I have saved those "faster than 980 SLI" and "2X faster than TX" slides. They are outright lies.

Id be willing to bet its faster than 980 sli in very very specific scenarios, but then again that's all it takes for them to be able to make that claim.

The 980Ti has been out a year. It has had its day and will be resigned to the bargain bins in a months time. A year is a long time in the tech world.

You should be happy, the 780Ti only had a bout 10 months before it was replaced by the cheaper and more efficient 900 series and sold off for £300.

My 980ti can play all the games I want it to the way I want it to now and it will still do in a years time. You make it sound like it worked yesterday yet today its a complete dead duck !
such bad scaremongering and inaccurate information.

Its worth also depends on much usage you have got out of it too.

My first reaction was to look at selling my 980TI, but after thinking about it for a few hours, I don't think it's all that sensible. Obviously what I'm about to say is based on my own requirements, but I suspect most people are not so far from my set up.

Sensible. If you have a 980 Ti or Titan X and it's features and performancce matches your requirements then why update unless you want to? Nothing wrong with those who just simply want to either.

For those who don't upgrade, just don't go think you still have a top end product and will still get a great price when you do trade up however, some seem to think that.

I think Jen is going to come after some of you as you sleep - like Freddy Kruger in a leather jacket telling your to upgrade and voila you'll suddenly decide to.

If I had a 980 Ti/Titan X or two right now I'm not sure I would be looking to upgrade unless I wanted VR or improvements for DX12 games (if that pans out) or had a multiple monitor setup for gaming, but I'm not a huge gamer either. However I do like to have a recent card in the machine.

This is a real predicament for me. I swore I would never go SLI again due to so many games not supporting it at launch (or ever). However some games use SLI very well so that means I would be downgrading, but on the other hand I might be upgrading for games that don't use SLI. The other thing to factor is how well these will clock, if the 1080 is 20-25% than a TX but doesn't clock well then I am probably better off sticking with my setup as TX clocks very well. I couldn't care less about heat or power usage as I am on full custom water.

I guess the pragmatic choice would be to wait for the 1080ti or even the next range of cards...
 
I think the 1070 is going to be an updated gtx980 spec wise. A gtx980 running at anything between 1800-2000 mhz should be faster than a gtx980ti-Titan X. i think spec wise it will disappoint some but with such high clocks it's going to be fast enough. Just a guess but probably not to far off.
 
7.2 billions transistors, whatever happened to the rumoured 16 billion or thereabouts people were predicting for these cards?

Those are the top tier ones with HBM2 supposedly coming end of the year or early 2017 on both sides

980TI ^^^





About 10 years ago i had a "HD Ready TV" HD Ready meant not full HD, IE 1080P, it meant 720P.

DP 1.3 and 1.4 certifications are not finalized yet and they're not offered, so it's "ready" instead of "certified". As far as we're concerned here, there's no difference.

For all the people on 970's it will be a fantastic upgrade though.

Unless you have two of them, then its just a small sidestep..:)

It's going to be a long wait until the 1080Ti...

On a side note, just playing Overwatch on my 970's at 4K, Max detail and I'm only showing 40-50% GPU usage!!!

Well impressed.
 
So do the 1070/1080 now properly support ASync Compute (to a level similar to AMD)?

As time goes on and we get more DX12 games, the use of ASync Compute might increase and then the performance gap between the 900 series and 1000 series might grow (plus Nvidia only really optimising for the newer cards in drivers, although that may be less of an issue with DX12).

I thought some where someone posted they about the same as GCN1.1 but take that with a pinch of salt as it was a month orso ago and I cannot remember where as it was linked from this forum.
