Voted Hot because it's a great price, but anyone wanting to get a new GPU will be better off waiting a few months if possible. Both Polaris and Pascal cards SHOULD be released in the Summer at the latest imo, my money would be on the beginning of April to coincide with the launches of the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive. Even if you have to wait until the Summer, HBM2 will be worth the wait - more VRAM and MUCH more memory bandwidth compared to a 980Ti.

Just spotted this myself. Great value for an aftermarket card.

Shame, not 24GB. Thus cold.

Although I paid far less for my 980ti, I still think this is a good deal. What am I missing? (a joke)

Tomb raider is stuttering with max settings on a 970 - bet it will plough through with this 980ti
But with new cards coming soon prices on these cards should fall dramatically.

I highly doubt, as 970 still holding same prices for long time.

The 970's 3.5GB full speed GDDR5 Vram really shines on this title. [carcasm]
LOL

Hot! Fab price.
I'm so close to pulling the trigger on a top tier GPU but I'm torn...
Buy this Gainward GTX 980Ti PHOENIX GS NVIDIA Graphics Card 6GB @£479.98
Buy the Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 FURY X HBM Graphics Card 4 GB @£469.98 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ZPQS0AG?keywords=radeon%20fury&qid=1454144421&ref_=sr_1_2&s=computers&sr=1-2
Or wait to see how Polaris and Pascal pan out? My existing i5 2500 & R9 270X seem adequate enough for Insurgency & FC4 but GTA V & AC Syndicate is not so good. :smiley:

I know the feeling, my R9 270X 4gb is just about holding in there too.
