Only if you're looking at a 980ti, as the 970 and 980 are too close in performance to a 780ti to likely be a noticeable upgrade.
Yes, massive upgrade. I'm doing excatly that.
I replaced my cooked 290x with the MSI 980ti Gaming because I got fed up of waiting for the 1080 I wanted to become available... in fact just checked and the one I was looking at is still OOS. It has been a massive leap in performance for me, especially in The Division.

most ppl here would say no (but they would also say a 1070 isn't good enough
)3.5GB vRAM will limit you.

+1 I would also like to know this.

Total side grade but I swapped my MSI 980Ti for an EVGA Hybrid 980Ti. Same performance, just 33° cooler (52° max instead of 85° with MSI) in Witcher 3. Worst case scenario really, as that game destroys GPUs. Quieter too of course as MSI fans go crazy at that temp. CPU temps down too as well.
Not tried any overclocking yet on the EVGA. Came with the new shroud design which is nice.
My quest for quieter PC is stalled now really as I am stuck with rather poor PWM control on my MSI Mobo.
If I can sell my MSI for around £300 then I'll be happy. £250 I'll be happy ish

Taken the last kingpin to have a play with on my LAN rig 
Looks like a great card.

strix would probably be the quietest one and also a v solid card.

Anybody anybody?
Sods law, I'm ready for an upgrade so have been sorting finances this week. Check back to see and its not available.
Do they usually restock quite quick? Is it likely this offer will still be on by the end of the week?

The 980ti MSI are very quiet, I run both of mine on 100 percent fan speed and they are hardly noticeable.The strix will be quiet too, not sure about the others but I wouldn't choose any apart from those 2 or maybe the Evga one. I just always avoid the reference cards with the coolers being loud and crap.
