Grab a TitanX you know you want to.

Finances say no to that amount Kaap.

Setter has to consult me first, were hardware brothers, I have what he has and so on

@setter, grab a single 980Ti + a gsync monitor

Lol, yep one card to start with and definitely need a new monitor. But also very tempted to switch to the new Z107 platform with a 6700k and ddr4. Gonna need a bit of overtime and sell on my existing kit.

AMD dipping into single digit market share?

Team green just can't stop pushing the knife in deeper

I don't think they'll drop that low, I hope not anyway. TX is the best card I've ever owned but I don't want to continue paying nearly a grand for something that's probably worth about £600 if nVidia had a decent competitor.

Consult pgi, he says single 980Ti and a ROG Swift Gsync monitor. I agree

Lol, but I allready have the Swift.

980Ti + ROG Swift = fap heaven

That where we're headed if AMD dont sort it out

For a high refresh rate junkie like myself, 2x 980TI SLI + RoG Swift = motion clarity heaven :cool:

If its priced good enough, its not that much more expensive then 1 Titan X.

But 1 Titan X will run most games better the SLI.

If you were talking 4K I would say 100% go for SLI but at 1440p on the ROG Swift I think a single 980Ti would do you good. Gregster has experience of GM200 GPU's in SLI and for him at 1440p the single TX was enough in the end.

If you love your fps really high though it won't hurt and should be much cheaper than TX SLI.

Gregster · 26 May 2015 at 21:37

It will be some time before I go SLI again.

Take it with a grain of salt, but i heard, it won't be that much cheaper than TX...at least until Fiji i think

They can't price it within £100 of a TX, the cheapest being £800, I'd wager it will be at the absolute most £650.

If it comes out at say £700, someone spending that kind of cash on a GPU will just look at spending the extra £100 to get the TX with a fully enabled part and 12GB vram.

970 = £210
980 = £379
980Ti = £549
TX = £800

Sounds about right to me

LoadsaMoney · 26 May 2015 at 22:00

Yeah if its going to be that close in price to the TX, then everyone will just buy that instead.

but not two 980Ti, because they'll be flipping miles more powerful than one TX .................but unfortunately they'll be miles more expensive too, 980Ti might be about £630

I heard it from a guy working at a wholesaler (not in the UK)..that he won't get it exactly because what you wrote.
UK prices could be different tho, thats why the grain of salt needed

GTX970 at £200ish would be tempting!!

no, they might buy a cheaper 390X instead and then go Xfire a month later........ :eek:

you missed that didn't you

Be incredible value for money - but would still have the 380/290X (presume 380X is going to be a refined 290x?) trading blows in that price bracket, which I imagine would suit AMD too as their upper mid range would crawl back over that £200 mark, not the £150 mark it currently is.

They'd have to shuffle pricing sooner or later to make room for the 980Ti, weather or not they do this before or after AMD's new addition I don't know.

Pricing HAS to have a nice gap between cards, if not they'll end up in an AMD 280 vs 290 situation, when it was completely stupid to go for a 280/x over a 290 for the £50 price difference.
