Pretty good deal for a 980Ti with 5 year warranty.
Will trade places with or beat a 1070 when both overclocked. Uses a fair deal more power though and only has 6GB vs 8GB VRAM of the 1070.

There are a couple of reasons why I would find the extra money for the GTX1070.
It uses a lot less power. We're talking an easy 100 watts here. So most of them run so cool they can turn off their fans. Even at full load they are virtually silent. This is a big boon. It also has more memory.
Possibly most importantly however Pascal does offer improvements in DX12 performance. It's not as significant as AMD. But 980ti can actually perform worse in DX12 than in DX11 in some games. Maxwell doesn't play well. In other words, GTX1070 is virtually always faster and will be more so into the near future. It's not by much, but faster it is.
Finally this 980ti is still a £320 video card. If you are considering spending this much money on a card you should really really get the newest model you can find. You're not exactly cheaping out on a £300 video card are you? So don't do it for the sake of another £40.

This is easy, if you're spending this much just pay £40 more for a Palit GTX 1070 from Ebuyer or Scan, newer architecture and will have longer driver support.

Already own a Zotac 1070, so not looking to buy - but if I was this would be very tempting. Heat!

The 980ti is not far off the stock 1080 for hundreds less it said on the techradar website. Just a thought.

Not sure it's up there with 1080s tbh, 1070s yes.

The 980ti is on par with the 1070..
Good price for the card, but these are getting cheaper and cheaper all the time.
You can prob get one well cheap 2nd hand on eBay now

In like 2018. People have been talking up DX12 titles for years and we have about 3.
