**Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review Thread**

[Brutus]

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.

Major NA retailer selling the EVGA SC+ now @ 680$, so guess we could see 550-580 here.

I have everything crossed for an OCUK reference version at £499

It's a big ask, but you never know

When are these getting released?

14.00hrs today

What cards do everyone usually go for and why? Reference/Non-Reference? And if Non-Reference which brand, Asus, EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI etc?

EVGA due to their amazing RMA service. They're the closest to old BFG I've experienced.

I've owned a good few PNY cards, but they've never failed so do like them in that regard. Never dealt with their support before though. I still have PNY GTX 470 and 580 running daily under constant load.

Going for reference or non depends on my use case. in my H440 chassis I would prefer reference to help with airflow and get hot air out, as opposed to non that blows air into the chassis.

Card ready here as well. I just hope the price gouging is on a minimum. I want to order two today, but pay day is tomorrow haha. I don't want to wait.

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.

I get £512 at $650 to pound + vat.

I think 980Ti reference will be £649 or higher. We'll know soon enough?

 

[agnes]

I can't wait much longer! haha. Come on 2pm!

 

[RavenXXX2]

I think 980Ti reference will be £649 or higher.

nope

 

[Digital X]

Would it be worth upgrading from my card? I can't see it being a huge enough improvement to warrant the price personally. I see people are going from 290X's even. I play at 4K btw.

This won't be a "jump and grab at 2pm" but a future purchase.

Have you not seen the benchmarks?

But no one actually knows properly as no one has one yet.

 

[Simon Belmont]

nope

I hope you're right?

I take it a Titan X waterblock will fit this gpu?

 

[Digital X]

Savage, Yes I've seen the benchmarks they're in the OP, I just wanted people's opinions.

Damn straight it is worth upgrading. Almost double the performance of the 290X in some games.

 

[Skynet5]

What if the AMD cards are not as good? Or something about them puts buyers off? These 980 Ti could go up in price if AMD don't compete, maybe I need to buy 2 today!

nope

I hope you're right?

You might be slightly chuffed with yourself if it's closer to the £780 you paid for the TX?

I expect ocuk to have a starting price of £600.

Because unlike the 295x2 this card has drivers that actually work

Looking at the nvidia driver threads for the last 2 driver updates, I wouldn't quite say that...

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.

Perhaps!
