Wow that's a nice chunk of money you got for a GTX 980! I'm sure you'll love the 1080- your getting at least a 50% boost in performance, and in some games nearly 100%. The prices in Australia are ridiculously high; I was able to buy the Aorus 1080 Ti Xtreme here in the USA for $750 USD - but there's a trade off... we have to put up with Trump every day.

Actually the ML folks are buying up a lot of them. An array of 12x 1080Ti's on the "mining" board Asus were selling a while back would smoke any custom setup, with 24 core CPU

Also relevant: most card failures are memory not GPU.
I am in the process of repairing some so watch this space!!
