Colorful Offers GeForce GTX 980 Ti iGame KUDAN
Colorful introduces its iGame GTX 980 Ti KUDAN featuring a hybrid cooling solution to deliver extreme cooling for the best gaming experience.
The iGame GTX 980 Ti KUDAN features a unique custom-cooler from Colorful integrating powerful heatsinks with an integrated watercooling loop to deliver unsurpassed thermal dissipation. Five heatpipes carry heat away from the GPU and disperse it to the densely packed fins and the integrated water-cooling loop kicks in when extra cooling muscle is needed. Full-time GPU thermal monitoring gives smart control over when the integrated liquid cooling system operates.
The integrated watercooling solution allows further expansion where you can add a custom watercooling loop to the Colorful iGame GTX 980 Ti KUDAN's integrated cooling pump/block. Bring your iGame to the next level with a press of a button! Press the Overclocking Key and you get an instant overclock of up to 1304 MHz Boost frequency for increased performance, giving you a more fluid and responsive experience in resource-intensive games.

When 980 was released it was barely faster than 780ti, by time that difference was larger and larger.
People are expecting 1070 to be faster than 980ti, be real.
I'm expecting the 1080 to be faster than the 980ti (not the 1070). Although 1070 probably will be faster than a 980ti by around 15-20%. My guess is that the 1080 will be around 30-40% faster than the 980ti.
The price of the 980ti will probably drop by a hundred bucks and the 1080 will take on the original price of the 980ti's when they were first released. Happens pretty much every year when the new cards take over.
I'm not saying the 980ti is a bad card (its a superb card) but when you can pay the same price as the 980ti was before its end of line sale began and get a 1080, most tech enthusiasts would go for the higher performing 1080.
So at this point in time, releasing a new 980ti is pretty much pointless.

My guess:
GTX 1070 - performance between GTX 980 and GTX 980ti (closer to GTX 980) @ 400 USD
GTX 1080 - performance around 5-10% faster than GTX980ti (stock) @ 550 USD
So, I agree and think it is a little late for a GTX 980ti release.

It all comes down to pricing and actual performance. This 980Ti with its custom PCB and cooling solution will probably outperform the first 1080 cards, although in a more inefficient way. Same goes for that 660Ti vs GTX580 remark. Take a beefy GTX580 like a Matrix Platinum or sorts and the 660Ti takes a beating.
But take a good overlocked 660Ti and then it takes a very good 580 to compete with it.
In the end it all comes down to the performance vs price ratio, regardless of what chip is inside. True; the new technologies around the corner might stir things up a bit, but not for 2016 anymore I think.
If priced right, a 980Ti can still be a valid purchase imho.

No offense but that remark above is just based on speculations and even those don't reveal/imply anything of that sort.
Nothing so far implies that a 6GB GTX 980Ti will be obsolete when GP104 gets released.
P.S: I meant performance wise not as a choice which obviously is not a good one until we see what Pascal offers.
