[EDIT]hmmm.....whats going on at AMD? (and history of 3Dfx Rampage)

Wow, $409 seems cheap for the 980 Ti Classified (faster than FTW) - it's a good clearance sale before the GP104 cards become more available.  I'm curious about how high you can get it to OC!  

There a bit less of a distance between the 1080/1070 cards and the 980 Ti, than there was between GTX 680/670 and GTX 580 (last node shrink).  So, the GP104 cards aren't as impressive as the GK104 cards were when NV stopped doing hot-clocked shaders, and this is with a full node shrink all the way from 28nm to 16nm.  I guess some of the blame goes to the GP104 chips being so small (considerably smaller than GK104 and GM204 chips), in addition to the 256-bit bus bandwidth being more stifling than ever.

Meh, NV, I'd wait for the bigger chip as well.  $699 for such a small chip..  I don't even play much games to make it worthwhile.

Honestly, if I had the Classified before the 1080 launched, I probably never would have sold my 980 Ti.

I promised my son I'd get him the new Ti or Titan, not the new 680.
