If you want/need the power now then buy. They'll always be something better around the corner.

Are these still worthy of buying or should I just wait for the newer stuff to hit the shelves?

Although it would mean a long wait until they bring out the next top line I would guess.

At the price of them today, yes.

Just ordered a 980Ti, EVGA FTW edition. I'm in the club!!

Couldn't hack these 7970's and crossfire anymore. By selling these I should net about £200 back

Geeman1979 · 26 Nov 2015 at 14:49

Good move, enjoy.

Uncle Petey · 26 Nov 2015 at 15:17

If you want or expect £200 back, then don't try to sell them on here

I've got a buyer lined up for £150 at mate's rates.

Uncle Petey · 26 Nov 2015 at 15:23

That's pretty much what you'd get offered on here.

That's all they're worth, any more's a bonus.

My understanding of uk consumer law is that Ocuk are responsible for the first year and then the manufacturer for the rest of the warranty period. So if its the first year then yeh has to be Ocuk.

Maybe so but the point is the card is working, its just not meeting their exaggerated claims of being 30% cooler and 3x quieter than a reference 980 ti. It gets to 80c consistently and sometimes goes 2-3 c higher which is what's expected with a reference cooler, not a cooler with a load of copper heatpipes and 3 large fans.

I highly doubt ocuk would refund\replace it seeing the card itself is working fine, just not at the levels of "cool and quiet" that asus are claiming. =/

Picked up the Dell G-Sync and Zotac Amp 980TI in the BF deals, was waiting for something to make me move and the price on the Dell sealed the deal.

Should be a nice upgrade from 1080p on my 670 GTX

Will update the thread to join the club when it arrives, i expect there will be a few more of us lurking in here come next week

Huggie86 · 26 Nov 2015 at 16:03

Went for the EVGA FTW! Bargain price elsewhere.

Chuffed.

Some strings were really pulled on that one.

Huggie86 · 26 Nov 2015 at 16:09

Yeah, absolutely ridiculous! Also backplate and games. Nuts I tell ya

Would it be worth getting one at 1440p? Or would a 970 do at that sort of res. Not a hardcore gamer so usually keep the extra that a super high end card would cost on top (£200) for the next upgrade in years to come.

Huggie86 · 26 Nov 2015 at 16:12

I think at that price, deffo! I got one to go with my Swift at 1440p. Dooooo it

MooMoo444 · 26 Nov 2015 at 16:12

970 would be OK for short term at 1440p but you would need something with a bit more grunt soon.

Same. Stunning price and EVGA too! Shame OcUK couldn't do anything with the 980Ti's as I'd have rather bought from here but oh well!

And they are sold out now

I had to go with two hybrids, still excellent price though. Goodbye my titan x

Tephnos · 26 Nov 2015 at 18:05

Hate you lot. Wanted one of those FTWs.

panda_uk · 26 Nov 2015 at 18:06

Also picked up a 980ti evga hybrid at an incredible price. Highly recommended these cards. Cool and quiet.
