No.  Before the gpu price rise, a 980ti for $250 was a good deal, $300 was a ripoff.

Try using the PSU Tier List!

It is essentially a 1070 so would you pay 400 for a slightly older used 1070? I would say it's a toss up as most gpus are way overpriced atm so it's not that bad of a deal all things considered. Might also want to think about how the next gen gpus are coming out within the coming months most likely.

Not a very good deal unless you can't find a used gtx1070 for around $400.

Haaaaa...sure you don't mean "new"? Used for 400 is terrible.

 

As for the OP, $400 for 980 Ti is bad. If it were a hundred less and you couldn't find a 1070, maybe.

Sure, depending on the card and proof of overclocks. 

Anyway the 980 Ti OC'd beats the 1070 stock/overclocked regardless, just that the 980 Ti lacks 2GB less while using more power than the 1070.

$400 is the unfortunate going rate right now.  Still a powerful card...1070ti-ish.
