Both evga cards. the reason its $100 + shipping is because it uses EVGA Step up program. my current card has coil whine while folding and less while gaming and I would like the 3 DP. are the cards going to perform similarly.

The 980ti performs better so I would get it.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

The 980ti is like the Titan X's younger sister that has a bigger tits and butt but is a slightly dumber.

The Sayu Yagami to Light Yagami, but actually relevant to the plot and a decent character

Why not, the 980 FTW is about a 550 dollar card and the 980 ti is a 650 dollar card, so you are basically not losing anything, in fact if you already used the thing youd be getting a good deal, because god knows no one is gonna give you 550 for a used 980 now.

Got my FTW for $460 and step up is the same cost for me ($100 and some change). I might do this as well.

Wouldn't it be the difference between 460 and 650? I thought EVGA made you show your receipt and they went off that price, or is it just the MSRP difference regardless of what you paid?

I have no idea. I uploaded my invoice, registered and everything; the total Step Up cost is like $124.46 with shipping.

Edit: reading through their FAQ on the Step Up process it says the price might be adjusted at a later date based on the invoice uploaded. So I might get charged more, I'll wait and see.

I'd be interested to know if they make you pay the full difference, I bet they do, in which case your good deal on the ftw went for nothing.

I got a great deal on an 980 sc and I'm considering the same thing, which is why I'm interested.

Are you actually unsatisfied with the performance of your 980 or are you just looking for the newest thing?

Also how the fuck are you shipping it and paying $100? If you're in US or CAN it should be much less.

the $100 I'm guessing is the combined cost of the Step Up + shipping cost; which  adds up I think. I could be mistaken though.

I'm hoping they only have me pay the initial stated difference. If I do end up having to pay more I may consider keeping my 980. It all depends.

100 + however much shipping costs + tax = total cost
