Christ, I can't believe the difference is so huge between a 760 and a 970.
I had 4 different 970s and 2 different SLI setups. I can tell you 980 Ti is amazing card. It's not because I paid 755€ for it but because of the performance.
And my upgrade from 970 SLI -> 980 Ti costed as much as 5,98€.

Is it really that much powerful? Relating to 970 SLI of course. Either way, amazing line of cards, too bad about the whole GTX 970 VRAM fiasco and false specs, because the amount of processing power this card offers...it's amazing, honestly. Coming from a 760, that is.
Honestly pleased with my purchase.

Well considerIng that 1500 core clocked 980ti manages outperform my old heavily overclocked 780 sli at times even in benchmarks, so yes its very powerful.

I was thinking of selling my Evga 780ti Sc card and get a 980ti...worth it?

980 Ti is way much smarter choice instead of 970 SLI. And here is why:
- Less power consumption = less heat
- Total price is about the same
- Less lag
- Less issues caused by SLI (poor profiles, if any etc..)
- A lot more VRAM 6GB vs 3.5GB
- More room for upgrading (by adding another 980 Ti card)
Here are ones of the best comparsions how 980 Ti performs in some game at 3 probably the most used resolutions:
While watching those videos remember 980 has 4GB of VRAM while 970 has 3.5GB.

I went from 680gtx to the titan x. Difference was jaw dropping.
Yeah, I can definitely see how shocking it must have been to shell out $1000 only to see a consumer card a few months later for $599/$699 equaling or performing better than that Titan X.
Oh come on, I think some of you are just being clouded right now. 970 SLi beaten by a 980ti? 780 Ti SLi? I'd have to see this for myself....
970 SLI... probably not, but seeing that breezer had his factory-OC 980ti beating his old OC'd 780 SLI a couple of pages back, yes it's possible
Except a 780ti is more powerful than a 970. Egh, I'm just finding it incredibly hard to believe and I would need to see a great deal of evidence (from all the major hardware sites) first.. and even then I'd still remain sceptical
Nah, it's pretty much a Titan Black - Both TB and 780ti use a full GK110 difference is the TB has 6GB VRAM and the 780ti has 3GB.. but other than that, they're identical.

j/k.
Hey, at least I am able to play Batman: Arkham Knight without any slow downs because of humongous and 99% of the time useless 12GB on the Titan X

All Hail OptimizatioN!
no you can't, because it stutters like shit while driving on 980Ti G1 at 1080p which is OCed way beyond your titan x.
I will install it today and try it on my Titan X.
If it doesn't stutter on my PC aswell, we will know then what's the bigger bottleneck factor here, OC or VRAM.
welcome to a month ago. it stutters even on 4 titan x's as reported 100 times already. vram usage doesn't get remotely close to 6GB, like i said, 1080p.
Currently playing Deus EX: HR (not demanding game)
VSR: 2560x1600 -> 1920x1200
Downclocked the 290X Tri-X to 1000/1250, undervolted - 25mv
Of course everything at Max, including AA and it runs smooth 60FPS while staying as silent as it were on Desktop.

edit: Seems like the real Problem is that it wasnt really downclocked. Trixx accepts the clocks but GPU-Z reports normal clocks. So yeah, it was running on normal clocks. Silent as it were. Dat Tri-X cooler.

Then why did you underclock in the first place, if it isn't necessary?
To limit power usage? But you are right it isnt really necessary.
I just use different presets for my GPU. The Witcher 3 f.e. I use 1156/1500 core/mem. But that generates a bit of noise for obvious reasons.
