**Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review Thread**

[razorpakk]

MSI Gaming (to me) always looks like the best option price/performance wise.

 

[Jono8]

Are these prices around the same, or just slightly higher than the 980 launch prices?

£100+ more than 980 launch prices.

Just purchased mine, EVGA Reference. Are the Titan X blocks confirmed to be compatible with the 980Ti?

I'll know by the end of this week.

 

[Things change I've changed]

Hybrids are up for pre-order!! £649!! No ETA though.

Yes. The Titan X blocks will work on any reference card as the PCB is the same Has been confirmed by Gibbo in this thread a few pages back

Do these 980Ti come with a backplate?

£100+ more than 980 launch prices.

Did the prices inflate? Some of the 980's was over £500 not long ago. I bought mine £470.

Not the reference ones, the custom ones you will have to do some research.

my old cards somehow the reference design can overclocked more than brands design. i think its depend on luck .

It's always luck unless you buy a classy, that's why I haven't bothered with the SC card this time round. But I'll put the SC BIOS on for higher base clocks. But I am under water.

No? Some of the 980Tis are over £600.

The 980s seemed to start at about £430 at launch for reference designs (though other retailers had custom ones for around that/not much more). The 980ti is starting at about £540 for reference/non custom cards.

Basically around £100 difference in price. I suspect the 980 will now drop by anout £50-£75 across the range.

Woah just seen the AIO Evga go up on preorder. how do i cancel my MSI order so i can order that instead?

Will i have to ring up or something? its currently "in warehouse queue"??

5 year warranty on the Hybrid. If it was under £600 would be tempted tbh.

That's the one(s) I'll be going for in a few months time for a new build I reckon.

Have to say that's more reasonable pricing than I thought. I was fully expecting the basic ref cards to be £650 bang on.

£550 + 100 notes for the '980 hybrid cooler' (which is about what they cost direct from EU EVGA)? Plus it's all pre fitted so there's no messing about. Good stuff.

Not too sure on the colouring though. Perhaps some sort of black, 'beige', and silver case scheme might be in order. Would make a nice change from the usual adolescent neon day glo stuff I guess

 

[IT Troll]

Hmmm, prices need a bit of a trim me thinks.

 

[Simon Belmont]

980Ti? very close to £600.

I suspect the 980 will now drop by anout £50-£75 across the range.

They haven't yet?

 

[dromi]

Like on ANY other products price will be as high as ever on the first month or so. Just hold out for a bit

Yeyeyeyeye

hol' up, don't I get Batman:AK?! xD

 

[Nexus18]

Like others have said, smart move by nvidia with regards to their pricing strategy and when you get over the initial omg TX performance for £560?! and think about it, the 980 TI is still expensive for what it is as the TX should have never been £800+ in the first place.

Imo, the 980ti should take the current 980 pricing model of about £400/450 and as a result the 980 should drop to £300/350

Don't GPU's usually go up in price?
