No problem!
In general, the stock coolers (on the CPU and the video card) are totally fine for keeping them at the recommended temps. The Corsair cooler will allow for better overclocking of the CPU, but you may not care about that (especially if it's your first build.)

We've been through this before in other threads but no they don't in a lot of cases. People who buy premium products like that often don't give a shit. They want the best and they want it now.
In this case its still the best and they have already had it for months. Hence, they wont care.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
I am curious to see how these two hold up with VR. Will that double VRAM help get those games runs better on VR?
Gsync works well with my SLI setup ( titan x sli on rog swift ). You're still adding a frame of latency no matter wat versus a single card though.

Titan X only has a slight edge to the 980 ti, but remember that the 980 ti is binned Titan Xs. Those original Titan X owners are still getting the best chips out there.

Bullsh...
I don't need to game at higher than 60 fps.
Great card, but not for us Fractal Node 304 owners. 970 is still the best option.
You do. You just don't know it.

I haven't opened my 980 FTW. Wonder how much I can sell that for?

Return it?

$650 USD is $849.73 AUD. PCCasegear has the cards for $999 AUD, which is only $150 more. As stated in the thread, you can always import, although I'm not sure where people import from.

I think Newegg has a 15% restock fee and it's about about 35 days.

As I said earlier in the thread:
650 USD = 850 AUD
+10% GST because local stores include sales tax in their advertised prices = 935 AUD
It retails for 999-1050 on PCCG. So actually this is an alright translation. Long gone are the days of 1USD = 1AUD.

I might just have to step up.. If I'm able to do that still.

Yuck. Yeah I stopped buying from Newegg for that return policy alone. 15% restock on even new items is BS.
I imagine you can probably still get $500 for that 980 on eBay, or in the B/S/T thread
edit: Oh yeah! Totally forgot about step-up. I guess all you have to do is hope some 980 ti comes in stock at EVGA. Though quickly scanning their step-up criteria there's some warranty registration shenanigans in there

I really like that euro price
I hope there will be some games packed in too.
It's pretty much false.
The current price for a 980 on the european EVGA site is around 650-700+ euros (730 euros with stock cooler).

It's... let's say quite unlikely that the 980 Ti is going to cost much less than a 980.

Keep in mind that this range of card has always launched at roughly the $700 price point. Not to mention they're still on a 28nm process, one that is probably a lot less expensive to produce since they've had years doing it. I'm sure AMD has something up their sleeve but I don't really feel like this pricing is any indication of it.
Wait what now, I have a Node 304 and am planning on getting this card from my 670, I really hope the Asus custom one will fit....

I didn't make a mistake getting Titan X's, I didn't make a mistake getting Titan X's, I didn't make a mistake getting Titan X's.
Honestly though, the 980ti seems like a great card.

I'm gonna have trouble fitting this into a mITX case, aren't I?

Alright, I have to go to bed. Is that 3 am PST time trustworthy? I don't want to set my alarm, wake up, and have nothing have gone up.
Titan X is $999.99 until it's successor arrives. The GTX 980 Ti is SLIable.
Oh. So it stays 1000$ until the next Titan/overpriced GPU? that sucks

Why would it change? Titans have always worked this way. An extra 6gb VRAM and 10% more CUDA cores will keep it at $999, plus it carries the Titan name.

Yeah Titan's are like Nvidia's supercar, they don't care about pricing compared to other models

LOL yep
Edit: Then again...this card at this price is mighty tempting. Fiji must be something special to cause nVidia to suddenly have a come to Jesus moment with their normally ridiculous pricing. Ain't competition grand?
I'm going to hold out & see if AMD releases a 4GB Tonga XT card this summer. That would be the bang for the buck, efficient/cool GPU I've been jonesing for. If AMD releases only rebadges below Fiji, however, I'll likely go green for my main gaming rig. Unless Fiji comes in at the same price as the 980 Ti (I know highly unlikely)...

One thing I really hate, I have no idea who's selling these in the UK. I've ordered a Titan x which hasn't dispatched yet, been trying to get one since April and now just thinking about canceling it...I might have to wait weeks to get this card 
Which vendor are people going for?

That would be 1300 AUD raw, then qualify for the over 1000 threshold meaning you'd get charged 10% on top of that bringing you up to 1430 dollars. Not that far away from the 1600 that the Titan X costs here.
Could get a friend to send one as a gift for ~1200 total, but you're right.

I've done the calcs above, but basically this 980ti local pricing is not that bad of a rip off. Like it's a bit over what the conversion would be but not an extreme gouging. I've paid a hair over 900 to get it shipped from the US, but this is only like a 10% saving and it's under the tax free threshold.
Do we have data from amd yet?Sooooo. can we now say for real that Nvidia took AMD's lunch money ?

Because reasons
The AUD and USD were roughly at parity for a couple of years, which was fantastic for importers. But our economy was artificially inflated by a mining boom which has now slowed, and the US / other countries economies were hit with financial problems. The US recovers, Australia falls, PC enthusiasts weep.
Yeah "NO FUCKING REASON", do you expect retailers here to give them away or something? The Aussie dollar is fucked at the moment, import one if it pisses you off that much.
No one seems to give two fucks about the price anyway, the thirst is real.

Hopefully with this the GTX 980 will get a price cut soon. I could start building a gaming pc again. Been on consoles since the ps3 released.
