So is nobody going to make a thread about this awesome awesome graphics card?

Is nobody else going to drool over it until the day comes when I save every penny for it, splurge, come up short from HST, then suck dick in Markham to make up the difference?

...guys?

Yeah. There's pretty much no reason to get a 770 over a 970, or a 780/780ti over a 980.
Except if you already have a 770, 780 or 780ti and you need a second one.
I have a 660Ti and even though it runs fine, the lure of ooooooh shiny is too great to resist this time around.

I should probably rebuild my rig first but SHINY SHINY SHINY

Not this time, actually.

Good stuff starts around half-way down. http://gizmodo.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-the-beast-that-sips-electricity-1636655827
So it uses less power - because it contains less computing power. Warlt!?

I gots a 1000W and nasty, nasty cooling, so I couldn't care less for _less_ graphical power at a still-expensive price point.

Nvidia is essentially convincing you to purchase a Prius instead of a Tesla. No thanks.

Lastly, fyi, 780ti's can clock anywhere from 1150-1350, so that's still higher than this rebrand.
