Very nice card. No 3.5gb and SLI to deal with. Games are smoother because of one card. I can see and feel the difference.

I remember when I bought one 970 and thought wow that's smooth, I should buy another! When I did I noticed that games were not as smooth any more even though I had twice the frame rate.

This does not however that I won't be buying another in a few months time ;)

Well, what about this guy http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/STRIXGTX980TIDC3OC6GD5GAMING/

It's even higher clocked. Will you test this Hilbert? Would be nice :-)

Yes, board partners are submitting 980Ti cards like crazy at the moment, This particular ASUS model is already in house, as well as the Zotac AMP Extreme and Palit Super Jetstream editions.

Just got this card. Swapped out 2 x 970's. It's the same performance in one card for me and of course you have the added bonus of games that don't support SLI are having twice the GPU power.

So you did it? I'm in the same boat although everywhere I read it felt like 970s were faster than 980Ti at 1440p.
It's a costly "upgrade" though since I also want to replace the Swift with the Acer XB270HU :o

Fantastic :) Wonder how the Palit will fare this time. You liked the 780Ti one (which is why I bought one myself although I didnt like it that much).

Nice one, looking forward to the review of the Zotac AMP! That should be one sweet card.

From what I've seen you're right, 970 SLI will perform slightly better than a single 980ti, there isn't that much in it though. Going from a single 970, a 980ti would be a great upgrade. From 970 SLI it's a bit of a sidestep, but then you get the advantage of getting that performance in 100% of scenarios, also less heat/noise.

I did something similar going from 7950 CFX to a single 970. 970 performs slightly worse, but it was a worthy sidestep :)
