Nope no such thing and no board partner seems to plans to do one at present.
I don't think NVidia would want to see 8gb 980s as this will hit the sales of full fat Maxwell cards.

Lol thank you! Thank you for silencing half the population with that comment
Well they can't make enough 4GB cards and for one 8GB card they could make two 4GB models so 8GB won't happen until the shortage ends which won't be for another month minimum.
Yes easy, we're getting 200+ and about 100 pre-sold so far.
Same for 970 version too.
Hoping dollar rate improves though!
Great stuff. After my post last night I was checking out other cards. Is the OcUK exclusive Gigabyte 980 a faster card than the Strix?

February to March. Guesstimate. AIBs like to make money just as much as NV so they'll drag this out, or potentially never due to what NV will release in Q1

Gigabyte 980 G1 i think is a better card as the stocks are higher anyway and I think it will OC way more. It is just quite long and extra fans, but I think that just translates to awesome cooling. Just very curious about the fans, know my last 780 Ti from gigabyte and the fans where making ticking noises.
I really want to SLI at the moment, but there is just a vacuum of card supply and too much to choose from too!

Know how you feel, I might just flip a coin in the end!

Thing is I already have a EVGA 980 SC reference cooler and now I think I may want non reference cards... and 2 of them. :S
I have had my eye on the G1 for a long time but the ACX 2.0 from evga just look so damn good... but dont exist yet...

When Gibbo gets some more stocks of 980's you will see some more pics 
Strix 980's and 970's should be here Thursday/Friday. LOTS OF THEM TOO!
£500 is a killer though

Not enough rig pics in here. I am disappoint
Building a custom loop next week probably, What rad's would you guys recommend? I might add a 3rd 980 down the line so was thinking 2 360's should be fine?

I run a 360+480 to cool 3 Titans and a 3930K and all through the summer, they did an excellent job at keeping the cards and CPU cool with low spinning fans. 2x360s will be ample for 3 980s.
Nice system there as well
