Stay with 980 Ti or upgrade to 1080 ?

[reconminicon]

I thought there was no software available yet to get benchmarks out of VR!?!

And if I wait the price of my 970's will drop too. Now the sale would fund a 980ti, roughly. But then again if I wait all prices will drop so be about the same. Swap for a 980ti so I have no SLI issues or put probably about £250 towards a 1080? The numbers are not good but I am craving a 1080. I think I might be stuck to the front of the hype train! Someone scrape me off!

you may not have dedicated bench marks but you can have an fps counter and compare manually.

If the 980ti is a lot cheaper than the 1080 then that's your best bet for an affordable, noticeable upgrade.

Okay. So on a good day I should get £180 & £200 for my cards. One boxed one not. I can get a 980ti for about £400. So I think its a no brainer.

Question is which ti? Conflicting reviews and comments. But am I right saying the Strix or EVGA Hybrid? What's you think?

I would get the evga card. Evgas warranty is excellent and it's transferable if you sell the card.

That would depend on the country you live in, Australia the warranty doesn't get passed on it stays with the original buyer.

@jimma47 The thing is it is not a noticeable upgrade. Sometimes 970 SLI out performs a 980ti. I just want rid of SLI. Getting addicted to Cities Skyline and only having access to one card is a kill joy. And DooM for example dont support it. It will but that dont help! Not that it needs it because 1 970 runs it very well. Only maybe 2 options not maxed. So EVGA! That is good to know! I could buy second hand with warranty! Nice. Am I right in understanding these are the best 980ti? Standard and overclocking ect?

For the record I am in not so Great Britain

Skylines is incredibly addictive. I bought it on sale and have played some serious time into it.

 

[reconminicon]

Yea it is very addictive. I dream about intersections!! Got it on Steam the other day for £7.81. But the price has gone back up!

Back on topic, just bought a EVGA Hybrid for £370 with 849 days warranty still on it!

Ive not read the posts above but Id be a man and overclock your Ti for now.

Sound advice! I am doing the upgrade but only because it's gonna cost me 8 quid through the step up ha ha

i have 2xstrix 980Ti, not sure if dump now or wait for volta...
volta seems to be the logical upgrade...

Wait. You would spend all that money for little benefit.

6gb is old, but 8gb is not enough

Stay with 980ti and wait for the 1080ti to come along

Probably be spring next year, That's a long time to wait although the performance jump from a 980 Ti to a 1080 Ti should be quite large.

I can deal with that wait. Not much of a rise from 980Ti to 1080 and as soon as the Ti variant comes, the 1080 loses value fast.
