Don't get me wrong the 980ti is still a freaking beast of a card and will be for a long time. I just wanted an upgrade to two 1080's for some VR and stuff:)

They havnt even been a benchmark of these cards ... the performance gain may be big or small, I would rather wait until some legit benchmark are out.

Why the hell would you sell it now? You should be waiting for big pascal instead. Congrats on losing value.

welcome to technology, half its value in a couple years.

Yep, true that. Why I buy big and run it till the wheels fall off LOL. Everyone's talking Kaby Lake and I rock a MPOWER MAX Z97 and a 4790K. Kaby's a noob LOL

Tell me something I don't already know, tool. My comment still holds validity.

no need to be a douche, friend. just showing you that whatever you buy there's always going to be something better. I didn't enjoy the look of the card regardless, so I'll buy a better looking, air cooled one anyway.

This seems insane to me. Very rarely is the next generation a worthwhile upgrade for the previous within the same price bracket (and almost never in a cheaper price bracket). To sell before we've even seen real benchmarks is just begging for disappointment and regret.

I have a spare 980ti so I have a fallback:)

Lord WHY?

 

What is with the rush to throw away good cards and upgrade?

 

Frankly, almost no one running a 970 or 980 should be looking to upgrade.  You can skip this generation and wait for the 2xxx series cards in a year or so.

Some folks just have to have the latest and greatest.  Nothing wrong with that provided it's within means.

Sure, I understand that...  but I doubt that is the majority of the cases...

 

Too many posts from people saying, "will my AMD xxx or Intel XXX bottleneck a 1080, or will my 980 be ok?  I don't have the money to buy both a new CPU and the new GPU.

 

For pete's sake, if you're limited on funds and you have a 980 now, you shouldn't even be thinking about a new GPU for a few years.

 

I'll buy one because I have to, but I'm not going to put it into my personal computer.  I've got a 980 TI there and it isn't going anywhere for a few years.  I'll sell the 1070 and 1080 once I'm done with them, I imagine someone will want them.
