assuming the 980 is in good condition, the performance per dollar is worth it
but it all depends on what you do with the card, what resolution and graphics settings are you aiming for?
if u want nothing but the best and have money to splurge, u can get the 980Ti. otherwise, the 980 will still deliver a good experience imo

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Really I mean I told my brother if I do get the 980 I can easily sell my 770 and it's like I paid $100 for the 980 but then I wouldn't wanna upgrade again later in the future :/ his 980 is a msi 4gb Oc edition.

Thing Is I got a 600w psu and I would need to get a different one if I wanna go Sli but imo I wouldn't want Sli tbh I'm more of a single card user:p

Well my budget is $900 I can easily get the 980ti and still buy like a 3tb hard drive or something but what Ima be doing is playing games like bf4 crysis etc at 1440p or higher if I down scale

Ill be playing bf4 at 1440p and. Can still down scale it if I wanted too

900 dollars budget, IMO i will just get a spanking nice 980Ti Hybrid EVGA and OC the balls out of it

 

1440P with 8xAA will be a piece of cake for the 980Ti

 

 

throw in a SSD and HDD combo if you are at it

Any idea on what the temps are on the regular 980 cause the 980ti max is 50c the hybrid edition which sounds great to me

I currently have a msi krait editon motherboard and a 4790k with a 600w power supply thst would be able to run the 980ti with no problems right?

that depends on the current your PSU can deliver on the 12v rail, u can check the gpu's website for the requirements (though it will be much higher if u OC the card)

80 is when GPU boost auto OC the GPU even further

Well I looked at the 980ti and it says the required psu is 600 plus so i think I'm good but damn idk $300 for the 980 is a great price as well ;-;

I would get the 980 then sell it for the 1080 Ti. 

 

I have a 980, with an OC it's about stock 980 Ti performance. OC'd 980 Ti is about 20% faster. So 400 extra for the 980 TI is not worth it.

It's the EVGA 600B psu

that PSU is just ok

 

you can power the 980Ti

 

but OC might not be possible then

pascal wont be out until June

 

unless you are really in need of a GPU

 

maybe try holding out buying any GPU

 

but nVidia always love to release the second best model like 1080 before you see their flagship 1080Ti model
