980 Ti OC vs Vega 56 OC

Best decision I made in years getting my 980ti. Beast of a card and the fact it can still box with the Vega's, 1070/80s makes it a winner.
 
Still on my acient 290. It's just about holding up at 2560x1440 with Freesync and it seems the new API's could give it an edge.
 
Its my favourite card I've ever owned. My 1080ti FTW3 had to go back to evga for an RMA, I still had my 980ti (never got round to selling it), so back in my rig it goes and I am sitting here wondering was it really worth it spending the wedge on the 1080ti. No question its faster but...........
 
Shocker... I kept saying this before the 1080ti came out. A 980Ti overclocked at 1500Mhz core kept beating a 1070. Paul's hardware did a video where a 1420Mhz 980Ti reference was faster than a 2ghz 1070 MSI Aftermarket card. So any aftermarket 980Ti would be able to hit 1450 and a lot did get to that 1500Mhz mark just unlucky people didn't quite get there. But that in mind the 980Ti OC vs 1070 OC the 980Ti was faster.

Even still it's giving a 1070 a run for its money. So not surprised tbh when a Vega 56 wins some and 1070 wins some that a 980Ti still hangs around.
 
I cannot get my 980TI [a Zotac super overclock model, forget the model name] to clock any higher than its factory settings, it was labeled as the fastest 980ti out of the box so maybe
thats it. I was wondering if I had missed some setting in afterburner, but I don,t know what it could be.
 
980Ti still a bloody good chip tbh! Just pair it with a nice 1440p Gsync screen and you're still set for a couple of years, possibly even skipping Volta altogether :cool:

Thoughts, honestly, I think maybe you are trolling a bit? Everyone here already knows how good the 980ti is. Nvidia's 1070ti will barely beat it, 2 1/2 years on, embarrassing really.

I'm not trolling, my point is the 1070 Ti isn't nvidias best card where as Vega 56 is just one under AMDs absolute best so it's embarrassing for AMD they can't 2 1/2 years later comfortably beat a 980 Ti with there best card

You won’t find many on here who don’t think that AMD dropped the ball massivly with Vega but even I’m getting bored of it now. TBH vega arrived at a time when it’s competition is about to get superseded. That’s the future now :cool:
 
It's why I'm still running my two 980Tis in SLI. 3440x1440 and they power through anything. Classic card the 980Ti.

Unlike most I have very few problems with SLI these days, for the games I'm playing anyway. Some of the newer big releases appear to be not supporting SLI on release which is a worrying trend though, but I tend not to buy any new games at release anymore, and by the time/ if I get round to it, SLI support is usually working.
 
just built a new machine (about 3 months ago) for a console in the living room. Grabbed a second hand 980ti for £200 as its a beast for the money. Its currently my second and i have to say that a second hand 980ti is much much better value than any current new card on the market. I really do hope cards start dropping in price soon although i see this whole mining thing an excuse for manufacturers and retailers to keep prices high going forward.

I wont be upgrading my 980ti's any time soon and will likely keep them a couple of years and see if things settle.

That card gets the longevity award in my book. It was a gtx780 competitor on release. Now they don't even show 780 results anymore. If the 980 ti is still holding up against Vega 56 2 years down the line or even beating it then it's in the same class but somehow I cant see it. In some the new games its taking quite a beating and in others its going toe to toe which is fair enough for the older card but these are not the latest and greatest games if we are being honest. Vega is designed for future games and I can only see it putting major distance between it and the 980ti. Way too early for a "look how amazing the old dog still is" type thread tbh.

Still running 980ti even at 4k, I can cope with 40fps and shadows on medium and maybe a coupe of others at high (thats how I run most games atm) Only thing im missing is HEVC decoding! Maxes gpu and cpu playing a 4k file. TV plays them fine through emby server so not to fussed as of now.

That's a one off chip and it's not exactly beating the stock clock 1080, It's more like matching it.
Which in itself is amazingly good but let's be honest how many 980ti owners can hit such a clock? 1% if that?
I'm not sure what model 1080 they're using but overclocking one card so high and not the other isn't a fair fight
and as people are always saying why not overclock it's extra performance for free.
