To save chumpsters falling for the 980ti bizarre acquisition

Get some deals going on the gtx 1070 :cool:

You could just ask if some deals are incoming without being a **** about it.

But you have a GTX 1080 in your Sig why you need 1070?

I sold that 970 for a gtx 780

Figured I'd save a few quid and only lose 500mb of ram

My eyes are always opened, but we missed out on the bulk of cheap 1070 stock being sold at a loss by a distributor in financial troubles.

We did bag the 1080's and RX 480 stocks though.

Will see if any 1070 deals come along.

Dont see how a 980Ti can be a bizarre acquisition. Its going cheap some places and even cheaper second hand. Clocks up and past a 1070 so its slightly faster. So saving quite a few quid for 2Gb less money and it consumes slightly more power and produces slightly more heat can be a nice trade off for some who have a tight budget.

No need to be an ass and call people chumpsters.

no one is saying 980TI is not a solid card. It is and if you have one it will serve you well for quite some time. Several people here are making the point that it's not worth buying one for the sake of saving £30-50 or even a bit more, not when a 1070 is not much more. There is literally no valid reason. More memory, newer architecture, less power, cooler, warranty, all these things are worth more than a meagre false saving.
