Will you be ditching your 980 TI\TX for Pascal?

When Liquid cooled versions come out i see how they overclock and then decide.

Never enough power for Oculus rift :D
 
Tempted, but if I follow tradition my next card should be an ATI. As nice as my Hybrid Tis are, they are such a PITA to remove when needed, block areas on the mobo like sata connectors, BIOS jumpers etc it becomes a whole days work just to do some troubleshooting.

That plus the fact the games I play sadly still aren't taking advantage of SLI, I would prefer to go back to a single GPU solution.
 
Hiijinx mate its so much less problems than with normal waterblock... After this Hybrid i dont think ill ho full cover ever again....
Rebuilding pc takes 1.5 hour instead of 5 hours.....
 
I sold my 780 Ti to buy a 980. Gave me extra performance and money in my pocket (I sold it a few weeks before 980 was announced). I later upgraded to Titan X.

I bought my Titan X last April for I think £820, and sold it last month for £710. Now will get the 1080 which is sure to be cheaper than £710 with some performance improvement and money in my pocket, which I'll use to upgrade to the next Titan or 1080 Ti when they're released.

That's a really smart way to do things - 'playing the market' at the right times and all that.

Personally, I can't be bothered, too much chop and change and hassle. I like to buy a high end card (Ti not Titan though), or likely two, and then use them for around 2 years or so at least.
 
Plan was to sell the Titan X's. 1 sold, of the current two one did get sold, but buyer not paying. Think I will stick with them until the next Titan card is released, or wait for the Ti variant this time around if performance is gap is small.

Being honest with myself though, I would be upgrading for the shiny factor. Most games I am playing is not an issue with the current setup. But who can resist shiny stuff :D
 
980ti SLI will be an option when current prices drop (depending on the usual variables), but I doubt I would be ditching a 980ti for anything less than a 1080ti.
 
Problem is that a Hybrid 980Ti (so it holds high boost clocks) and the X34 is doing me proud, even with The Division punishing the hell out of it!!! :cool:

Want new shiny :(

And I have a new Predator 360 installed so I can stick a gfx block into it too ;)
 
I would say the 1080 would be worth it if it has 15% or more performance. I would say anything under 15-20% it is really not worth swapping. 20% though would be good, for example GTA V is not ideal at 3440x1440, drops down to 50fps which looks really bad on that game.. + 20% would be 60-85 fps instead of 50-70 fps. Also low TDP is good because of obvious reasons.

Difficult question to answer that depends on far too many variables.

Depends on:

How good the 1080 is over a 980ti
How much it costs
How much a used 980ti fetches

I wasn't planning on swapping until big pascal so I'll only look into half heartedly when the 1080 hits as I'm not that fussed about swapping unless it's a no brainer.
 
If the 'leaked' figures are true then probably not. I will just OC my 980 Ti to close the performance gap a little.

I try to keep my GPU for at least 2 years so may well wait for next series of cards before upgrading. However if Nvidia start start screwing around with the drivers then I will not be buying another Nvidia GPU.

If that turns out to be the case then Vega will look a lot more interesting to me.
