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

Yes, it looks like Polaris runs hot which is very bad news.  AMD GPUs have always run hot, for the past several generations anyhow.  I would have thought that the new node would have helped with that, but apparently not.

For who?

I just bought a card with somewhere between 1070 and 1080 performance for $390 shipped that has excellent cooling and 14/3phase power delivery. Sounds like you got similar for $360..

We don't have to buy AMDs spare parts.

Which 980 Ti did you get?

I never got a 980 Ti. Where did you hear that? You read my posts at BTR? I almost bought one for $440CAD the other day which I think is $340USD. I didn't bite though. I have ordered a DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 adapter for my 280x and I am waiting for a good deal on a new GPU. I have thought about the GTX 980 Ti and I'm not going to go that route unless they really clear them out for a blowout price. The GTX 1070 has more VRAM, it runs cooler, it consumes less power, and it overclocks better. For the sake of $40USD difference I'm willing to pay that much extra for all those advantages. Now, if they undercut the GTX 1070 price by $100USD then now we're talking.

I'm not in any rush. I can continue to game at 1080p on my 4k TV, it still looks quite nice. Plus I actually have a ton of older games that I think my 280x can run at 4k resolution. Most of the games my son likes are PS3 ports. I'm sure they will run at 4k resolution.
