**Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review Thread**

I bet AMD have never been so annoyed. Bang goes their pencilled $749 asking price.

Noice. Not going to upgrade yet though, not with a 60hz monitor and the inbound Kepler driver. Plus I take delivery of my Schumacher Cougar today and the weather is about set to get warm so maybe I'll look again this winter :)

Yeah they did take too long to release the card and it became a bit of a joke with them not even offering any information to counter the froth coming from Nvidia fanboys mouths any time any card is released. A bit of info this close to them losing market share would be nice instead of delaying the initial revealing at computex, sad but PR wins the day when people have a lot of spare cash and very little patience. Smart people should realise Nvidia are killing off there own premium card just to get a tiny bit ahead but a lot are just frothing at the mouth and thinking later lol.

Perhaps so, but Nvidia's rapid move to pre-empt the 390x is quite telling. If their only answer is to release their Titan-killer at the "reasonable" price instead of the full-on premium, then it looks like we are going to get some serious competition in the high-end space shortly. I have even greater interest in what the 390x can do now...

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

Than that is too much.

I can order an EVGA hybrid version direct from them, for just under £500 ($750), which I may or may not have to pay tax on (last time I bought a graphics card in the form of a gtx 980M from the USA, I never had to pay nothing). Even if I do pay tax, that is still £600 for a 'high grade' version of the card. Not a nasty hot noisy reference model.

If you order from the EU EVGA site you don't have to pay extra tax.

Well thankfully I'm in a position to just completely wait it out and wait for the price war to be over before even looking at these new cards again.

TBH I think it's high time I started using common sense again because I've been void of it for so long. Sick of wasting money so I'm going to wait until my cards don't cut it any more.
 
Wow I am seriously surprised at the price. I was expecting £650+ but £550 is simply too good to resist even though that is a very high premium for a top end GPU in my opinion!

Had my gaming build for a few months now without a GPU, waiting for the 390x to come out but I just think I'll go with a 980ti for some 4k gaming and then add a second later on in the year which should keep me 4k gaming for a good 2/3 years I hope.

I've read in here that EVGA seem to be the best brand for the cards because of their UK support, is this true?

And is there any particular model of 980ti you guys recommend as it's my first GPU I'm ever buying!

Also would my EVGA 1000W PSU be ok for 980ti SLI in the future?
