Won't drop unless GTX11x0 series come. Like what we have in GTX980Ti stock clearance.

Release Titan Pascal, AMD counters with whatever big chip Vega they can muster, and Nvidia return fire with 1080Ti. Every base covered. Done and done.

PSA for those planning to buy Zotac 980Ti AMP! Edition that's on sale now.

But this issue is on the AMP! Extreme model, not the AMP! Omega model that is on sale. Unless they share the same problem across all AMP! lineup.

Yeah...now we play the waiting game. At 1st wanna buy super jetstream but saw the post..just buy..hope smooth transaction...

I speculate VEGA is NOT going to achieve what 1080 is capable of, at least on DX11, and Nvidia can take their sweet time to release 1080 Ti in Q1'17 milking the current 1080 owners, and in Q4'17 release "2080" to milk the 1080 Ti owners.

Milking the people who wanted the best and fastest! As for VEGA, just drop the price of 1080 to counter it.

Well, pain-pain to the wallets of those who get milked. Am just happily using my 980TI for the time being since it works perfectly fine on my current 1080p monitor. The urge to get milked will arise when I ascend to a bigger 1440p monitor. Now waiting on the arrival of the X34P.

Heheh, the definition of "milking" here is used very loosely.

He can still sell off his 1080 for Titan Pascal or 1080Ti and top up a little bit more from the sale he made from the 1080. A new user gets an affordable 1080, and he gets a Titan Pascal or 1080Ti, both win-win?

Different person has different interpretation of how he should progress in his GPU purchases. For example, Person A stuck to their GPUs over 4-5 generations before upgrading, perhaps he games on simple, non-demanding games like CS:GO. Person B play modern games on Ultra setting and am not willing to compromise on that, hence necessitating the faster upgrade turnaround. To Person A, Person B is being "milked" for what he is, but Person A has low tolerances to shitty graphics compared to Person B. Person B cant stand 800x600 on low, so he chose faster upgrade, and to him, it's normal. Sure, Person B loses some money due to the topup he needs to do to get to the next highest end, but it's a need he feels that he can afford to do so. Person A could never afforded such GPU progression upgrades, hence the "milking it" impression to Person A?

Different strokes for different folks. Some dont take gaming as priority and can tolerate graphics downgrade as long as can still play, or dont play demanding games. Others had higher standard and tolerance level.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With this discount price i now have a dilemma between the gtx980 ti amp omega or 1070 amp. From various benchmarks i can see that both card have similar performance if not only few fps difference in gaming. Should i go for the 980ti for performance/dollar ratio at RM1789 versus the 1070 AMP ~2.2k?. The price difference is huge here. I'm not into VR nor concern about power draw either.

Are you sure you're not be using Pascal's other features as well? Simulteneous Multi-Projection for multi-monitor gaming is the only other reason left here but if you dont care about that either then the option is open. I rather be on the more updated side IF the price is the same between the two, but if there are price differences, only you can decide if it is worth it or not.

One of Pascal's forte is in VR. If it's not something you're into, the current fire-sale of the 980TI is certainly very enticing

Haha then you need doubling your budget or even triple 4 insurance when you buy bigger monitor

Alas, it's a phase that gamers will need to get through less they remain contented with 1080p. 1440p will become the next norm though

Haha sad 2 say i am still person A due 2 other commitments

When 1440p bcum norm, i already in 4k zone.

1440p will never become the norm. The market is just forcing everyone to go 4k instead, with the same old 60hz refresh rates.

Ya wallet hurt so much large monitor need powerful GPU

Hence we should go #UltraWideMasterRace

woooooo

No worries. Everyone has their priorities. I don't mind taking a bus to KL, you probably prefer a car. I won't be saying that your car is milking you. Priorities. Everyone have them. Only different priorities for different people.

It's called the law of relativity
