I don't see any on Newegg yet. You know I will buy one. My 295x2 just got sold 3 hours ago.

Oh and Shintai - Give me a month and I may double down and have two. :p

I thought you said you would eat your hat and buy me a GTX 980Ti if $649 happened...

If anyone wonders, THIS is why GTX 980 Ti almost match a GTX Titan X despite having 256 cores less.... :rolleyes:

^ yeah I would like to see both at the same core clock...

My Titan X has no problems hitting 1400 MHz on the stock cooler. Fan is a little loud but I wear headphones so it's a non issue.

Will Amazon/Newegg have this available at midnight? If so, what time zone?

Not bad.

Looks tempting. I still think U$650 is too much for a second tier card. I will wait till E3 to see what Fiji is like before I decide.

As expected, 980 Ti = TitanX. Same performance, same thermals, same noise. For those willing to do a custom bios, you could still get more out of a TitanX, but I can't imagine many are willing to do that, even then it's probably not much more. Biggest surprise was the price.

The $649 price point puts AMD in a tight spot. GTX 980 Ti is so close to Titan X, it's going to be hard for AMD to get more than $599 for Fiji unless it beats Nvidia's best by 10% or more - especially if the 4GB of VRAM implications are true.

Even if Fiji is Titan X + 10%, there's a good chance that the EVGA GTX 980 Ti Hybrid card could still beat that. And assuming it comes in at the same $100 premium over reference that the other EVGA hybrids do, that's going to be tough competition.

+ $15 shipping and tax takes it to $704 for me. No thanks. If I can't buy it at $650 + $10 ship, I won't buy it until I can.

$718 for me, gonna wait until newegg and Amazon have it, not paying $15 for standard shipping through nVidia

The 980 is a quite significantly cheaper card to make. I expect them to keep shipping it, just with a price cut if/once sales slow down.

The 980 also has far lower power consumption. Its perf/watt is still better than the GM200 cards, especially at 1080p.

Hawaii has 1 billion more transistors than GM204, and is 40 sq. mm. bigger. It also uses a lot more power (so boards need beefier VRMs) and has a memory bus twice as wide (more traces, and 16 GDDR5 chips instead of 8). And those cards currently sell for about $329 for the uncut versions.

Nvidia could drop the GTX 980 to $399, and still make significantly better profit margins than AMD is on their current range of chips.

Seeing a lot of people with 970's wanting this card. The same generation upgrade. My word nVidia's chokehold is strong.

Looks like a great value, when card compared to the Titan X... but **** you Harper (Canada). $650US, is now $800CDN. Regardless, it's still asking a lot for what isn't even the highest end single card anymore. Like asking for the normal whip after being victim of the cat-o-nine-tails.

Good review over at Babel tech reviews.

" Since we had more time to benchmark than usual with the GTX 980 Ti under NDA, we also tested the overclocked TITAN X versus the overclocked GTX 980 Ti, and we have also included GTX 980 SLI and 290X CrossFire. To round out our evaluation for a total of ten configurations, we added the GTX 780 Ti and the GTX 680 to see how Nvidia has progressed over the past 3 years"

So like $700 after 'Murican taxes?


So it's gonna be 700€, I guess.


Not sure how AMD can respond to that. Their Fury would have to be faster and the same price or significantly cheaper and close in performance....

I expected the 980 to be much more expensive...that might be an Nvidia last minute move to try their best not even giving the Fury a chance?


Either way...I'm tempted xD

Expected performance at an unexpected price. That pretty sums up the reviews on the GTX 980TI.

The pressure is definitely on AMD to deliver.
