980 TI GPUs

[rf55serker]

there's a mystery bothering me with these cards. why is it that it remains as an option despite its monstrous power consumption and pricing when you can get 1070ti for a much cheaper price plus a greatly lessened power
please educate me on this
because if it remains in the option list, naturally it would mean; it still has something or some features to offer or whatever it is, that i do not know
please feed my ignorance on this
ive done several readings on GPU comparisons,pros, cons and not a single thread fed my curiosity

I would take a 1070 ti any day of the week over a 980 ti, it's a better card in every way than the 980 ti. I would say a 980 ti is only a decent choice if it's quite a bit cheaper than a normal 1070.

The only reason I could think of that someone might elect for a 980 ti over a 1070 at the same price is to add another to their system for SLI, which I personally wouldn't recommend. Or LN2 overclocking, I believe maxwell was less locked down in terms of voltage than pascel.

Where does your opinion and statement come from please? I own a 980ti and if I had to buy new today would surely go for the 1070ti. Just consider the plus in VRAM as the convincing argument. ;-)

What options list?
It might just be that they have stock to sell, so they sell it.

go for the GTX1070TI, don't be the guy who is buying an almost five year old graphics card (980TI)....
