**Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review Thread**

Who for? Titan owners?

AMD.

 

[eyetrip]

Am I the only one who finds MSI naming a card "Gaming" rather disingenuous. Who buys a 980Ti of any level and doesn't use it for gaming??

You underestimate the power of marketing on the ignorant.

I might be tempted if the non-reference boards are any good (and not too expensive).

The Witcher 3 just looks so much better at the full 3440x1440 without black bars at the edges.

 

[ChrisD.]

Reference 980ti is Titan X PCB.

Good stuff, will be ordering a couple and some waterblocks then.

 

[~Mike~]

If the price is right, I'm very tempted.

 

[RavenXXX2]

No price gouging then reference should hit at £550.

 

[Simon Belmont]

Still no price on 980Ti? I still think it'll be close to £700..

I bought my Titan X for £780 last week. I'm very happy with it. 12gb will come in handy if I go 4K. Gaming at 1440p atm and getting over 60fps on witcher 3. Still the fastest card on the planet Couldn't be happier

 

[Patrickman]

I hope Overclockers will have plenty of stock

 

[dromi]

exactly, 980ti will be a beast but "only" has 6gb

 

[CapitalOne]

It shows double usage in SLI

Doh! Apologies

 

[Gregster]

I want one of these and I own a TX.... Wtf is wrong with me lol?

Heh... Oh well.

I don't think Titan and the regular line of nvidia cards can be considered together from a value standpoint, the Titan is just a card saying 'here is the best, you can have if if you pay for it' and the rest of the cards are there to be competetivefrom a value standpoint. It's no surprise the 980ti is much less expensive than the Titan offering similar performance.

It's been stated multiple times at £550 when reviewed...

I'll be very surprised if anyone dares to price gouge over the RRP to that extent, stock or no stock, it'll just make that e-tailer look bad indeed. I'd say reference models with a reputable brand will be circa £570 with any non-reference hitting around the £630 mark, but that's just my guess

I think it's a slight obsession with new hardware. I had a 970 G1 and was looking at 960s with a glancing eye

 

[R63]

Whats the release date?

2pm. Today.

 

[Skeng]

the 295x2 seems to benchmark better apart from the obvious witcher/cars debacle and it's cheaper, not sure why everyone is raving.

Because unlike the 295x2 this card has drivers that actually work

Frame pacing.
Poor when crossfire doesn't work.
Needs a big PSU.
Larger and arguably more difficult to install.
