I remember another similar tech thread not too long ago where I was saying something about waiting for the 384bit memory Maxwell card because clearly at 256bit the 980 isn't the highend. (gtx580 was 384bit, but then 680 was 256bit because it still got high end performance and the original Titan, 384bit, was designed to last you two generations, hence the huge pricetag)
Well, the 384bit Maxwell is now out and its the new Titan X.
Let me try to find that thread… brb
That's from here.

Looking at my local computer shop prices….
3g 780ti = $500
4g 970 = ~$450
4g 980 = $670 to $1200
12g TitanX = $1600
Fark, what a rip off. So what would I get, hmmmm…. I don't like the 970 due to so much bad press, but I have seen one in action playing Battlefield4 and it ran it flawlessly. I'd probably pick up a cheap 980 that comes close to a 970 price. I don't see any great deals. The 780ti is probably worth a look.
