Probably a daft question, but is there any point upgrading to this card from a 980Ti that does 1404MHz out of the box?

can only see it if your chasing after frame rates on 1440p/4k monitors . Most Ti owners holding out for Ti version or went for Titan model .
very very good deal but recommend looking at latest game bench reviews to see if you'll be gaining anything and sell rates of the Ti cards
 
I have been holding out for the Ti, but there are gathering rumours there may not be one. I'm happy to wait a few months for a theoretical Ti or 11xx series if the performance is right.

I'm gaming at 1440p (with Gsync), and most games have been running well, Deus Ex MK being the exception that required dropping a few settings. With the current state of new titles such as Dishonored - which I've held fire on - it seems brute force is the best way to overcome poorly tuned games.

I'd decided to skip 1080 at launch, and did seriously consider the Titan XP but if there's nothing on the horizon was considering the Gigabyte as it's by far the cheapest 1080 there's been. I think in the end though it's just not enough of a jump over my current 980Ti to justify even at this price.

I should also clarify that both the wife and I are gamers and maintain identically spec'd PC's, so any upgrade would be to both and hence double the cost. Resale value of 980Ti's is now pretty miserable too, but is unlikely to get much worse I suppose.
 
the current deal would save you a bit, specially Ti- what ever happens- pound could be lower or could be higher, same would sale with the 11** when Art 50 would have been triggered and could be reaching the implementation time.

seems its also 200 units being sold
 
we not allowed to hint but i will tell you from watching and reading reviews that most gigabyte cards are suffering from severe coil whine.

checked many sites and many of their cards are suffering from it.evga have dropped prices across the ranges also because of the scare.so is that to regain customers or is there a issue ?

blowers tend to be 5-10 degrees hotter and louder.so i wouldnt touch them unless in a dell type ready built scenario or...you just want the cheapest card and dont mind the downfalls.

what i learnt from Evga and the 970 issues is they often do a first run then if issues then do a new 2.0 or whatever.shortly after.
