If I would have waited 45 minutes longer I would have lost out on $400. I bought a Titan X exactly 15 days ago from Best Buy online,which is their max return limit. As soon as I saw the 980TI pop up I was able to order one from Nvidia,take out my Titan X,drive to work to print out a receipt and then drive over to Best Buy right before closing and get my $1100 back.
Now I'm stuck using my Intel graphics chip until it comes in so no Witcher 3 but I got overnight so hopefully early this week. (I want a second one too)

That or they are planning on this being a game ending move by them. AMD GPU's are already at one of their lowest adoption rates ever, they may be using this as a final "We run this" moment to AMD.
That or yes, the 390X is a true monster.
Actually that's pretty much the same with my 780ti sc with the atx cooler...
That's what happens when I'm making the most out of the card anyway - maybe that's just how they work at high loads...will definitely get the cooler yeah.
He owns a Titan X lol

If I know anything about that game, the minimum FPS is not 60 and the average ain't 60.

GPU wars.

Just look at where the money is, and how well AMD is doing, and the market share.
AMD having console contracts basically means not too much because they make so little per unit.
Actually, it is kind of a big deal. NV taking over all ranges of the GPU space is quite an important (bad) thing that could happen.

Welp, they are sold out now on Nvidia's Site... Backorder now...

Just you watch, AMD is going to get their GPUs in the PS5 and the Xbox Two and Nvidia will be salty and go bankrupt. Again.

Nothing can run Hairworks in 4k.
Card seems nice for sure but the gains seem minimal. I think I will hold out for the next gen cards in a year or so.
I agree.
If there is no competition, Nvidia can slack off and keep their pricing up while not offering any substantial improvements.

Because this is the current GPU market share graph
Nvidia is currently destroying AMD in market share, more now than basically any point in time ever. And now they drop this bomb.
In terms of market share this is a MAJOR move
Wipe nVidia out? What?
If anything, this card represents an enormous leap forward for nVidia and PC gaming as a whole.
AMD is once again too late, and possibly with too little. I was rooting for them but at this point Fiji needs to be 15% faster at least for anyone to care after this being this late to market.

Just in time to run games in 4k @ 30fps, when PC gamers will be in their holodecks lol.
Lol
Dat alliance, Nvidia gonna have to call Nintendo for back up in this GPU war future.
I would love to help him, but the tears in my eyes are getting in the way. Adam pls ;_;
Been waiting over a year to build a new PC so I could finally play all the games I've been missing out on over the past few years (currently on a first gen core2duo + radeon 7800).
Been so disappointed with everything Intel/AMD/Nvidia have been doing the last few years basically recycling the same tech for CPUs/GPUs.
I had finally come to a point where I just didnt want to wait any longer and have been planing to build a gaming PC with a 970 since IMO a 980 or titan X just weren't worth it.
A 980 TI at $650 from the king of price gougers that are NVIDIA? - This came as a surprise to me considering I'd been hearing rumors of an $800 price point.
I'll wait to see what AMD does with Fiji but I just don't see myself buying a GPU with only 4gb of vram over a card with 6gb no matter the bandwidth.
Good on Nvidia to finally release a decent card with an ok price point.

If we are going to read the future, we may as well use the past as our guide.
The amount AMD makes from consoles is dwarfed many time over, by what Nvidia makes in the dedicated GPU space.
By conceding the console contracts, Nvidia was essentially giving AMD the bread crumbs from a much larger feast.

I didn't really mean that in a sarcastic way. It's literally a war between AMD and nVidia.

Not really, 600$ GPU's are never the big sellers. What matters is how good AMD's mid range 3XX GPU's are.

We want better pc cards. Sure amd can live to fight another day probably but what's the point if they can't compete.Obliterator

Pretty sure the 780ti was a huge seller, this will be even bigger.

Looks like I'm gonna be trading in my Titan X for SLI 980TIs. I can taste it now

Shhh no tears. Only bats now.
Just waiting for it to go up on Amazon to see how much it'll cost to ship and/or if the custom cooler variants are much more. Does anyone know when listings usually go up?

Doesn't matter if they sell well or not, his (correct) point is that the high-end is a tiny fraction of total graphic card sales. An overwhelming majority of it is in the ~$200 range.
Even if Fiji stomps the 980 Ti, it won't really do much for AMD's overall marketshare. They need clear winners in the $150-300 bracket.
Read something about 3AM PST on Reddit.

It does matter. Nvidia already completely own the market in general. Dude they have a 76% market share. AMD at this point is being totally driven out of the market.
This move and price was made for ONE reason. To continue Nvidia's market share, anyone thinking anything else are mistaken. Nvidia doesn't just mark down price on their new cards for the hell of it. The move was made to take the thunder from the 300 series announcement.
This isn't GPU warz its facts. We have the graph and we can see the trends. The 980ti as we have it and at the price it is was designed to counter the 300 series announcement.

This card is going to stay supreme for the rest of the year, right? I'm building in December and I assume there won't be another high-end nvidia card announced between now and then
Link please?

Sweet, now I can get confused at what GPUs you have again for the 3rd time.
