980 is better than a 780ti
the clock speeds are amazing. and the lesser cudas dont matter since maxwell cudas are 40% more efficient. so you are really getting far more use out of them.
also with the far far less power being used, these will stock overclock themselves very well.

but i would own dual evga 970 ftw's over a single 980
thats what im planning anyway

After seeing that Black Friday and Cyber Monday aren't that great of days for part buying, I guess I'll be buying all the stuff as soon as EVGA restocks Newegg with their fantastic GTX 970.

Ugh, I really want to sell my 780 now just to get a 980. Since i was a bit low on money I went with Asus since i didnt really think the difference in Asus and EVGA was worth spending $100 more. Now I kinda regret it :/

Try to sell it on Amazon.

Any problems abound?

[Bisjac]

nah you dont need to upgrade from a 780. that should be good for awhile.

[Ninja Decoy]

I decided that after looking at the price. Even if i do sell it, I still have to pay another 100 for the 980. I guess the hype of it and the fact that they are better make me believe that i need it, but in reality i already have more than i need.

Anyone wanting to buy the EVGA version of 970? If so, you might want to hold off for a while: http://www.eteknix.com/evga-gtx-970-feature-manufacturing-defect/

I don't get all the hype for EVGA, most of their designs are just stock coolers. ASUS and MSI have a bunch of better heatsink designs. Though that tiny EVGA 750 was adorable.

evga always puts out like 2 custom versions for most models. for 20 bucks more you can always get +20% the power over whatever asus or pny put out
also the step up program they have is what saves me hundreds of dollars a year to constantly have top notch stuff

plus real men dont air cool anyway, they may as well send us the bare gpu boards

Ugh, is it still possible to buy a digital copy of Windows 7 anywhere? I foolishly assumed it would still be in stock at a store around here and I'd really like to get my hands on it today

you should get 8 instead

[Pecon]

This. There really isn't any excuse not to get 8 now.

[Regulith]

I was under the impression 8 was geared towards touch screens with all that live tile nonsense
