Good Afternoon OzBargainers,

We're clearing the last three units of this powerhouse graphics solution.
Our previous price was $2,999 and until the end of this month it's $2,099 or while stock lasts.

This special price is even cheaper than buying 3x GTX 980 cards which doesn't include the water-cooling system.

          @tuzzi, We didn't have this item instock at Mwave but with our supplier. ("Instock at Supplier" stock levels is updated every 12 hours but "Instock at Mwave" is updated in Real Time)
          I'd checked our supplier's website for their stock levels but they had completely sold out .
          I'm trying to find another source to get this for you.

          No hard feelings but I can only do my best. There's no point in giving you a discount if our primary supplier doesn't have stock.

          Considering there has been an average of 4 years between each major release, if you extrapolate that, it might actually be 2069 by the time we hit GTA XIX. I think we'll have these graphics cards in our average pets by that time.

    You need tri-SLI to get >60fps in most games with max graphics @ 4K resolution.

    I'd want a 4K projector to go a long with one of these guys and you'd have a truly next gen gaming experience.

      • theguyrules on 24/03/2015 - 17:52

        Then you'd need 6 of these cards.

    • vinni9284 on 24/03/2015 - 18:08

      Hi d3ft,

      I still reckon it will still struggle to reach "constant" 4K to run "smoothly" @ 60FPS although I think no games really "truly" support 4K at this stage. Best to wait for the next gen card in about 6 months when the X1080 be released and will have power of 1.5 x GTX980 and cost ~ $800. Then you'll be lucky to flog these cards off second hand for $800 after 6 months.

      Plus it seems that you cannot separate the cards if you want to sell separately.

      4K Projectors will not support 4:4:4 chroma subsampling so gaming in 4K projector will be blotchy and full of artefacts.

      Btw, with 3 x GTX980 IMO will output 2.3 x performance.

      Cheers

        Not sure if you're serious here…

        Titan X is only a marginal improvement over a single, stock 980. These three units in SLI would wipe the floor when comparing against TWO Titan X', which would be $1000 more expensive.
