Looks like EVGA is clearing out their inventory.

I suppose with 1070's hitting below $400 lately they need to rush them out.

Does the 980ti have any advantage over the 1070 ?

Other than price, no. Unless you want to use more power and generate more heat.

980 ti generates a LOT of heat but also is insanely overclockable. IFF you can manger heat (almost impossible even with liquid cooling) then there in an advantage. So in theory yes, in practice no.

where u pulling this up from?
there is no videocard in existence which can outpace a custom liquid cooling setup and not be voltage limited.

Meaning on a full coverage block like eK/Koolance/Watercool your going to run into voltage limiting issues on the BIOS of the card before you run into heat problems.

EVGA (and maybe others) let's you mod the bios too, possibilities are endless. Some interesting reads here - http://forums.evga.com/GTX-980-TI-BIOSVOLTAGE-HACK-m2360712.aspx

u void your rma doing a bios hack.

You do not void your rma putting on a waterblock.
At least with eVGA you don't.

On a stock card without doing something to violate your RMA, you will not outpace a full cover gpu block.

Irrelevant, point is that it can be done.
