He's preordered one (a 1070) already.
As for £200 980ti's, if (and I know it's an if) the RX480 lives up to the hype and expected launch price then the 980ti will have to drop in value, I'm no AMD fan, far from it but, if I can get a new card with warranty that matches or betters a 980ti for ~ £200 - £250 then why would I consider a used 980ti at a similar price? I won't no matter how much I like Nvidia cards and have been happy with my current 580's.
Time will tell.

Price cuts are welcome & it's good to see OCUK doing this but seriously the gtx980ti should not be more than £350 given the gtx1070 pricing. Accept someone wanting to go SLI (which from personal experience I would not recommend) there would appear very little point buying a gtx980ti over gtx1070.
I'll hold out & wait for further drops.

Let me correct that for you.. The MM has become a joke place to sell anything due to the vulture tactics. The real world prices are on Ebay and CEX (what they sell at not what they buy at for CEX as they are vultures too) not a little forum with some silly people on trying to dictate what the prices are for items.
I doubt I will ever use the MM to sell anything anymore because of this. Until the Dons sort out the silly low balling behaviour there.

LOL... is all I have to say.. keep trying harder. If you want a 980ti now is the time to grab a new one, end of July they will be back up to the price before, Nvidia is giving retailers £100 for every card they sell at the moment. So the real price is still £500 for a basic 980Ti and the retailers make zero loss as Nvidia is funding this for now trying to help them clear stocks. After July they are back to what they were originally and some models will go up from the original price as they know people will want to grab a 2nd for SLI and a lot of people don't buy 2nd hand graphics cards. I have never purchased a 2nd hand computer part that is not proven to be brand new and never used and from a very trusted person.
Reasons being many overclock the hell out of parts not knowing what they are doing and in most cases caused some damage and trying to flog a damaged part that has intermittent faults due to their silly overclocks. Have you seen all them cards with the drivers resetting or doing the odd funky thing ? Guess what most of them are damaged by user error with overclocking, most honest users will tell you that started once they messed about with overclocking and using unlocked VBIOS they loaded on the cards. I have never had a card ever do that unless I caused some issue with the software or Windows and it is not a hardware fault then.
Also I have been on the look out for a 2nd EVGA 980Ti CLASSIFIED to SLI and not one has sold (real sale from UK, NOT the USA sales as they will get taxed as they come into UK so still costing over £450) for under £450 on Ebay.
Lets try this and see on the MM, I'm about to stick a wanted thread for a EVGA 980Ti CLASSIFIED and lets see how many jump up to sell and what they ask for it. Anyone here wanting to sell one here is the link :-

Stock vs stock = the 1070 is just a touch faster or about the same or a touch slower depending on game.
OC model vs Oc Model = The 980Ti is faster.
Max oc vs Max oc = The 980Ti is faster by a large margin, 10% of a 1080.
1080 max oc vs max oc 980Ti= the 1080 is 10-15% faster on average and rare odd game 20% faster.

Forget all this OC nonsense.
The 1070 is slightly faster whilst using 80 watts less power.
Latest tech will only get faster especially in DX12.

Does anyone know how 980ti sli matches a single 1080 gtx? I know sli scaling isn't always supported or 100%, but where it is, whats the % difference between to 2 setups?
I think for someone looking for pure power, £300 to £400 for a second 980ti would beat a single 1080 gtx surely? If someone is buying new a single 1080 gtx would be the best option, but if someone already had a 980ti and had a spare £300 to £400 it would be the more powerful setup wouldn't it?

You can't forget all the OC stuff as the 1070 and 1080 came at reference super overclocked out of the box as the 980Ti didn't. So in REAL world use oc vs oc the 980Ti beats a 1070 and is marginally slower than a stock 1080.
It isn't latest tech though it is a Maxwell die shrink with a few minor changes so it could be used at 16nm and the odd error removed from Maxwell as Intel does with stepping. The rest of the so called updates are all software based not hardware.
Thankfully this will make sure the Maxwell generation don't get gimped as they are practically the same architecture. Pascal is nothing more than that. We were meant to have Volta now a real new architecture compared to Maxwell, but they fell behind and used Maxwell and shrunk it to make an unplanned chip called Pascal. That is the reality of this generation.
The only reason to buy a 1070 and not a 980Ti is if you need 8GB VRAM and hardly any games use 4GB .. Lets get real and I'm talking about resolutions of 3440x1440 and 4K here.
980Ti SLI distroys 1080 single card.
Many reviews on the internet showing this. Google some and you will see.

To be honest, that's what I would have thought. The only people I can see who are wanting to drive the prices down of used Ti's are the people after a second for the more powerful setup. As otherwise you would go for a 1070 or 1080 (if a bit more flush).
I myself have 980ti sli setup, and really until a single card can match it I don't really see a need to upgrade. I have considered selling and getting the single 1080, but as the prices are inflated and the downgrade in performance I don't think would be worth it.
I think the single card vs single card is obvious the newer tech would beat it, but I think that argument is overshadowing the fact that existing 980ti owners can spend between £300 to £400 and have a more powerful setup.

There will be £200 980ti's at some point 
Maybe not just yet, but once the 1080ti hits, and AMD release their cards at good prices, the cascade effect will mean a lot of price reductions down through the older cards on the second hand market.
My 780 does a decent job currently, I won't pay more than £200 for a second hand video card, I can sit and wait patiently
I'm no longer one of those people who chase the shiny new items just because they are the latest and greatest. I upgrade when I need more performance and then I look around at what gives me the performance I need at a price I'm prepared to pay.

of course it may happen at some point, but 780's are only just hitting that point 2 generations later. Again, I think comparing amd /new NVidia cars is pointless, only if looking to swap your existing setup. Otherwise the better setup would still be a second 980ti at the £300+ mark, or wait another year or so for the 980ti £200 ones with hardly any warranty remaining.

I don't think many 980ti's will sell second hand at much over £300 currently. I mean why would anyone buy one for much more when a 1070 is only a bit more money, is newer tech, has more ram and is brand new and not second hand?
If my 780 gave out and I had to buy a new card quick, I'd lean towards a 1070 rather than a second hand 980ti at current prices.
Although to be honest I'd probably just bag another cheap 780 off the mm at the moment
Although I do have a nice fat bonus burning a hole in my pocket currently

Not really. You get the odd derisory offer but in general its about right and dont foeget will always be 10% less than Ebay due to fees etc.
Of course people are more clued up on this forum rather than the blind monkeys on Ebay.
At the moment people are bidding up and buying same model 980ti for more money used than you can currently buy new from ocuk. Are you suggesting that MM members should offer you more than new for your second hand card?
Just cause there are idiots on Ebay, that doesnt make it the proper going rate/value of the item.
And equally I have seen quite a few people on here buy 980ti privately for much less than what people want for them on MM atm and esp Ebay. Ebay are just joke prices atm but great if you are selling. With the recent price drops people are expecting too much money for their 980ti on MM atm. I mean really, who thinks a 9 month old second hand card which costs £399 new atm is still worth £370? That was a valid price until last week when there were still £619 new.

not true. At max OC on both cards the 1070 trade blows with the 980ti and still has a 12% lead in The Division which might be a sign of things to come that the 1070 will become faster in all new games over a 980ti and the 1080 OC still has a healthy 20% lead as well.
