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

No just realistic and more importantly willing to wait & see.

Don't pay any attention to him. He seems to be taking offence at anyone who thinks the 980Ti is now worth a lot less with the 1070 incoming.

He is probably very upset at seeing his card devalue so quickly, so I can kind of understand. Poor thing :p
 
Interesting - a 970 on the MM started on Thursday @£200 - which until the announcement was a damn good price - yet it's already down to £170 due to potential buyers hanging fire for Pascal, this is before launch, prices of 9xx cards are only going one way now and apparently rather quickly.

Sad for owners I'm sure, good for "vultures" like me who wait for such times.

Of course they will.

Why is everyone so surprised? Literally the same thing happens every generation. :confused:

When the 700 series came out 670's were sold off brand new for a shade over £160 with games bundled!

Thing is, if Easyrider had sold it a few weeks ago, we would have got some smug post about how great he was at selling it for £400+, but because he's still got his and going to lose loads by jumping onto 'new tech', he can't hack the fact he's for once not sold a GPU at the right time.

But 170 is for a card costing 220

What would you expect to pay for a 970 now ?

He's as entitled to his opinion as I am to what I'm prepared to pay for an old tech card, however good it undoubtedly still is, I get owners annoyance but that's their problem not mine.

Dude I was offered 475 couple of weeks back..I chose to keep it...

Looks like 1080 is 25% faster than 980ti...

I'm not that excited TBH...it's not a money thing ...I'm loaded...
 
Everyone is bashing GM200 cards as worthless.:D

Lets see any GP204 setup get anywhere near my TX setup in raw performance.:D

I think we should have 2 polls first one how quickly do you think Boomstick777 will get a new card and second poll how many different models will he buy this 14/16nm generation :p.

I've been resisting £200 970's until now and knowing the bath 980's will soon be taking I'm no longer even slightly interested in that one I mentioned even though it's not far from half its retail price!

I'm no longer even remotely interested in 970's any more as for the £200 I was thinking of spending I know I can soon do a lot lot better.

What you seem to be struggling to grasp little one is that none of that matters :p

Say the 1070 is same, or close to the performance 980Ti to fit your narrative. We already know it has more vram (very important, just ask kaaps), we know it will consume less electricity and run cool and quieter. We also know it will cost around £300.

Now, using all that information, please explain why anyone in their right mid will pay £300 or more which is what you feel the 980Ti worth for a second hand card, when they can buy a BRAND NEW card which is superior for cheaper?

To me second hand means the value drops quite a bit. Therefore I and many others have arrived at the conclusion of £200-250 being the value of a SECOND HAND 980Ti.

Hope you get it now :D
