I had 8800ultra SLI, didnt think much of them but i agree on the 9700 pro, combined with one of them insane overclocking AMD thoroughbreds was a kickass combo.

I love my 980 Ti but it's not my GOAT. That'd be the 9700 PRO, 8800 GTX (didn't own either), HD4870 and 5850 (the latter two having insanely good price/performance for their eras). Weirdly enough my faulty-from-the-start-but-didn't-realise-for-years X1950 PRO lasted me the longest.
The Voodoo was before my time but I can only imagine the difference that would have made.

Thats why i loved the 7950, so much better value. I bought my first one back in 2013 for £200 new, the 7970s were like £100+ ontop of that. So much bang for the buck, especially after they got the drivers sorted, i had a nice one too, i gamed at 1300/1900 but it would bench even higher.

My vote goes to the 8800 GTX.

My answer is always the same. So i'll quote it:
Mine doesnt. my 970 is fast running out of grunt. Max settings...id love to see deus ex maxed out, or the division on your rig. Bit-tech said Deus ex destroyed the 970 at 1080p. In fact it doesnt hold 60fps with medium settings, let along high / very high or ultra.

you know what you could be right.people mocked the 970 its 2 years old and still plays everything at 1080 maxxed.so really its been a great card.
another year in one yet.so 3 years at max settings at 1080 is pretty good for a card people claim is gimped.
see if a 480 is doing that for 3 years

The 9800pro seemed to be around for such a long time and was such a brilliant card. I had a 9600pro which was still considered a good card

Deus Ex MD is a very unoptimized game for how it looks. I agree that ultra is a stretch too far for a 970 in some games but it's still coping fairly well imo considering its cost when released.
I mean, look at the top end of the spectrum in the article you linked too. There's no way a 1080 should barely maintain 60fps.

fingers crossed I would like to get my hands on a 980ti to replace my 970
yip Ive still got one in use in the machine my son uses
mines used to benchmark great but I never found much of a difference in games using the crossfire coompared to the single card.Loved my 7950 Crossfire setup
I think my CPU was the bottle neck at the time ( FX6350 ) sold my second card and bought the FX8350.
would like to get a shot of a 2nd card to compare it with the FX8350 then the i7 4770k
