EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB FTW GAMING ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling w/ Free Installed Backplate Graphics Card 06G-P4-4996-KR is $644.55USD ( ~891.30AUD using 28 degrees) shipped at Amazon. Lowest on Static Ice is 965AUD before postage from Kogan.
CamelCamelCamel.
Unless like myself you've preordered the Rift CV1 and need to meet rift spec :P
Touche` have fun with the Rift, GTA5 is going to be sickeningly enjoyable (but a little disturbing) I imagine!
Well, the idea is you sell off whatever you currently have to subsidise the total cost of upgrading. Waiting until May/June would mean whatever you currently have would be worth less and therefore would cost you even more to upgrade then. Also, I don't believe the Ti version comes out immediately when the new generation is introduced. Of course, there are downsides and upsides to what you propose.
Sometimes people seem to comment on this sort of thing like when the new Nvidia cards come out the 980ti will stop having the ability to run games. The 980ti will be a very good card for quite some time and like you said if you sell it when the new cards are released you will be able to get a fairly decent sale price for it that will subsidise the new purchase.
Highly doubt the Ti equivalent would come out in May/June See what happened this generation with the 980 (Sep 14) and Titan X (Mar 15). The 980 Ti was released in June 15.
That seller doesn't seem to ship to Australia?
Choose the one sold by Amazon not third-party seller. Righthand side below the large Add to Cart button.
Plus, there's only one available.
One remaining is from third-party seller. Amazon one is in stock.
Ah.. its been awhile since I purchased something from Amazon.
Thanks guys! yeah 1 left…. tempting.
A$928.84 using Amazon conversion. Or pay A$1129 locally (staticice, not including Kogan). Plus you get The Division game code from Amazon, doubt you will get the code from Kogan.
I got the EVGA CLassified 980Ti from newegg 3weeks ago when they had the (10% off up to $60 off promo) for $890. Great card, runs everything at max on 1440p.
Is there some problem with DX12 and current gen of NVIDIA cards?
Not that I know of, but there are currently 0 games released that benefit from DX12.
there is 1 http://store.steampowered.com/app/228880/
nvidia still stacks up alright the however 390x is on par (1080p) in dx12 or only just behind 1440 and 2160p
It's in early access and does not count as being officially released.
Hey it is what it is man…… the growing trend of early access games these days who knows when official releases are going to happen…
hell I've seen AAA title games 'officially released' that SHOULD still be pre-alpha and half finished. batman ark knight, just cause 3, assassins creed unity… the list goes on
@irev1: What I meant is, because the game is still considered in development, the performance and features of the game is not yet set in stone and could very well change in the future.
Heck this a direct quote from that page:
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“There are a few features that aren’t currently in Early Access. We still need to add the single player Ascendancy War and the Tutorial, plus some additional maps. We are always working on improvements in performance, compatibility, and stability as we move toward release.”
In contrast most AAA games that have horrible performance such as the 3 mentioned in your list have mostly seen little to no performance increases in future patches.
The maxwell architecture doesn't have asynchronus computation at the hardware level, only the software level. This means Nvidia has to enable a driver update in order for the maxwell architecture to do parallel computation on the software level, it's not as effective if it were on the hardware level which GCN cards from AMD have but it's still "doable".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_900_series#DirectX_12_…
By the time Pascal is released that argument will no longer matter and AMD will still be up shit Creek. It will also be when games actually start to utilise dx12 on a large scale rather than being relegated to unpopular no name games without an official release.
also one has to bear in mind that DX12 games will be a rarity and probably not move into full swing untill 2017…. so there is plenty of life left in a maxwell nvidia card when the majority of games are still DX11
Is this a reference design card?
No, it has EVGA's ACX cooler
Not bad, but I'd imagine if you've got almost $900 in your pocket to buy a new video card that you'd be better waiting May / June…
