If I go this route, it will be my first ever dual card SLI setup.
My main worry is excessive input lag, wich I am very sensitive to. Although seeing benchmarks in the net, SLI improves frametime to up to 7-16ms. I'm not sure tbh, I haven't seen anyone provide details extensively enough about user based experience with SLI.

Yup, that's my worry, input lag and micro-stutter. Although it's been almost a decade since I last tried SLI. For all we know we're just being overly cautious.

All I want is Witcher 3 on full ultra with a stable over 60fps on my SWIFT.

Did you you miss the part when I mentioned the Windforce on the 970 was great but that's because the tdp is so low? Again yes when you slap it in more power hungry cards the fans will ramp up more. Particulary when you go SLI with said powerful cards. We both have obviously had different experiences based on the fact that my single 970 Windforce would hardly go over 59 degrees while being inaudible for me. Double up with almost 200w more heat to dissipate is a completely different situation.

I missed nothing whatsoever.

I am labouring the point to prevent others doing what I did & get suckered in by their marketing BS. The triple fan design they use is a real cheap & nasty piece of junk like you said your 970 is below 59 degrees once it hits 60% fan RPM the noise is obscene & 65-70% is just pathetic considering its supposed to be a premium HSF its not premium only in price :rolleyes:
 
So, it all rests on the pricing...


Are nvidia gonna pull our pants down and charge £650, or even £700?

A Titan X with half the vram for £550 would be very nice indeed, c'mon Nvidia - give us a nice price!

i have a wf3 on my 7950 and yes it does ramp up at 60c but i dont find it intrusive (although i do have it in a FD r2 case under my desk)

Don't buy 2x 980TI for 60fps. 1 should suffice for 60 fps I'm pretty certain. I maxed Witcher 3 everything on Ultra except foliage distance on High. Around 45-60fps on oc'ed GTX970 2560x1440. Hairworks disabled.
980 TI looks like it will be almost, almost twice as fast as the 970 when oc'ed especially.

If you are a high refresh rate addict like me, then definitely yes 980 TI SLI can make an attraction and be future proof as well. The way I see it, 6GB vram should be enough, by the time its not, DX12 will allow for vram stacking.
 
First benchmark is in!

A single 970? I call BS unless you can post definitive proof. Also everything at Ultra but not foliage or gameworks on is not full Ultra.

Gregster recently uploaded a video with his Titan X overclocked by 380-400Mhz staying over 60-70fps without hairworks, and not being able to get 60fps with Hairworks on at Ultra at 1440p. This wasn't even in combat where it matters most.

Why would Nvidia bring 980Ti up to Titan X performance? What the hell is wrong with you Nv? They must have been high as a kite when they made that decision.:confused:

Now if they do make another Titan gpu most will stay away.

Same thing happened with the 780ti more or less. Less ram but performance was the same or better.
 
NVIDIA launches GeForce GTX 980 Ti for 649 USD

NVIDIA officially introduces new graphics card in GeForce 900.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti — Big Maxwell for the masses

GTX 980 Ti becomes the fifth unanswered GPU launch: GTX 970, GTX 980, GTX 960, GTX TITAN X, GTX 980 Ti — all these cards were not met with any response from AMD. However, next month AMD is planning to unveil its new Fiji silicon, hopefully causing some disturbance in enthusiast segment.

What’s interesting is that Fiji already made NVIDIA change its policy towards TITAN-X custom cooling solutions. Are custom TITAN-Xes and custom GTX 980 Tis enough to compete with Fiji XT and Fiji PRO respectively?

The GTX 980 Ti is not the flagship card. It’s a cut-down chip with 256 CUDA cores missing from the Maxwell GM200 silicon.
It is not a huge difference, NVIDIA even left the same number of ROPs (96), so they took a different path from GTX 970, were some ROPs turned out to be disabled (few months after it was released). With only 256 CUDA cores and 16 TMUs missing the difference should only be observed in ultra-high-definition tests.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti comes with the same reference cooling solution as GTX 980. I am not aware of any changes in design, other than adopting it for PG600 board.
