My plan is to  get rid of my 780 Tis and get two 980 Tis.  Waiting for the non reference versions to come out.  Specifically, the MSI Gaming version.

Its very tempting to go to the green side. It was obviously priced aggressively because of the upcoming 390x and thats great for consumers (besides titan x owners). I will wait for the board partners to release their versions and make my decisions then. Im happy with the 295x2 and 29" ultrawide freesync, but I really want one the the upcoming 144hz ultra wides with Gsync

i7-5820k @ 4.6ghz w/ H100i || Asus Sabertooth x99 || Gigabyte 980ti G1 ||  EVGA 980ti SC || 32gb DDR4 2666mhz Gskil || 1tb WD Black HDD || Samsung XP941 256gb M.2 PCIe || EVGA 1300w G2 || Corsair 540 w/ Silverstone Sound Dampening Foam || Logisys RGB Led  || Corsair M65 Mouse  & Corsair RGB k70 || A lot of Corsair SP120s

I'm in the same boat, don't know whether to sell my GTX980 for the Ti.

 

I will be building a X99 (5930k) in July, so prices should have dropped on the vanilla gtx980, so I don't know if I'll Sli the GTX980's or just go for the GTX980ti, only gaming at 1080p@144hz, but will be looking to grab one of those Acer Predators GYSNC 1440p@144hz at the same time as the upgrade.

I'd keep your 980 for 1080p. Wait until Pascal or a true next gen card and upgrade resolutions with it. This gives you time to save for a new monitor and a new card. In the meantime you can still comfortably play all your favorite games at 1080p. Upgrading from a 980 to a 980ti for 1080p makes little to no sense right now IMO.

4790K - Titan X - 16GB Vengeance 1866 - Asus Vii Hero - EVGA G2 850w - Samsung Evo 500gb - Corsair 760T - ROG SWIFT

So I am going to upgrade to the 980 ti. I'm listing my 980 for sale tonight and try to get $500~ for it before they drop in price. Then I am selling some Air Jordan's for the rest of the funds. It should cost me almost nothing for the upgrade. Any of you upgrading as well?

I'll buy it for $350 if u dont mind

Man, I remember the good old days when the $300 card WAS the top card..... Nvidia...you bastards. Now it's acceptable to spend $600 LOL...or MORE....

 

RIP my 8800 GT....

 

When was that? Eight years ago this July I bought my current computer which is a Gateway FX530 that came with this EVGA 8800 GTX 768 Mb factory overclocked GPU and it cost me $700. It was the top card at the time and it's still running great today. I guess I'm saying that's what I'm expecting a top GPU to cost so today's prices for a GTX 980 Ti are in line.

Judging by the benchmarks I think this will be a great card for my 1440p monitor, but I'm waiting to see what AMD brings to the table with their next cards.

Was the card $700 or the entire computer? I had made a computer from scratch and I used the 8800 GT and the total was just under $900. I only reused the monitor, mouse/keyboard... but new mobo/ram/cpu and stuff. I think it was the Core 2 Duo 6750, with 4 Gb ram and a Gigabyte mobo. Still works but the 8800 is dead and replaced that with a GTX 275. The PSU needs replaced though as it whines.

Once fiji arrives I may or may not go one way or the other. The heat output of crossfire 290s is giving my air conditioner a fight it can barely win. If fiji is a paper launch and isn't available this month, I might just jump on the 980ti bandwagon. Its been a while since I've had a flagship nvidia card.

I want to upgrade to 980 Ti but have to get two 980's off my hands first. It may just be first day excitement and after the dust has settled I'll still be happy with my 980's.

8800 GT wasn't the top end card. The 8800 GTX was $650. The 8800 ultra was $830. Top end cards have always been very expensive. Considering the 980 Ti is $650 8 years after the 8800 GTX, that's a good value. $650 then is not equivalent to $650 now.

You're right I was quoting from memory while at work today. I just checked my records and the factory OC 768mb 8800GTX cost me $600 as an upgrade option. My total order including a 22" widescreen display, Intel Quad Core Q6600 CPU and Windows Vista Ultimate was $2286 (after sales discounts!) back in July 2007. Things haven't really changed much price-wise but the value is better now.

The performance increase from the 8800 GT to the 8800 GTX was not worth $300 where as the 970 to 980 ti is worth the $300 if you really play a lot of games.

 

At least... in my opinion. Plus my card died after 3 years anyhow I didn't upgrade it until I had no choice.
