I replaced 780 sli with a 980ti, performance was pretty similair but no sli niggles, and a lot less heat.780SLI is around the R9 390X level? thats great, I'm in for a real decent gain then!! For some reason i thought it was about the same as 970SLI lol

I'd heard/read it's roughly on par with a 980ti as well, minus of course as you say any SLI related issues.
If thats the case I dont think GTX780SLI performance is as low as an R9 390X as kylew_is_back informs me
Looking at benchmarks on Google the 780ti and 970 seem almost on par, and the 780ti was'nt THAT much faster than a regular 780!

I am actually talking about performance in games, and not some benchmarks like 3D mark that have near 100% scaling.If thats the case I dont think GTX780SLI performance is as low as an R9 390X as kylew_is_back informs me
I could get one for free from the sale of my 980ti bag an extra 2gb ram and buy another for sli
Win win...
This is good news...
All depends on price....
Either way if you got a good price for your 980ti you've lost nothing only gained
If sli support has improved theese could be a good choice to pair up. Though from reading various threads on here lately, both sli and xfire support seem to be a bit iffy.I could get one for free from the sale of my 980ti bag an extra 2gb ram and buy another for sli

You should know you ran 780sli for ages...

I'll be waiting for one with a non-reference cooler that doesn't throttle back after 10 minutes at full load the .

*Saw the graphic and bench result
*Predict the Nvidia pulled their good old approach of chopping the CUDA core counts but increase the stock clock speed to make the card look better like 670->760 and Titan X->980Ti when in fact they are slower clock for clock
*Click on link to see article
*Confirm what I predicated and see core clock speed increase from 1607MHz to 1860MHz (thus reducing the overclocking margin available to user comparing to the 1080) for the sake of showing off better performance in all the benchmark for "stock" performance
You are getting a bit too predictable now Nvidia
Assuming both the 1080 and 1070 can overclock to 2150MHz (I'm not talking about FE, but custom cards that will eventually avoid the temp throttling), 1080 overclocking from 1607MHz to 2150MHz is 33% overclock, where as 1070 overclocking from 1860MHz to 2150MHz is just 15% overclock- which is less that half the overclocking headroom comparing to the 1080.
Comparing an overclocked 980Ti to an overclocked 1070 instead of stock vs stock, or dropping the 1070's clock speed to same as 1080, the 980Ti is probably going to beat it, assuming Nvidia won't have amnesia about the need of optimising for cards that are previous gen for new and upcoming games.

Got shot of them a year ago as support was getting very bad. That and they ran too hot. When it works well sli is great. Unfortunately your at the mercy of how game developers/nvidia back it up.
Surely they have no intention of leaving it behind now they have introduced sli HB for pascal?

Impressive though overclocked vs overclocked I can see the 980 Ti edging it out unless custom cards can get to 2.2ghz+ then the 1070 will again edge out a Ti
I would hope not, as like i mentioned previously. I really like sli when it is properly implemented/supported. Ive owned quite a few sli setups over the years and on the whole it has been good. But sometimes unfortunately there are problems.

Yea...the 1070 has been clocked 16% higher clock than the 1080 to make it look more impressive and for the sake of beating the stock 980Ti and Titan X

Yea, but it is at the potential cost of losing Async performance (since 1070 doesn't seem to have hardware support for it).
If it was me, I'd wait for both camps to show their hands before opening up the wallet. And also 40% is still not a huge upgrade, so you might as well wait for Fat Pascal and see what happen.
