Nah, I can't be messing around with buying and selling.

If anything, I might investigate the evga step up thing.

Its what ive been looking at also there is a cashback option on atm on the hybrid 980ti which is very tempt which brings it down to £570 ish with free games.

Mins the 190-200 i hope to get for my Evga 970 before they drop.

£270 for a ti which i can maybe step up in up to 3 months.

Someone talk me out of this..........

 

[Simon Belmont]

Dont its killing me too i cant stop looking at the 2nd hand 980ti's doing man maths and thinking its a good idea lol

You'll regret it when pascal releases.

Based on what?

You now need to stop posting this nonsense with no backup to your made up deluded conjecture.

I think it's fairly surefire that 980Ti 2nd hand price will tumble when 1080s hit the market, but it's difficult to know if waiting is worth it. We could be looking at months yet :/

How is this nonsense? I just said he'll regret buying a maxwell card when pascal releases. Please you stop posting rubbish like this.

That's not what he's saying.

This happens with every gen. Its nothing new.

But it all comes down to performance.

That's the bottom line.

The x70 might not even be as grunty as a 980ti but cost 400

The fact is no one knows.

But companies don't give you performance for free. They drip feed tech to maximise profits.

Why?

The 980ti might be quicker than mid range pascal.

You're assuming things....

The 970 being the same as my EVGA 780SC...

It all comes down to performance. PERIOD.

Considering no one knows how Pascal performs makes all of your posts moot.

As its based on nothing other that's rattling around in that head of yours.

Did anyone regret buying a 290 just before the 3XX series of amd cards? Nope...

Nobody knows. Not even YOU!!! PERIOD

Your talking about the same silly nonsense over and over. Please go away PERIOD

I'm not going about repeating the same stuff over an over again.

Winding people up.

You're posts lack any quality of basis of fact. They are just disguised trolling.

Dude you posted on after my post talking all kinds of rubbish. I never not once post crap on a post you posted.

On Ignored.

 

[MooMoo444]

Chill out guys, can't we all enjoy the lack of information together?

 

[Ayahuasca]

Ah the classic case of ignored because you can't debate in any kind of mature way.

You're telling people no one knows anything then advising people not to buy something based on nothing on the same page. Jesus Christ.

I would expect that with the amount of 290's sold at least one person out there somewhere regretted it, just by the law of averages if nothing else.

They are both the same card

 

[Ayahuasca]

Using the 290>390 argument is a little flawed though.

We might not know anything but we at least know these coming cards aren't rebrands.

No but the 970 offered 780 performance not a rebrand.

We could see the same with pascal...Lower power draw similar speeds for mid range cards...


Take Intel


Devils canyon 22nm v skylake 14nm

Not massive speeds gains but significant power savings...

 

[Ayahuasca]

Yes but we're also getting a die shrink, 780 > 970 was still 28nm.

Of course mid range Pascal might still only be comparable to high end Maxwell, but card for card the increase should be the best we've seen for a number of years.

 

[bru]

I know I'm not alone in wanting to see a really drastic performance improvement, much bigger than any of us really expect to happen. Of course it probably wont happen but we can always have hope.

22nm Intel v 14nm skylake..

Same clock speeds very little in terms of gains.

Unfortunately that's not how tech companies work.
