Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Coming This Summer Featuring 3072 CUDA Cores and 6GB of GDDR5

I went from 980 SLI to Titan X. tbh games run better on single gpu so I went with the best. This should hold me until pascal or longer. SLI is just a pain in the ass

Is it still? The last time I used SLI was with the 7950GX2. Crossfire has been nothing but hell each time I tried it.

Thing is it seems you need a Titan X with a 390+Mhz OC to get a constant 60fps in the Witcher 3 at 1440P Ultra without Hairworks.
That's still not great.

Ummmmm, temped to whack my 980 up now before I lose too much value on the card, for the sake of being without a card few a few weeks it could save me a good £100 or so.

Spending an extra £200 or so on the TX if you don't need the VRAM is £200 wasted and doing exactly what NV want.

So much choice for my new gaming build!

980ti
970 sli
390x
390
Fury
290x sli

Looking to spend around £500 for a decent 4k experience, I would prefer a single card solution though so I really hope this 980ti isn't hugely expensive..

Who say's it'll be a £200 difference? The leaked prices from EVGA's domain lists the Reference 980Ti at $798.
That means around £700, not including pre-order prices, and possible gouging.

There's no point in the card even existing if it's going to be near the TX price. It exists to get people who can't stretch to a TX to spend more than a 980. Stranger things have happened mind.

This will fall in line with past ti pricing so $700.

Currently got a sing r9 290x under water, and running a 750w powers supply.
I have about 450 + parts sales to upgrade my graphics solution.

Options looking like
2nd 290x + waterblock+power supply
GTX 970 sli
GTX 980ti
New AMD Fiji card
If I got a second 290x I'd need a new power supply and obviously couldn't sell the one I have but 970sli or any singly card wouldn't need to be under water or require a new PSU.
I have a mg279q on order to but I think the generally better nvidia drivers and frame rate locking options make up for the limited vrr window anyway.
What do you guys think ?

Will the TI have similar temp and noise levels compared with the TX?

Reference probably will.

Looking forward to what the aftermarket ones can do, should see some very good scores if they can hit 1600mhz like 980's.

This is what I need to hear.

Is this at 2560x1440?

JediFragger · 30 May 2015 at 13:18

I'm also being tempted to switch to one of these, and to add another after the Summer

CLASSIFIED BOYS!

Although it will probably cost the same as a TX

"I love high-end hardware as much as the next guy, but I also don't like to feel like a mug buying something."

Yes, I have £500 burning a hole in my pocket, running a very old card and need to upgrade.

See what next week brings, if the ti. is £600 plus and the 980 remains at the same price
minus the two games. I wont be buying.

Don't find the processes of buying as fun as I once did and I don't come with a sign on my back that says I am gamer milk me.

I suspect this may be the last expensive card I buy, or I may have already bought my last high end card and may just spend the money elsewhere, pick up a cheaper card.

Or future proofing so you don't have to spend more money when you want to high res/refresh.

ASUSROG from their Facebook.

Daaamn Asus! :eek:

I'm a sucker for good looking hardware. Would fit my black/red theme perfectly.

Possible silly question, but are OCuk cards manufactured by NV and then just stuck in an OCuk box?
