I think 180w TDP for a card that appears to be at least 20% faster than a Titan X is pretty fucking amazing. I don't think AMD's offerings are going to be much better in the power department than nvidia's.

Look benches up yourself. The Fury and Nano generally run neck and neck with the 980, but the 980 has about 20% average overclock headroom, whereas the Fury and Nano are lucky to see 5%. Sorry.

Wonderful. Also ferraris are faster than planes. See, I can say things too, it doesn't mean that they're true. An overclocked 980 is faster than everything made by AMD except for a Fury X. That's a fact. Even at 1440p. There are COUNTLESS benchmarks to back it up, unlike your claim.

Well, they're not better, though. Unless by better you mean something other than better frame rates in games? It's techspot, of course it's legit. The discrepancy is because the benches you linked are the originals, the benches I linked are the ones after nvidia and AMD released patches to better optimize for DX12.

Was this meant to be JC3 for nvidia and Ashes for AMD? Because the 980 is faster in both: http://www.techspot.com/review/1081-dx11-vs-dx12-ashes/page3.html

I have an AMD GPU (right now) because when I bought my 7970 in 2012, it was UNBELIEVABLY good. Surprisingly, today, four years later, it's still a really good GPU at 1080p, so I haven't replaced it yet.

I think you mean it'll outperform the Fury when you OC it.

100% the 980 Ti G1 Gaming. It's one of the best out of the box overclockers of the reasonably priced 980 Ti partner cards.

Once you've overclocked both cards, the 980 is more than a little bit faster.

100% return it now. The 980 Ti is well known as the best of a card that it is because of partners like MSI, Gigabyte, Asus and Zotac slapping aftermarket coolers on custom PCB's. Sure the reference card is fast, but the non reference is faster and for very little extra cost.

No. It would be very hard to find someone who is willing to spend the cash to buy your "novelty" card. Honestly your best bet is to swap it for that pair of 980's. Two 980's will pretty well eat anything for lunch, including 1440p at high framerates or 4K at an average of around 60fps. Right now, that Titan Z is a boat anchor, the fact that anyone's offering something current and actually GOOD is surprising to me.

You have one other option my friend: https://pcmonitors.info/asus/asus-pg348q-100hz-curved-ultrawide-ips/

No. Just because FinFET is going to improve performance per watt doesn't mean that's all it'll improve. Polaris will launch with desktop gaming gpu's and gaming laptops. http://wccftech.com/amd-confirms-polaris-gpus-released-school-season-desktops-laptops/

They're not going to debut their new GPU in laptops brah.

You've gotta stop saying this, there's no backing for it.
