Is the 980ti making the 980 obsolete?

I'd be gutted loosing 150 on a card in a few weeks
Me too. I only "lost" £150 in total after selling my 3x 970's which I bought back in september (much cheaper than they are now.).
Actually you are right... £500 to £1000 is not a "whole lot" ... it is double the amount...
The original titan wasn't for gamers , and as for the X , it's still geared towards developers or more scientific uses for those that need the vram . But if you want to count That fair enough , and the performance is still offerd for less than that so this could go round in circles .

Who has this happened to?
Pretty sure the titan X is a gaming card and not aimed at anything else, the original Titan was more than a gaming card tho.
I actually sold my 980 to step up to a Titan X, which was DOA. Once I got my refund I got 2 980Ti's.
The 980Ti just makes so much more sense, especially compared to overclocked aftermarket 980s.
I think the 980 needs more of a price drop to make more sense as a purchase.

I like to tell it how it is
AMD are that slow they are meeting themselves on the way back, leaving Nvidia free to rebrand a 960 as a 980, it's AMD's fault!

The 980 was always intended to be a mid-end card masquerading as a high-end flagship due to AMDs shortcomings. It was sold (and still is) at rip-off prices - not worth its real value.

Of course it was, otherwise it would have never have sold in absolute droves.

Was really tempted with the 980 before the 980 Ti came out, if I'm spending £350-400 on a card I think oh well might aswell pay an extra £150 or so and get the Ti then won't need to upgrade again for a very long time, have left it long enough as it is 
Looking forward to going back to the green team... lol

The GeForce GTX Titan X is their enthusiast card and not as such gaming card. Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang says so himself. 2min 41 sec into the video he talks about Titan X vs 980Ti.
A gamer can buy it and game on it sure , just like the last , but it's still not marketed to gamers . It's there for professionals that need the vram
It's not a bad deal ... But it's a lot for what it is ... A tad faster than a 970 that you can get for 240 squids...
Why do you think people are selling them in droves ??? They all want ti
