**Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review Thread**

I don't need to respond to you shankly, at least one of us has tried both sides of late (being an ex 295x2 owner myself :)). You?

Therefore I can post my opinion without prejudice :)


edit - And yes, my gripes are with Crossfire. My nVidia cards are almost out of protest!! Used to love ATi, ever since the Rage Fury days :) Just pretty ****ed off with AMD running it all down to how it used to be, damn layoffs in the wrong departments etc. Sickening

It will be more or less the same for the reference cooled ones.

Mostly yes but you'll always get some cards running quieter or louder than others, how leaky the gpu is and thermal paste application play into it as well.

Might be worth waiting on the hybrid version, or just see hat third party coolers bring. But it does seem nvidia have almost run out of headroom on this particular heatsink design if the current 2 cards (tx and ti) are noticeably noisier than past cards.
 
Not sure where people are getting £500/550 prices for the 980ti. No such indication based on the US prices. More like £650/700 and considering you can actually get a titan X for under 800 nowadays, there isn't as big a chasm as people think.

The titan X is better, there is just no doubt about it (even though performance-wise they are close). Seems a 4-5% performance difference between the two. Also, in multi-monitor/4k gaming scenarios, my money would still be on the TX. Whether people think that the price/performance ratio is worthwhile, that is entirely up to them. We had a similar discussion when the 780 came out after the original Titan.

It was mentioned in one of the many reviews.

You should maybe watch the reviews. Ttl states the uk msrp of the 980ti £550. So it is £300+ difference. I think the technical word for that kinda difference is a chasm. Why are you looking at us prices when uk ones are confirmed. Also titan x and 980ti are an even match in gaming benches, look at linus and ttl reviews. Ttl found his sample to beat a tx. Ive also not seen a tx below £800, think they are £850+ on here

I'd be expecting more around £580, "just cause" (supply and demand, exchange rate, possibility of a meteor hitting the cart it came on from china, etc etc etc).
 
The bigger story here isn't the 980ti, its the fact its essentially a titan x for nearly half the cost.

:rolleyes: TX is £699 + shipping if you shop wisely - has been for a good while already. £149 extra does not equal to "nearly half the cost" and buys you 6GB of VRAM and a full, uncut chip. Dunno, could be worth it for some, definitely not "redundant" as you guys seem to be quick to claim. :rolleyes:
 
Indeed. But now i feel like i need to upgrade my poor little CPU because ermm.. well.. There's no reason :(

Ha, I'm running a little ol' i5 3570k at 4.2Ghz on a tiny Z77 mATX board. Alas! Neither have provided anywhere near a bottle neck unlike my 780. I almost bought a 980 tonight... SO glad I was told about the 980ti.

I doubt you can "shop wisely" and save over £100 when all the competition is that much higher.
The CHEAPEST titan X in the UK from a repuatable site I have seen is £825 excluding a tenner shipping, with one being £790 from someone I have never heard of. I searched every single PC part retailer in the UK I know of, I would list them but this forum has that anti-competition rule.

Nothing in it performance wise that leaves the extra 6gb of ram that is sitting there in cobwebs.

Looks redundant to me at the cost difference.

No different to what happened with 780s and Titans. Didn't affect the price of the Titan at all (no more than general ageing does anyway). Also didn't prevent people who wanted/needed Titans from buying them, just like it won't with TXs.
