NVIDIA Announces the GeForce GTX 980 Ti Graphics Card

There will always be retailers who'll inflate the price. Most expected the card to come in at $800. At $650 its almost reasonable....... This puts alot of pressure on Amd.......

Right now there is probably is a lot of Rage and Fury at the Amd camp

Two 970s in SLI will get 5-20% better FPS than one 980 TI at a lower cost, so in term of Price-Performance, the 970 is still King at P2P. (This coming from PC Gamer's review)

I'm quite happy with my EVGA 970 SSC SLI. no issues at all. Witcher 3 runs fine on Ultra. Ofc I have a 1080p ASUS Gaming monitor, nothing like 4K or anything, which the 980 TI will probably do a lot better at.

To be fair, the 970 SLi option comes with some caveat's, some users may not have SLi capable boards, there are quite a few Z97 and Z87 boards out there without SLi capability (granted low to mid range boards) and although they probably only pull around 120W more combined that may mean some would need a new PSU, more importantly though...... is anyone going to go Titan when they see the price difference for what in essence is a 2-4% performance increase?

That's very true. I totally forgot about the motherboard compatibility. I know in the past I had systems with only one pcie 3 slot so one gpu was the only option. So guess this really works if you have a good sli board but want the best price 2 perf in terms of gpus. Personally I have a 750w gold psu and it runs fine but I can see where someone who had a psu based on one gpu might need a replacement psu. Good pointers
