Huh. According to that Anandtech review, in real-world tests the 980ti is, on average, only 3% slower than a Titan X. I would have thought Nvidia would leave more of a performance gap than that.

Bad timing on me buying a 970 last week. But, I can run Witcher 3 60fps on ultra with the hair stuff turned off so whatever.

Probably not, unless you've got some unusual high-draw items connected or your PSU is some Rosewill crap. 250W TDP is pretty low considering what type of performance you're getting out of it; it's lower than the ~300W that a 290X draws, and I currently run a 290X, i5-2500k OCed, 16GB RAM, 2x HDD and 1x SSD on a Corsair RM 650 with absolutely no issue. Even under load I think the whole thing only comes up to something like 400W. SLI would be out of the question, but for a single you'd be a-ok.

I got another goon's 780 back in 2013 and continued to overclock the poo poo out of it even after I swapped to a smaller 660W Seasonic power supply last year. I could run an overclocked 3770K with it as well. The card had the same default 250W power draw as the 980 Ti, though the Ti here has more CUDA cores and twice the VRAM. I'd say you'd be fine.

Is there a timeline for the next generation of cards? I'm on a 470gtx and it's going at about 15fps with everything off in witcher 3.

Anandtech review looks pretty good. Once I see some nonreference cards from EVGA/MSI/Asus on amazon, it is going to be tough to avoid pulling the trigger. On the one hand, waiting for AMD is an option, and they may have something compelling. On the other hand, I am on summer break from teaching, and the time I have to do poo poo and play games is right now. Not two months from now.

I think the 980Ti is the new ideal card for 1440p+ if you want decent performance and don't want to spend on/deal with a dual card set up. It certainly puts the Titan X and 980 in the dog house.

65% of the price for 95% of the performance sounds pretty good to me. Especially when I have a 1440p monitor, and am currently using a 760.

Unless Fiji is substantially more powerful than the Titan X it's pretty much over for AMD. Maybe they'll be able to make some headway with a $1100 dual-GPU card or something.

Yiyiyi I'm glad I sat on the fence before getting an 970. I don't know if prices for that will drop, but it brings the 980 and 980ti into the frame since I'm going 1440p next upgrade.

My 970 EVGA SLI push Firestrike to 19150, Firestrike Extreme to 10200 and run Witcher 3 at 1440p and Ultra Settings with hairworks at 55-65 fps average. So I was sure I would skip the 980ti...until I saw the customs. Holy hell.... The superclocked custom ones will mean that 980TI = "Titan Irrelevant", just to make the reference again, and will be faster than my 970 SLIs. And they have 2 GB VRAM more. ....I meant 2,5 GB VRAM more.  I fear the german superclocked models will be ~ 800 to 850 Euros but I will sell my 970s to buddies for 250 Euro each. Thats means an invest of ~ 1200 Euros to jump from 970SLI to 980TI SLI.  Yeah, somehow stupid but gaming is my passion and who needs to eat anyway and I wanna flood my sweet ASUS RoG Swift with frames. I must...I MUST TitanX SLI Goons withj Haswell Architecture, what are your PSUs like? I got an 800 BeQuiet E10-CM and I am wondering if this will be enough or not (I got an I7-5930K oc at 4,3 GHz and Samsung 850 Evo in my rig).

I predicted this way back and even toxxed on it. This is reminiscent of the Tesla vs Terascale days, except there won't be a minor recovery after Nvidia fumbles with a Fermilike.Thanks for not letting me down(?) AMD.

Cojawfee posted:The Titan X and 980ti us a different chip that supports DX12 I would imagine. Yeah, certain as-of-yet unnamed hardware bits and bobs are incorporated into the new silicon to fully support DX12--the rest of the lineup will just "mostly" support DX12. However, I wouldn't expect that we'll actually see anything that uses those for another year+, especially if only two or three cards out of both NVidia and AMD support them for the next (soon to be current) generation of cards.

This probably isn't the thread for opinions on budget options but it moves much faster than the PC building thread: Is the 960 a good option if I'm stepping up from a 550Ti? Was considering the 750Ti but the 960 looks significantly better and only 50 bucks more, which is fine since 200 dollars is the upper limit for what I would want to spend right now. I'm a neanderthal who's still gaming at 1080p, for what it's worth. Also, what's this about the Witcher 3 code with purchase offer ending/already being over? I had a few friends interested in buying the Witcher code if I got it to help subsidize the cost, but nobody I know of is too interested in Arkham Knight.

I picked up a 970 today because of a weekly sale at a retailer that brought the price down ~$70 from 49,000Y to 40,000Y. (other stores carry the card for 53,000+ - $426 USD!) Fortunately the sale was specifically for the MSI Twin Frozr! No bundled games though. PC parts market sucks in this country. Upgraded from a 750 Ti. My 450W Silverstone SFF PSU seems up to the task as well! Now I'm eyeballing a 1440p or 4K G-Sync monitor. I don't intend to do much gaming at 4K, I know the 970 isn't quite up to that task, I mostly want the res for my photography work and will run games at 1080p. Nice to see nVidia announced a bunch of 4K monitors coming this year as well - I'll wait for one of those instead of picking up that Acer IPS monitor that everyone's clamoring for. Oh, and nVidia announced windowed g-sync hell yeah! The ability to run games at virtual full-screen/windowed full-screen and still get g-sync! Thank you, thank you, thank you for that nVidia.

I'm a neanderthal who's still gaming at 1080p, for what it's worth. The Witcher code is one of those 'while supplies last' things. And the base-model 970s are flirting with $300 after rebates already. Sooner or later you'll be able to stack a coupon with a rebate and get one for slightly under $300.

As incredibly tempting as that 980ti is, it'd still be a hefty investment. Even selling my 970 and buying a reference 980ti for 650 would put me out $400, and that's too rich for my blood. Besides, I'm at 1080p. A 970 does wonders. I'll probably wait for Pascal with its 2nd gen HMB. reasonably smart idea or no?
