          @simulacrum: I've heard that if you link six together, your computer can now run crysis at max settings.

        • @stephendt: Pfft… that's never going to happen you'd need like 50 titan X to run crysis at max settings…

  • I have the exact same card and haven't looked back. Definitely recommend it even for $900.

    Just be wary that if you go over $1000 the import duty kicks in (basically you have to pay GST so add 10% to the total but i think newegg actually organises it for you)

    I bought this from newegg for $960 delivered and it's amazing and very much worth it. Especially for anyone using 4K.

  • Used the "AUSAVE05" coupon code to purchase a gigabyte 980 ti instead (about $930 before cash rewards). I imagine there is a foreign currency fee from cc company as well, but still it's significantly under the australian stock prices.

    Thanks OP :)

      How's the warranty though ?

    Lucky me, after being a member of Ozbargain for awhile, my level of spending resistance has increased significantly! Now i can restrain myself from good deals like this!!!

    I hate the ACX2.0+ cooling solution. I returned 4 970 cards, all of which would stop displaying output to monitors, within 2-3 minutes of entering any game. The warranty is great, but a pain having wait for card to be RMA'd.

    The only way I could stabilize the setup was to down clock the GPU by 150MHz. The cooling solution does not seem sufficient.

    In the end I ended up selling the card at a loss and buying the Gigabyte G1 model, which not only auto-overclocks to 1550+ MHz on the core, it barely goes above 60c, after many hours of gaming.

    No system cooling issues, as it's built in to a Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra tower.

    The 980Ti card may perform better, but I suggest you read though the EVGA forums, and make up your own minds.

    http://forums.evga.com/EVGA-GeForce-900TITAN-X-Series-f99.as… (will need to create an account)

    With regards to warranty, if you do end up needing it, you will have to ship it to Taiwan, at your expense as the Australian distributors are not tasked , with providing warranty for overseas purchased products.

    • I just RMA'd a faulty 980 FTW (it actually started smoking) but as it was within 30 days of purchase its classed as DOA and EVGA pay 2 way postage

      But I too recommend checking the EVGA forums, as I wish I had done beforehand

    • Your post scared me off this deal.

      I have a 680. It's time is done.

      • Go for a Nvidia GTX 970. It should be able to handle everything at 1920 resolution.

        • Heh. Except I'm running 3x 1920*1080. Which is 75% of 4k.

          My card has survived well. But I don't game with AA, and I'm yet to play some of the blockbusters.

          Need a decent upgrade. CPU/Mobo/Gfx. I've got the rest. Needs to last a while because come next upgrade (which for me is about every 6 years anyway), I won't be able to afford non-family related expenses. I really like the sabertooth mark S mobo, but just based on looks to fit into the theme of my case. Shame it happens to be unwarrentedly expensive and have a 40mm fan on it.

    • I hate the ACX2.0+ cooling solution. I returned 4 970 cards, all of which would stop displaying output to monitors, within 2-3 minutes of entering any game.

      I don't get it… what does the cooling have to do with the cards not displaying to monitors?

      • Loading in to Windows and doing web surfing, watching movies, etc. the card ran 100% fine. They fan always stayed off, with the GPU core temp. of ~45c. I could do that fine for hours without any issues.

        As soon as you started playing games, or running any 3D benchmarking program, the GPU core temp increased (as expected) to ~75c. All good and fine. within 2-3 minutes of this all 4 cards (original + 3 RMA's) stopped displaying output to the monitor.

        You could still hear the game audio fine. The system worked OK, so you could Alt+F4 out of the game/application and shut PC down ok (without any display output).

        The only way for me to get the card to actually run 3D games/apps without this issue, was to modify the BIOS and down clock the max GPU core speed to 1150 (from the 1328+ MHz. Then I could run 3D games for hours without crashing. Something is not right with the design of the cooling system imo.

        If you read the EVGA forums, countless others were also having the same issue going back to late 2014.

        The same system with the Gigabyte Gaming G1 card, and no issues at all first time around. Nothing to do with PSU issues either, as I tested system with 3 80+ platinum PSU's (Seasonic 660W, 860W, and 1000W)

        • I think the cooling solution you're complaining about is the ACX, that was because EVGA got lazy and reused the ACX coolers meant for another card (I think it was meant for the 980) which had temp issues which caused it to have temp issues.

          Many people complained, and then they released the ACX 2.0+ which had the heatsink altered.

          Picture of ACX heatsink

          Picture of ACX 2.0+ heatsink

          The original ACX had design flaws and so temps were pretty bad, i always thought the card would throttle instead of cutting display though…

        • @ProjectZero:

          No, I mean the ACX 2.0+, where the fans stay off/silent when core temp's are below 55c-60c.

          ACX fans operate all the time, regardless of the load. All my cards were the newer ACX 2.0+ cards.

          Edit: Just looked up the model number of the cards I registered on their site:

          04G-P4-3974-KR

        • @xuqi: Found two articles on this on OCN…

          http://www.overclock.net/t/1556296/evga-gtx-970-sc-acx-2-0-k…

          http://www.overclock.net/t/1528991/gtx-970-sc-acx-2-0-displa…

          One seems to point at vRAM overheating and the other is pointing at a dodgy BIOS… not too sure which is correct at this point… also, not sure if this is the normal ACX 2.0 or the ACX 2.0+… Regardless, I suppose if there isn't a definitive answer, don't risk it?

          I personally run GTX 780 SC ACX in SLi and have had them in air cooler configs before… never had any issues but thats a different card

        • @ProjectZero:

          During the ~2 months period of RMA's, I ran the system with my old 4GB EVGA 680+ card (or Asus 280x), without issues.

          Also as mentioned, the first Gigabyte Gaming G1 card I installed after giving up on EVGA has worked fine since.

          At least my card was purchased locally, so I only paid postage to send back to the OZ retailer, albeit 3 times.

          The EVGA warranty seems great, as each time I was sent back a brand new boxed unit. I really hope they've fixed the issue with the newer cards, but I won't be trying EVGA anytime soon.

          More a cautionary tale for those purchasing from overseas.

  • +3

    Great hopefully this will solve my screen tearing issues when navigating my bios

  • Wow.
    I stopped following GPU ages ago, when it was still the era of the 8800 GTX.
    My laptop cost same as this card T_T

    • +10

      I remember the days when I used to pay ridiculous prices for these type of things, but then I grew up, realised it wasn't worth it, and stopped building them.

      • Well, the only computer I built from scratch was a config to play counter strike 1.6 semi-pro with a Core2Duo, 4Gb of Ram and a 8600 GT 512 Mb to start with…And I only upgraded the Core2Duo to 3Ghz (I think) and the GPU to a 8600 GTX… That was it…

    • +1

      This is not for laptop scrubs.

      Laptop scrubs usually go for a smaller, weaker version and pay more for the privilege.

    • +5

      Interesting comparison…

  • -7

    These were around $700 when they first came out. Go aussie dollar!

    • the gtx980 or gtx980ti?

      • -2

        Don't remember now, I was looking at the 970's for around $450 waiting for them to go down, but they went up too. Looks like you can still get 'some' GTX980's around the $700 mark (Asus Strix for e.g.) so I guess this particualr one must be $200 faster. :)

        • 980 not 980ti. The ti just came out June 1st…

        • +1

          @geo365:

          Ah fair enough, that'll teach me to stop paying attention. :)

    • +8

      No, they weren't.

  • +3

    Good for those hardcore gamers, but personally not my idea of spending nearly a grand on a graphics card, must be less than $500.

  • +1

    Can this card run minesweeper at 30fps?

    • +4

      No, Windows will always render it at 60fps unfortunately.

      • +2

        Not if you output it to a 4k tv. 30fps cap.

  • +5

    Thanks OP I bought 5.

  • -8

    Don't know what the point of these expensive gaming cards is, especially only good for playing games… For me a $300 card does the job fine.

    • +7

      Cause
      a) this will play existing games at a much higher quality than your $300 card
      b) this will play future games at a much higher quality than your $300 card
      c) this will continue to play games at high quality for much longer than your $300 card

      • +11

        Ironically its the people who buy expensive cards that are the ones that upgrade the most often (or feel the need to), a vast majority of people running 'mid-range' $100-200 cards will actually keep theirs for longer. I did remember reading this in a PC mag (back when they were actually in paper form) and from my experience of friends with far too much money and time, this is true.

        • +5

          True.
          Except they offset the costs by selling the expensive cards.

        • +1

          @anthonettex: Sure but the more expensive the card is the more it depreciates over the same period of time.

      • +1

        yes but some might be asking is this 3X better quality and 3X faster? the law of diminishing returns has to kick in at some point, although i suspect with early adopters/high spenders a few hundred $ here or there is not a big deal

      • d) this will give you much higher bragging rights around your geeky friends than your $300 card

        • +2

          You have bigger e-penis when your game runs 5fps faster than your geeky mates.

      • +2

        This will also play games at a resolution a $300 card wont be able to.

        For those lucky few with 1440p or especially 4K monitors, or monitors with very high refresh rates, you'll want something you cant get with $300

        Which is why i bought 5.

        • Wait you can five-way SLi now?

        • +3

          @Zachary:

          Dont be silly.

          The fifth one is to install vertically, to stop the other four sagging.

        • @Oxxy:

          Pmsl at this conversation.

    • Yes..I play games on my xbox connected to my big screen TV and home theater. I honestly don't know what this card can offer beyond that.. Maybe because I am not used to high-end gaming PCs

      • +2

        It can offer much better graphics. Each to their own. I have a ps3 but prefer gaming on pc for multi platform titles. Can't afford $900 on a video card tho.

  • -8

    Buy a new computer for $500 and keep the change.

  • +3

    Still happy running a 460, waiting for the VR headsets to hit the ground before I upgrade

    • you me both buddy. When the HTC Vive hits the market is probably when i'll goto a 980ti or something equivalent.

    • I've been waiting for our promised VR headsets since the early '90s. For graphics cards, my $80 stock standard card works better than the one year old $300 factory overclocked card I had before it.

  • My 7900GTX died the other day… feels bad that I paid $700 for it back then :(
    I wasn't even a hardcore gamer lol

    • +1

      You dont have to be a hardcode gamer to buy a high end card. Sure it wont make a better player but at least you'll look fantastic as you die.

  • Team Red (ATI) here, BUT dayummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

    • +8

      If you are team red, you should really know that it's called AMD now.

      • rektd

      • +1

        ATI was cooler. 9800 Pro ftw.

      • I know its AMD. But I refuse to embrace it. Not yet anyways.

    • 980GTX is a'ight, but we Team Titan X here, bitchez.

      It is almost impossible to relate the near-orgasmic thrill of seeing your quant-stuff run 200-800 times faster through CUDA. According to the Tao of 4chan, Rule 34 says there ought to be porn of it, but so far no (the mind boggles as to what CUDA-porn would look like: redtube, but 800x faster? ewwww).

      I suppose the Titan X might be good for games too, but no game has the same kick as processing aerials-plus-cadastre for every house-block in Victoria (~3.455m of them suckers) in less than an hour.

      Some folks in Ballarat need to clean up their yard, yo…

  • +1

    Please don't be this guy

  • Hmmm. Running 3440x1440 and my 290 is mostly fine at high settings, but I suspect when I get to a certain city in Witcher 3 it's going to eat it alive.

    I paid 320 for that card, this is a big jump up in expense, but pretty much twice as fast. Decisions..

  • holy cow..the GC alone already cost more than my whole desktop build 2 year ago….guess I'm really out-dated huh

    • +2

      Different target market mate. People that buy this card spend their days complaining about housing affordability.

  • +2

    Looks like they just made some G1 Gaming 980tis available in the last hour or so.
    Just got one through the same process.

    • fwar, that looks insane

    • They perform even better as well, higher boost clocks and most will see 1500 OC's on the GPU on air.
      Nice find!

      • No international warranty on the GB though, and apparently there is a likelihood you will have coil whine?

        • I think it's a gamble, even with the EVGA, which I opted for as I have read less reports of coil whine with that card. Plus EVGA are pretty good with RMA should I get a dud.

          In saying that, my 970 G1 is hissing at me now, so I'm throwing it in another system that I'll use mainly with headphones once the new card arrives.

    • looks like it just disappeared?

  • So what's the warranty deal with non EVGA cards? I can see there's a RMA process up to 30 days, but after that, are you on your own?

    I've used Amazon before, and had to use the warranty process, and they were pretty good (they didn't have to help me but they did anyway).

  • bought 1! thanks!

  • Nice deal but I'll buy 2 locally from PCCG or PLE Computing.

  • Just an FYI word on internets is that nvidia is going to start bundling MGS5 preorder cdkeys next week with all new geforce cards so you might want to clarify/wait a few days.

  • They've gone up slightly this morning.

    Meh. I think I'll wait till Black Friday sales, 290 can keep me going for a bit longer.

  • I think I'll wait for a non EVGA, non gigabyte G1 card.

    Maybe just a reference card?

    Buys insane gpu.

    Ends up just browsing the internet and ozbargain all day.

  • Hey Ozbargainers,

    Quite a few people have contacted Newegg on live chat and been successful asking if they are eligible for the MGS gift seeing as they purchased just before the promotion.

    Worth asking for if you want a free game.

    • +1

      Just tried and they dont want to give me the free game as they say it's an international order.
