MSI has just unveiled a GTX 980Ti with a non-reference blower design cooler. A budget GTX 980Ti?

Replace the "GTX 980ti" and MSI stickers with Hello Kitty ones and you are pretty much ready to roll!

A sticker as oppose to some brushed aluminium is always going to look like shit "In my opinion" but if you just want a fast graphics card which is going to sit in a closed windowless case and is never going to be overclocked then why the hell not.
Personally I think we need cards like this for the people who don't care about aesthetics, and saying that I'm from Doncaster and I'm usually tight as fuck, but when it comes to my PC I just want it to look the balls and go like stink.

That looks like bargain basement cheap tack. Good point about watercooling folk removing it anyway to fit block and for those aesthetically challenged cases, but then again this will be the inferior brother to MSI's other range of 980ti's. I'd be intrigued to know what the ASIC quality of the gpu is.

Its also £20 more expensive than a reference 980Ti on OcUK so there goes the possible "bargain 980Ti angle"
It's also a full £60 more than this puppy https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-090-ZT&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1402

Mmmm, yummy good old fashioned price gouging for the lose !
MSI has been using this cooler for a while now. Every card they have made it with is usually cheaper than the rest, because the cooler is nothing but plastic and, well, cheaper than the rest.
So the only reason this costs what it does is because people are rushing to buy them at launch. That wouldn't even be so bad but for Fury.

That Zotac 980Ti Amp card I linked to has just jumped up to £550 from its original price of £500.

This would be awesome for a hackintosh built inside the older good looking Mac Pro tower with side panel modded window

May I direct your attention to this card - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/4gb-...0mhz-gddr5-1127mhz-boost-1216mhz-mdp-mhdmi-dv
PNY just need to make a 980Ti version. The aluminium shroud would fit perfectly with an older Mac pro aestetic. We have a load of them spare in our studio and you've now got me seriously tempted to do one.
