980 Ti

I think you can, but you wont get money back...since the card was probably over $650.

I was able to. Just waiting in a queue right now. I got the Kingpin model for $660 after rebate so I'm losing $10 and paying $15 for the shipping. Not too bummed out about it!
 
I just placed an order for a pair directly from Nvidia. My 680's can finally retire after nearly 40 months of service.

I spent a good two hours last night trying to get it to work. I was able to install the official Win10 driver by disabling driver signing enforcement and editing the ini to include the device codes of the 980 Ti, but it didn't work in the end. I thought it might since the 980 Ti is so close to the Titan X, but there must be some specific files in the latest Win8 driver that are needed for the 980 Ti.

Someone smarter than me may be able to figure it out, but I just gave up and reformatted to Win8. It's silly that this is even a problem when 350.12 and below worked on both Win8 and Win10.

Edit: Just found this, which is exactly what I did, and it didn't work... either they are mistaken or I completely messed something up. Oh well.

Honestly I don't think it's worth it compared to the Titan X, But I still think Titan should have gotten FP64.

Even the Quadro based on Titan X doesn't have high-speed fp64 -- the extra logic simply isn't there.
 
And this is why I am sticking with my eVGA GTX Titan Signature Edition.

Despite the Titan X have twice the RAM I'm not impressed whatsoever with FP performance. 980Ti is being bypassed as well.
 
Damn, sorry to thread crap, but it's kind of a bummer a "downgraded" game needs $1,200 of graphics card to max at 1440p.

In 12 days PC gamers are going to put alot of currency back into circulation.
 
Got my reference gtx 980 SC, runs like a beast. I was not sure if I should get reference or aftermarket, but I only have a mid size case with only 3 fans, not a lot of room in there.

For the rest of us mere mortals and I'll be the noob to ask it: What does this mean in practical terms? This FP64?

Why do you have to ask when you can simply look at reviews and decide for yourself if it's worth upgrading?

Not that guy but... I don't know... maybe he's asking because this is a discussion board? In a 980 Ti thread no less?

It means nothing. If you use the card for compute the OG Titan is much better due to the actual compute parts left on the card.
 
Why is everyone hating on the reference design? It looks good, keeps temps at a reasonable level and is relatively quiet. Plus, for mini ITX builds, the blower style cooler remains the best solution.

Reviews are calling the blower inadequate for overclocking and even reasonably noisy at normal clocks. FLIR images back it up. For cases that need blowers, get blowers. Otherwise, it's no bueno this time.
 
It's hot and (relatively) loud.

Can confirm as the owner of a Titan X. Having to run the blower at a constant 100%/5000 RPM just to keep it around 80C was no fun. With the stock fan curve it would get up to 86-88 at SC clocks (1126 Base/1216 Boost). I have an ACX cooler on it now and I'm much happier. Get a hybrid cooler, if you can.
 
@thesmelliestsock. from what I've read, the board is reference. They just change to their own cooler.
 
Yeah, the ACX 2.0+ is a reference board.
Can't for the life of me figure out why it is not available yet. Why is that particular one delayed like the non-reference stuff? Did they run out of ACX 2.0+ coolers? They're supplying plenty of the SC ACX 2.0+ cards...

I know it's in their store. But it has never been in stock - thus it's unavailable.

It hasn't ever been in stock anywhere yet.

EVGA GTX 980ti SC+ ACX with backplate was in stock. I got it from Newegg. Probably they are instantly gone as soon as they show up.

Welp, I'm not too concerned about that. I feel silly that I'm stepping up from a badass Kingpin model to a reference model but the performance numbers don't lie. Oh well.

Yes, I know - you can get the SC ACXs all day long - we were discussing the regular ACX 2.0+ - NOT the SC. Again, the regular ACX 2.0+ has never come in stock anywhere yet.
 
I preordered the acx with backplate from BHVideo. They don't charge tax so I overnighted the shipping. Estimated of 7 - 14 days until they receive the cards.
 
Given how poor the ACX 2.0+ performed on the 970 I don't have much faith in EVGA with a 250W+ card.

Thats something that I've been wondering about. I thought that the regular acx had issues keeping up? I remember seeing pics where only two heatpipes were actually on the gpu die? Could be mistaken.

Still would like to see a review or preferably some comments from people buying the card on how loud it gets when overclocking.

They updated that cooler and the card was then called 970 SSC.
