Yeah, the 980 Ti needs to be significantly cheaper than the 1070 to make sense really. The 1070 has 2GB more VRAM, lower power consumption and ongoing driver support on its side, whilst offering the same level of performance. The 980 Ti being a former flagship (or close enough) is irrelevant really. You wouldn't buy a 780 Ti in 2016 just because it was once the best card around.
This. It it is irrelevant now. I really am not sure why you would buy a 980Ti for £400 right now, unless you have to have a card ( seen as 1070's are like rocking horse poo)

was planning the dell gsync yes...atm i have no sync benq 144hz 1080p
but you need to ask yourself, DO YOU NEED TO UPGRADE.
No, but a shiny new card always lifts the spirits
It's pointless though
Anyone buying a 980ti for more than 300 needs to have a word with themselves TBH...

I mean if you want a card that you can put on water and overclock as much as possible it could be argued the 980Ti is the better option.
... But then you mightaswell just get a 1080
So by this logic that 8800gtx ultra I have in the cupboard with it 512 bus is uber high end today and far superior to either the 1080 or the 980ti?
You can't play die size or memory bus width... a faster card is still faster card regardless of it's architecture or design
People seem to struggle with this...
All that is happened is the goal posts have moved
Gimped pascal with a gimped bus and gimped cores can beat last gen un gimped architecture
I disagree that the 1080 is a gimped product. Sure NVIDIA could have released a big die Pascal chip first but would it make any business sense to do so?
If you have any idea about r+d costs and markets the answer is a clear no.
The 1080 is a fully enabled gp104 die the 1070 is a somewhat gimped product, based on cut down version of the same die
Rather ironically the 980ti was a gimped gpu being based on a cut down version of the Titan x die!!
Still I guess much like 'mid range' I will have to get used to a new definition of 'gimped' which now apparently means there's a product with a bigger die/ and or memory bus coming at some point perhaps... In the future
Not the more usual use of the term to mean 'something which has been partially disabled or restricted'
I have got a 980gtx in my system if it's comparable as you say to a 1080 fancy a no cash exchanged swap?
