Nvidia launches the 980 TI, on par with Titan X for $350 less
It feels like just a couple months ago that we were welcoming the new herald of extreme gaming performance with Nvidia’s GeForce GTX Titan X. Oh, wait… it was! And if you looked at the fully enabled GM200 in the Titan X and wondered how long it would take Nvidia to create a slightly trimmed down version at a more wallet friendly price point, wait no longer: The GeForce GTX 980 Ti is here.

The Titan X is the graphics card equivalent of a Ferrari. Every gamer dreams of owning one, but the reality is that only the privileged few can afford such extravagance. And even if you can afford a Titan X—or two—the actual need for such a potent GPU is questionable. For those who happen to run three QHD displays, yes, the 12GB VRAM might actually be necessary, but if you’re only using a single monitor—especially anything less than a 4K display—we’d suggest stepping down a notch.

Prior to today’s launch, stepping down meant the GTX 980 or an even more budget friendly GTX 970 or AMD R9 290X. There’s no question those graphics cards are slower, but at half or even one third the cost, the value proposition is way better. The GTX 980 Ti mixes things up a bit, however, and in the process it becomes the current high-end card of choice.

Im waiting till next year since both companies will have GPUs that use HBM that should be a lot better for 4k gaming.
