Don't you have a 980ti that's now worth 45% of what you bought it for to sell

YES, gently caress

Oh well, its a really great card and thats ultimately why I decided not to sell afterall. Can I really be mad that there's another good card out? lol. It's just annoying because I almost pulled the trigger it couldn't have been more on the fence. I betted against nvidia releasing soon, I bet wrong.

I almost feel sorry for all the people that bought a new 980Ti at full price. Almost. :laugh:

Not by enough to notice, no.

Considering how old that implies the rest of your system is, though, there'd be a good chance it'll end up being CPU limited in many games.

Rest of my system is a 690, and a 2600k unlocked i7 sandy bridge. I just want to be able to do 120FPS for my 120hz monitor on most games I play on max settings.

If the 1070 is better than 980ti performance for $380, just how low are the 2nd hand 980ti's gonna get?

Right now? $310

Probably going to go even lower once the 1070s start being sold.

I'm more intrigued by how low the Titan Xs will go, now that they're being outperformed by a $380 value card :psyduck:

You'll probably be fine with the 2600k until it dies on you at this rate, especially for gaming.

Not sure if I'll go 1070 or 1080 yet. Want to see the reviews from hardware sites but I'm excited. My 970 has served me well but since I bought a 1440p monitor it doesn't quite keep up as well as I'd like.

Pretty sure they are just fancy designs. Nvidia has always sold a fancy sli bridge. Its no different than the cheap ribbon otherwise.

I bought a 970 maybe three months ago for the same reason and ended up not getting a VR headset. Still glad I got the 970, though. My 280x was getting a little long in the tooth in more recent games.

Depends on amd

980ti launched 8m after 980/970. titan x was like 5m after 980/970

I was in the same boat and I just have an unopened Oculus sitting in my room since I can't play it yet. Glad I waited, but I could see wanting to buy a card quick so you could play.

Pretty much for sure. They're backordered on the big chip's compute card till start of next year, and then once supply builds they're going to milk with the Titan and probably wait a bit after that to release the 1080 Ti unless AMD does something extraordinary with big Vega.

GUYS you are all looking at it wrong
if 1080 is twice as good as titan and the 980ti OCed is titan power, then just buy a second $300 980ti to SLI with. Right? :downs:

Much worse. Minimums are what really matter most of the time, and that means frequent 0% scaling :woop:
