980ti or 1080

[Tim0800922002]

Hi, im currendly struggling if i should buy the Gtx 1080 for 730€ or just buy a 980ti from ebay for 425€.. im currently gaming on a lg um67-p 34inch 1080p ultrawide monitor

[iBeast_M0de]

If power isn't a concern (even tho the diffrence isn't that big) go with the cheaper option u don't need more than the 980ti will be able to give u. And a big plus its way cheaper 

[Dzzope]

firstly, wait till the cheaper cards come in with custom coolers to see what prices will do.. Then it's a price to performance trade off. Either are fully capable at that res.

[Shoob]

Maybe wait a bit for a 1070? It's more than enough for a 1080p ultrawide monitor.

[Tim0800922002]

yeah i waited for 3 months now and finally want to play games again

I'd wait to see what board partner 1070s go for, then decide between the 980ti and the 1070 based on price and how much use the ti has since it might be worth a little (though not 200+ euros like the 1080) for a new card

 

Edit: Otherwise 980ti since the price difference is too high, and 1080 is overkill for 1080p

[iiNNeX]

980ti since you are only at 1080p. And even then it's overkill for that res.

 

That or wait for 1070.

[IMPERIUS]

can you wait for a 1070? thats plenty for a 1080p UW and it should be cheaper than the 425eur 980ti

[Tim0800922002]

mmh  when will the 1070 ready to buy?

 

[Tim0800922002]

in the Eu

[MrBucket101]

honestly you should just buy a 970

 

both of the cards you listed are overkill for your resolution. no need to spend money when you won't see a benefit

This will probably take a while the 1080 isn't available either and I think u'll be overpaying in the beginnen considering that that has always been the cause in the EU

In europe I have no clue, in the US it's release june 10th so how long did it take the 1080 to become available in your area after the US release(US was may 27th btw)

The 1080 is still inthe pre-order phase and if I have to believe the stuff on some websites it will take over 2 weeks to ship

 

Edit: In NL that is

Well then that's 3 weeks after launch more or less, so first/second week of july is most likely when it will come out for the EU

äähm @

MrBucket101

had 2 of those and it hadnt enough power to max out all settings in all games(wasnt even close to max settings at the end)

That would be considered fast the 980ti was 5 weeks late. And even then the prices were sky high

[Rodinski]

300 bucks cheaper? Sure! I say do it. The 980ti can easily overclock to match 1080 speeds.
