i just recently found this http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/anton-shilov/galax-offers-geforce-gtx-980-ti-graphics-card-for-extreme-overclockers/ and it says it cost 1K ( its the same price for TITAN X ) do you think its overpriced or its worth it ? compared to ASUS Platinum that cost 710$ and Strix 670$ ?

Its for aesthetics. Not performance. It depends if that matters to the buyer.

Not really. U would have to water cool it to make any use of that.

Not every 980ti can handle the same OC, so IMO no its not worth 200$ for like 5 more fps when i can get a titan x at that point. Its for people who want a clean looking system and have an OCD that makes them want capacitors in rows.

You're not going to get much further than 1.275-1.3v out of the card on water or air, Maxwell cards don't like voltage when on ambient cooling methods.

This card is meant for Ln2.

thats your opinion. People buy it because they get STABLE power, and QUIET operation. And good looking cards. It will be the fastest card on the market.
