**Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review Thread**

Cant see a price drop tbh, but if NVIDIA did decide to do so. It could hit AMD pretty hard. A lot of potential fury buyers have been put off after seeing reviews earlier and have opted for the Ti instead. A lower price could tempt a lot more.
 
Haven't they already dropped the price, im sure I seen one last week for £499 and even now reference designes are down to £510 well on OCUK anyway.

Sure they were more before unless that was just price gauging.
 
The 499 card was weekend only, 509 on reference is for week only iirc. Will go back up to 539. Price actually rose a bit on some, I preordered the msi gaming at 575, its now almost 600. G1 rose a bit too after its initial price.
 
Some tests of the MSI 980ti here, and comparison to G1, ACX2.0+ref

Polish website, therefore translator:p

Very quiet (with higher clocks than ACX2, same level of noise and temps), but they didn't have the best sample for overclocking as it looks (1417 max boost, compared to 1516 of the G1). Temps similar to jayz2c review~75C load.
 
Does the MSI gaming have a silent mdoe with the fans not spinning at idle like the G1 and Strix? I really do like that feature
 
Just posting back about a comment/question I made a couple of weeks ago regarding whether or not 8GB ram would be a bottleneck for this card as I remember seeing on the Nvidia site 16GB is recommended.

Well over the weekend I just fitted some new 2x8GB Avexir DDR3 memory and there is no difference from my early tests in Assassin's Creed Black Flag for example. I was getting occasional stutter in that game and thought 8GB might of been the cause, I guess it's either just a game or driver related problem but running Black Flag at 1920x1080 with everything at very high, SMAO, shadows normal, Physx off I expected a smooth 60fps but for some reason this is not the case.

Perhaps I was expecting much greater performance from this card.

There is 2pc, our system miss-reports B-grade stock levels are nearly all b-grade lines, no idea why but as B-grade accounts for like 0.1% business it is none important to us. :)

Not important to you but its quite annoying to order a b grade item, have the money taken from your account and then have to chase up why your order has moved up the warehouse queue in a week.:confused:

possibly.

coilwhine can be related to the psu though? the card might be fine in another system?

Yes that's pretty obvious. :rolleyes:

Just throwing out a suggestion. Maybe you could do the same. ;)

The G1 is well known for being one brand of 980Ti which suffers from coil whine hence my post.

I guess you're right, there's something about Ubisoft in the last couple of years releasing buggy unoptimized games but sadly it's not rare for most developers to push out similar games, it's too common these days for games to be released in such a mess, maybe if they did it properly people wouldn't have to spend so much money on upgrading there pc's just to run the games at a decent framerate - but I guess this is where they win and consumers fail, they know people will continue to spend £££'s on PC upgrades so in there minds buying new hardware makes up for there poor releases.
