Titan Black will last you another year or 2 easily :P

 

Titan Black is a basically a 780 ti with 6GB VRAM and some other tweaks (2*point floating precision, etc).

 

a 780ti is about as powerful as a 980.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)
