It will be good for some years. It ties with the GTX 1070 in performance, though it does draw 66.7% more power than the Pascal equivalent.

Hello, i am wondering if it is worth it to get a GTX 980ti for £350 ($495). I know it still performs well and it is much cheaper than to get a new gpu because i want to upgrade from my GTX 570 but i don't want to pay stupid prices. So do you think the 980ti will be good for a few years and what pascal card is it equivalent to?

Main PC: ASUS PRIME X299-A / Core i7 7820X / 16GB DDR4 / Palit GTX 1070 Ti / Corsair CX550F / Corsair Carbide Air 540

Secondary PC: ASUS X99-A / Core i7 5820K / 16GB DDR4 / EVGA GTX 780 ti Classified / Corsair CX500M / Fractal Define S

I had an i7 6700 with the TITAN X Maxwell which is very on pair with the 980 Ti, you'll get performances between the 1070 and 1070 Ti once overclock... it'll be enough to run most games on 1920x1080p all max out keeping 60fps so definitely a huge upgrade from a GTX 570.

good because that what i was going to buy anyway so if i can just get the same performance for cheaper i may as well get the 980ti.
