ima wait till this comes down do sub £100

GTX 1070 anyone?

If you want to look really cool, tell them you bought an 8800GTX

I totally understand. It's always better to care about what people think and look cool with your GPU, that is what it's all about, after all...

Nothing wise there.............. forget the KFC :wink:

Why not just buy a 1070?
Mine cost me £387 and I sold my 980ti for £390 a few weeks ago.
I'm using the same settings and getting pretty much the same fps. I see the 1070 as more future proof, so I traded up and spent my £3 wisely (probably went towards a KFC).

Waiting until the 29th to see what AMD brings to the party. Until then, NVIDIA are charging as much as they dare get away with.

Hot?!?! Madness to pay any more than £250 for one of these with the 1070 just out now (and seriously overpriced too). In any case I'm getting an AMD 480 thanks

Plus a 970 does not have a full 4gb of full speed video memory

970 should handle 4k LOL :wink: I also have 970 and its not even a 1440p card (i have 1440p screen), but 970 is NOT a 4k card for sure... it might work with some titles you are playing.

If you're playing 4k comfortably on a 970 then I'm Wesley Snipes.

Is this a serious question? I've got the 970 and I play all games at native 4K and maxed out usually. It's understandably a picture that is streets ahead of what the ps4 can do and the new upgraded ps4 won't get anywhere near the graphics I can get. My PC is only a mid range gaming rig. So the new cards like the 1070 and 1080 should be even better. The prices of the 970 should fall. It's going to be future proofed for a few years yet and way better value than the 980. I'll be interested in the 1070 next year when the price falls.. The 1080 for me is an unnecessary luxury.
But Ben the 970 is way ahead of any current console and their new versions if you want to play at native 4K

Don't forget the price difference too !

Well it has been superseded and for less money....in my book , that is outdated...

Outdated? Definitely not the word you need to use

I own a Titan X & this card is pretty much the same as my Titan X, only difference is VRam. Of course the '10s' are new and better, but the question is will you be gaming at 1080, 1440? Realistically speaking if you've done your research you know no card is really ready to crack the 4K mark yet.

If I had an option for 980Ti or 1070 well I'd purely get the 10 series not because 980Ti is bad, not at all but because what can 10 series offer, because last I checked the difference in FPS were very little. Just a general overview I know it might not be very helpful.

This will give you 5x the performance in games, sometimes more, than the current consoles.

I'd grab this if it went under £300, but might as well wait for a 1070 to be reasonable.

Really don't understand how some people are buying these cards still. Hell, people on gumtree still selling them for this price second-hand are they insane

Thankfully though the 1070 is still a upgrade to the older out dated 980ti and likely to be cheaper in a matter of weeks.

the 1080 is also £200 more expensive at the moment, worth it? **** no.

I sold my 290 sapphire vapour a couple of weeks ago, prices are dropping fast

Not that impressed with my 1070 FE tbh, doesn't seem like much of an improvement over my 970 despite what all the benchmarks say.

talking from someone has had both cards.

the 980 ti is the faster card up to 20% in some cases ive noticed.

both overclocked to max I could get

Now is the time to sell ahead of the new amd card

Sort of glad I sold my 980ti for £400 few days back , got about £350 after fees.

You and your mates are ...

Dont be upset you messed up its okay youre only human

Well if the 2015 Fiesta was a 980ti and the new 2016 Fiesta was 1080 , it would be a 25 % Faster and a New model / shape Fiesta for the same money......sounds like they have really done a good job on the new one !! hey WHY BUY LAST YEARS MODEL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mid-range specs? It's still a brilliant card. Just because newer technology comes out, doesn't make this obsolete.

"Yeah, that 2015 Ford Fiesta is nowhere near as good as my 2016 one"

can you introduce me to your gamer friends please they sound cool

or not since there is no 980ti SLI in that.

This may help you

Further to my above comment...

correct but i think you missed my point.

I currently have a 980ti, if i was to get another 980ti (for cheaper than a 1080) i would then have 2x980ti's which would be way more powerful than 1 1080.

If i sold my 980ti i wold only get like £300, a 1080 is around £600 meaning i would have to pay £300 more for the 1080, i could just get another 980ti for £400 instead. i know about SLI issues but most modern games support it fine.

A 1070 is better than a 980ti, a 1080 is far better.

Buy 2 1080's !!

Console Peasants enjoy 30fps Lal

yeah i think your right... i have a 40 inch 4k monitor (mainly for productivity) it doesn't run that many games at high detail very well. I play my games at 1080p on my 22inch 144hz 1080p monitor and that can run basically everything at max settings so i think i'll wait for a 1080ti :smiley:

Waste of money and what you'd call a side grade rather than an upgrade.
An overclocked 980ti is almost as quick as the 1080.

980ti owners should definitely wait unless they absolutely need the latest & greatest.
I've got a standard 980 and won't upgrade until big chip pascal GP102 1080ti comes out.

​same, fiver or nothing please.

These are only worth £299 max now. Voted cold.

lol 1080? i hope your mean a 1080ti other wise nah it's not worth it, the 1080 isn't much better than a 980ti, still can't do 4k at 60fps and still can only just run crysis 3 at 60fps.

I would flog the 980ti ASAP and buy a 1080

should i get a second GTX 980ti or should i wait for a a 1080ti?

Not unless AMD completely change their market share. The last generation, according to the steam hardware survey, showed the 970 having more cards than all of the 200 and 300 series of AMD combined.

Unless we Brexit, the pound takes its hit, and our imported electronics prices inevitably rise, of course.

(Which will give a big boost to all of those "made in Britain" graphics cards, at least. PowerVR, anyone? Heck, the name is now a lot more relevant, too! :man:)

is this some kind of joke heated topic? or have the nvidia dumbos finally completed a HUKD takeover.

No point in getting the 980TI if you're looking for a brand new card so just get a GTX 1070 purely because its the same priceish and out performs it.

Cold. £20 more than a 1070 which has been shown to outperform it. "But an overclocked 980Ti will beat a 1070" - So overclock the 1070, too. Buy a 1070 when the price settles to around £330-350ish in a couple of months. If you can't wait til then, buy a 1070 now. The 980Ti is a great card, yes, but it's old and doesn't have the newer features of the 10X0 series.

No idea why this is hot, it's not a sane purchase over the 1070 :confused:

Did you read my post?

I said I knew fine well the new cards were due. I also said they were due several months AFTER the VR HMD's became available. I can afford the updates and wasn't willing to wait (waited years for commercial release already!) or compromise.

Besides, just because the new cards are better, doesn't mean the older ones instantly become junk. The 980ti is still a damn powerful card. Just not as powerful as the newer ones. Obviously. I've run both Rift and Vive on it and everything has run fast and flawless. Which is what I wanted. You pays your money, you takes your choice.

As I say, I'll upgrade to a 1080 in a few months and punt the 980ti for whatever I can get for it on the bay of dreams.

Will I lose a bit of cash on the deal? Yes.
Did I know this when I bought the 980ti? Yes.
Can I afford all this? Yes.
Therefore, do I care? No.

:smiley:

All i can say is foolish being... the 1080 release date has been available for ages. Only time to buy a 980ti would be release date or for a really cheap price.

1070 will be sub 300 by the end of the year fool to buy this now

Everyone saying get a 1070. At 4K, in some games this performs about 10fps below a 1080. And it will take a long time for this to become sub £100

VR.

I bought a 980ti a few months back. For more than this. Unfortunately.

Timing of the release of all the VR kit sucked. I knew fine new cards were on the horizon. But I also didn't want to skimp and have several months of cruddy, below par VR while I waited for the new cards to appear.

Oh well.

I'll go for a 1080 in a few months once they are a little more bedded in. The 980ti is coping with everything well so far so should be good for months yet.

Wow Way to sound really pathetic. So due to public opinion you'd rather waste the SAME MONEY on a previous gen older tech card?

Weird!

*because

Becauae it's a good price for the product in the current market. Yes it's old tech and no where near as good as 1070 and 1080 but as a price for a 980 ti at the moment it's better than most places. Helpful for those who may want to SLI... Also not everyone has patience. Gonna hold out for a 1080 myself but if you're looking for a 980ti this is a good price.

Exactly, basically daylight robbery

£9.90 postage.

Tryhard macho manlets.

ITT: Geeks

I don't get why this is hot? the 1070 card will outperform it, has inbuilt VR support has more memory and will be around 330 pounds??? Am i missing something?

This is exactly what I did, Zotac 980ti AMP Extreme for £400 last year.

nvidia tend to gimp previous generations though, so there's a downside.

xbox and PS run games at lower framerates and lower quality settings.

I can't believe 400 quid for a graphics card. You can buy a new PC for that. What do these do that xbox or PS dont?? Oh serious question btw...

Still £100 too much for a last gen power hungry heat generating graphics card.

Nooo, it's now 'knebz'.

Yes, as it will sell more units than all the 1070s and 1080s combined.

edit: if it's £200 or less.

​The troll be mad

Any one getting a graphics card though should wait for all of tge new ones to drop a little.

Lowbobs

Considering its half a month away and still very hard to find benchmark and pricing information (bar what are there own staged benchmarks), get ready to be gravely disappointed.

I think you'll find that is very 2012. It's 'nubs' now. Keep up :smiley:

Personally, given that the 1070 and the Radeon 480 (sub £200) will offer better value for money, I'd keep away from the 980Ti

Plus....DX12 and the 980Ti doesn't play nice with asynchronous compute

That'd be a great price for the power tbh

980ti, yep

I imagine 399 to 449

Depends on the xbox price when released

By the time the new xbox is released, we will have even better graphics cards for less

The 480 is gonna be £230+ for the 8GB version. The 980 is £460?

Boo - the new xbox will be more powerful :P

For half the price of the Nvidia equivalent? Yes.

I think you'll find the group of people you wish to converse with, refer to it as "n00bs"

Hell no. Anyone wants a 980ti, don't pay more than £250 for it.

Best to wait another fortnight when amd will release their new cards. This may shake the market a bit. Apparently these are same speed as 980s but half the price

Shut up and take my money

Oh wait... Whats this RX 480 everybody's talking about

As said. Not low enough. Get a 1070.

I'd rather have a factory overclocked 980ti (Zotac AMP etc) than a standard 1070 for the same price. I'd be spat on by my gamer friends for saying I had a 1070. "Why didn't you buy a 1080 noob?!" they'd say. But a 980ti, they'd be like, "Good choice guy, good price, I see why you got one. GG guy"

HOT, should of posted this myself.. I didn't lol :disappointed:

I totally understand. It's always better to care about what people think and look cool with your GPU, that is what it's all about, after all...

980ti is mid range specs now, 1070 is better for the same price or less, 980ti needs to be closer to 275 - 300 max

Lol

1070's are for noobs. This is a good price for the 980ti. I'll hold out for a 1080 though

Yep, 1070 is a better card for the same price or less. You may have to wait a couple of weeks but it's worth it.

Waaaaay to close to the 1070 prices to be a good buy unless you already have one and are looking to SLI.

pretty sure the gtx 1070 is faster or equal (depending on the scenario) than the 980ti and the founders edition is running at a similar price (meaning the normal release in a month or two will be even cheaper). Due to the massive tech improvements in the 1070 and 1080 it's probably a bad idea to purchase anything in the 980, 980ti and titan lines since they run similar prices but our now older tech. If you want to spend this much, buy a 1070 or wait for bigger price drops in the coming months on these kinds of cards.

ima wait till this comes down do sub £100

GTX 1070 anyone?
