Why the **** are people calling it a mid range card?!! At the moment there is no card that can beat it, not from AMD not from NVIDIA.
Sure it will become that in future just like any other top end card in the past. We don't even know if there will be a 1080Ti or new Titan X at the moment.

As it is a mid range card, its the 980s replacment (1070 being the 970s), the Ti and Titan replacements, are still to come.

Because it's made using the mid range GPU of the full pascal range. Are you new to Computer hardware?

So was the GTX 980 and the GTX680, and they were never marketed as mid range cards. Small chips doesn't necessarily mean mid range, as they're put into production while the manufacturing process is still immature and costly.

I've grown out of the benchmarking.....thing now, I was into it from the Ti4400 days till the 8800 Ultra days but it doesn't do anything for me now. I don't play every game that's going, I choose 4 or 5 and stick to that. I don't game every night, only when I get a notion for it. I don't need to have the fastest card to feel part of a group or whatever, I know what my needs are and I buy to fulfil those needs. For the games that I play now I would rather buy once and buy the 1080Ti but that's just me and the way I work lol.

Last month I bought myself an x34 GYSYNC...monitor...the 980ti did struggle in some games..so any ounce of performance I can muster for little outlay was my mindset.

I figured if I sell the 980ti and can upgrade for 150 squids it will see me until new year time and I'll decide what I want to do then...

if I can get my 1080 stable at 2ghz and have an extra 2gb vram then it's money well spent...

Was not long ago you were holding on to your 980ti which would have been a smart move if it was a decent chip. The Easy shuffle is decent strategy but in this case was probaby not worth the hastle. Let's see though it might play out in time as a decent move. If Vega comes out in October I forsee this mid range card getting spanked. The next ti will almost certainly make it look pedestrian.

TBH I stopped playing the easy shuffle a couple of years ago...had a 780 and 1080p which was fine for my needs....then I get a great deal on a 980ti which then leads to an x34 and so on....

Gaming in Superwide has changed my perception on PC gaming....it's staggering...it's supercool....

I was dithering on keeping the 980ti you're right but my head got the better of me and figure I'd take a gamble...

I'm happy to wait another three weeks for the standard 1080 and if I can get closer to the 100fps of the 100hz x34 for 150 I'll be happy.
 
u dont have to justify it to any1 easy!
but what is great for you might not be so great for other (like in bed!)
u are going to get a custom tho right? evga?

You might only be receiving 12% for that £150. £150 looks to be on the optimistic side though. £375 for your ti plus £150 is £525. Is this not coming in around the £600 mark.

Edit: I suppose with that monitor it could make some sense as every little counts.

I completely understand where you are coming from and for someone in your situation that makes sense to do and I would agree with you.

But you seem to be confused like as if everyone thinks and feels the same as you do. Guy just said he will likely keep the card for a very long time. Therefore your advice needs to take his needs into consideration, otherwise it comes of looking careless and worthless.

Just like saying X34 monitor and 3440x1440 is best. For some this may hold true, for others not so much. It is not a universal thing. Not everyone is the same, if you consider that before posting, it would help a lot :)

Great mature post...I'm impressed. Yep pretty much on the money...I do get blinkered sometimes but hey I'm easyrider right? It's expected :p:)

Strange as my 980ti G1 running at 1550/2000 can't say I've found a game that struggles with my x34 GYSYNC.

Very odd indeed. Maybe you should have overclocked your 980ti?

I'm not getting a founders edition ...

By the looks of it a 1080 clocked to 2ghz is yielding 25 -35 percent gains.

I just go by what's in my MM account ...:p
 
Wasn't that Vega October rumour debunked?

Pascal will probably have the upper-mid market all to itself for almost a year. Curious to see what they do for a 1060 after NV seem to have lost interest in that segment.
 
I'm still in wonder of my 980ti, the 1080 looks lovely but I don't need it atm. I'm still kind of jealous of the people that are getting it though :)

Why a year when Vega is early next year if the October rumor is false. Hopefully the October rumor is true as I can't see Polaris getting close to the 1080. 1070 could be reachable with decent clocks but so far the rumors point towards nothing like what is needed. I hope Polaris is a surprise as things are stale at this moment.

it does kind of feel that way
im sure nvidia could have released a crazy good midrange card last time but they didnt, i guess they saw it made more ppl buy the 970
i dont see the 1070 being the same price as that for a long time

That's great to know. A couple of guys here had been saying that Pascal wouldn't have it and whilst I was hoping it would have, part of me was a little concerned. Good news indeed and should stop a couple of people posting nonsense now.

Just need OcUK now to confirm pre-orders and prices and it will be F5ing time. :D
