**Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review Thread**

What's the estimated delivery date?

There isn't one seeing as its the weekend, won't get processed until Monday. Hoping I got in whilst they still had stock, went for UPS Express delivery seeing as all that did was bump up the cost to what I'd be paying getting it from here. I don't care what day of the week it comes next week, as long as it comes.

This is the first time I've ordered from OcUK for brand new hardware and it's been a shambles, admittedly it isn't OcUKs fault that Nvidia are doing such an appauling job at getting supply out to the EU.
 
I'm having second thoughts about going 980 Ti SLI.

I'm playing at 3440x1440 60hz without GSync, so minimum frames are really important. Overclocking these cards can result in a 10 FPS increase, so minmums might be comparable with two stock 980s.

I might just switch to a hydrocopper and finally custom cool my entire system.

To be fair it's always the same when a new card launches and their isn't much stock about. Just have to wait it out...:(

I'd be a lot more patient about it all if I actually had any form of GPU in my PC right now :D

Despite it being Intel HD 4600, on board sucks - being stuck at 60Hz on minimum settings for most games.. :(

I've been messing around on GTA5 with it since I have no GPU too lol

Playing in a 720p window on lowest details with a few mods, playable to be fair :D

Ah right, hope you get yours soon then!

UPS delivery is like £50 isn't it?!

Was the Titan X release like this?

It was another €56.99 on top of my order, even with that included it works out to be cheaper (having just checked) :D

Plus being guaranteed delivery at some point is nice, seeing as they've got stock not bad supplier ETAs

A benefit of going SLi / Crossfire is that there's less need to overclock the GPU/s.

Its free performance but to each his own.

The point of the matter is that GPU boost on Nvidia cards differ from the "box" mhz, that's the bare minimum you will get.

My first TX (ref) does 1189Mhz out of the box, that's already a ~10% increase over what Nvidia state as the boost (1075mhz)

Now if I got a GTX980Ti that only boosts sto 1085mhz isn't that unfair/inaccurate to test against ?

Now benching against different chips, if stock, the increases should be proportional in terms of set manufacturer boost clocks % based.

980 : 1216 boost > real boost (a)
GTX980Ti : 1075 boost > real boost (b)
TX : 1075 boost > real boost (c)

We know that each GPU will boost differently and the proportional % we mentioned above differs so we try to even it out calculating the percentage of the highest (most probable boost a) and overclocking the other two (b and c) to even out the difference. (in terms of core)


Core overclocks are always linear which means we get the best of both worlds. The % increase in FPS will be the exact same as if they were running stock (locked clock speed of the manufacturer/AIB like AMD cards)

It is free performance, but anything over 60fps is wasted for me on my 60hz monitor.

As long as I have a steady 60fps at 1440p then I'm happy. I may OC for the odd benching run.
