. They can have peace of mind that it's built to use +200 all day and potentially run cooler and quieter as a bonus than reference models.

Techen · 9 Jun 2015 at 19:36

Hoorah, Second GPU came.
