Uh what does Skylake has to do with 980Ti having 2 SMMs being crippled or not? Usually if an item has tax, Amazon will pre-charge a tax into the total before checkout. In the 980Ti's case (or any GPU actually), there is no pre-charge tax. Anyways, 6% will still be applied once entered into the country.
i just suggest that wait for skylake. no point go for 980Ti.

Thinking of buying this ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 (ZT-90310-10M), at RM699, I think its a much better deal than 750Ti OC, but it only has 1 fan. I wonder if the single fan is sufficient for cooling the GTX960?
i think u better get R9 380 4GB around GTX 960 price.

since 980 dropped around USD 499 is really worth. at least 980 is a full GM204 not cripple. if u got money just for 980Ti as for AMD really nothing special to wait. i just wait they release & see the price for all the gpu card.
even recently nvidia driver got a lot issue but i still leaning towards nvidia. i got trauma with amd cards. no fate & no chemistry.

Uh no. A single 980 is not good enough for 1440p/60fps. A single 980 will only give extra legroom in 1080p games, that's all. I've said it many times, on 1080p an OC'd 970 (1520/8000) is pretty much as quick as a 980, VRAM limitation or not.
A heavily OC'd 980 (say 1500/8000) is still not good enough for 1440p/60fps, so where is it left at then? A 1080p card for users with 120/144hz monitors? Even then, a 980 cannot pull 120fps on most recent games. A 980 setup is only somewhat viable if one is going 4k and the user gets 2x980s for SLI. But again, there are a whole other set of issues on that. It would be Pascal vs Maxwell. Pascal is not due until at the very least Q2 2016. That's nearly a whole year of wait, if you can wait that long then wait. If not, get a 970 if you're on 1080p, get a 980Ti if you're on 1440p. It's that simple.
problem now is out of budget. able to get a monitor 1440p but then no money get 980Ti. if i get 980Ti for 1080p really not worth.
i think bersyukurlah with 970. RM currency diarrhea (lao sai) everywhere.

hey, im on 1440p and with a GTX780
seems good so far, you just need to lower the graphical settings (granted i need to throw in 100MHz core and 200MHz mem overclock)
even so, some games with older engines runs exceptionally well at 1440p high settings
im looking at you SOM
what i know 290 running quite well on my friend U2713H while running 2560x1440 at high setting.. games i ran mostly use around 3GB vram. hardly hit 3.5GB vram cos i didn't push too hard.

when buy last time no budget for i7 or xeon coz at that time everyone say i5 enuf for gaming n so on. T.T for other games is ok with i5. i might upgrade to xeon also if budget allows. but gtx 980 ti is my priority and also SSD.
hopefully nvidia prices will go down a little once amd announce their new lineups
i also u i5 so far so good. if u really wanna get 980Ti then u should get a good 1440p panel.
