**Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review Thread**

the 295x2 seems to benchmark better apart from the obvious witcher/cars debacle and it's cheaper, not sure why everyone is raving.

It's a single GPU with comparable performance to the 295X without multi-gpu profile headaches and an extra 2GB of vram. What's not to like there.

It does make me wonder what AMD have got planned though if Nvidia have gone all out performance wise. The next few weeks should be really interesting.

Had the 295x2 and yes the performance is epic when scaling properly but it's more than disappointing when GTAV hitches and stutters and new releases often come with no day one support. The actual user experience can differ greatly from seeing a high fps number in cherry picked games.
 
Wishful thinking if you think this is going to come out at £550, will be price gouge central.
 
Quick calculation shows prices starting at £570 thats dollar to pound + vat.

So expect pcpartner to hit around £570 and evga + ASUS to hit £600 - £620.

TBH, this has really made me curious to see what AMD's upcoming card will be like, there is no way nvidia would release a card, which performs as good as a TX at this price and pretty much kill the TX of this early without a good reason...

The good reason could be to put AMD in a world of pain, rumours on here about Fury costing £700-800 well assuming it has roughly the same performance as 980Ti (probably better at 4k but only 4GB) they're going to need to sell it for considerably less now which wouldn't be good business for AMD especially with the AIO cooler that will add additional cost.
 
Is it worth picking up 2 980's if they drop in price for or go for the 980ti as i game at 1440p and my 780 struggles?

If this is 550 or 600 (evga acx), I'll sell my TX and buy two. Though I would be extremely surprised if this is the case.
 
What cards do everyone usually go for and why? Reference/Non-Reference? And if Non-Reference which brand, Asus, EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI etc?
 
Just a few Questions: Would a GTX980Ti be a good upgrade on a 780Ti or should I wait for this new - Generation Pascal with 3D Stacked Memory?

For my new build: Should I go for a after market cooler or the stock nvidia blower exhausting hot air out the back?

DX12: If I do go for the 980Ti will it be full fat DX12 ready... or is that less of a hardware & more of a driver update.

I would go for the single 980Ti if I were you. The 980Ti excels at 1440p and will be a vast improvement on your 780.
