So wrong on all accounts. The 980 does get out performed at stock clocks, but lets be honest, no one uses it like that. At max OC typical 1250 Mhz 780 ti vs the 980 max, typical 1450mhz, the 780 ti still wins at higher resolutions. Though it does cost more and has a higher thermal and power usage, it still wins.
 
Are you serious?
The 980 is stronger than the 780 Ti,period.
It is better in pretty much any game:

As you can see,it beats it everywhere,except in Crysis 3 at 1440p,while being much more power efficient,therefore staying cooler and generating less noise.And it has higher potential for OCing.
I don't see how one can pick a 780 Ti or R9 290X now that the 980 has been launched.
 


Who said you that at higher resolution gtx 780 ti will win ?? watch some reviews gtx 980 is much better than gtx 780 ti and definitely better in 4k resolution gtx 980 has the ability to support 3 monitors with a single card and comes with super sampling which enables to play at 1440 resolution if someone have 1080p res monitor.

This video will prove that right .

Don't mean to revive dead thread, but this does come up in google hits.

980 for any regular user. An enthusiast is more liking to try and push cards to the maximum. For us, looking at stock benchmarks are useless, so what's been posted above, equates to nothing, really.

At a $100 difference between a Strix and a MSI/ASUS 780 ti does that warrant the 7% performance increase at stock speeds? Some would argue no.

The matrix is a top tier card, designed with a few thing in mind. Overclocking, LN2, water cooling (not so much), air cooling (definitely not). If you're not going to water cool the card at the very least, then all you're buying is a really fancy and nice looking DCUII. Just like those who decided to buy a kingpin 780 ti, because it was an exclusive card. Hope this has helped you and anyone else who may be considering buying a 780 ti on the cheap or a 980.

I honestly don't think the 980 has replaced the 780 ti and I think a 980 ti will be released to succeed the 780ti. The performance difference makes no sense at a mere 7% and overclocked benchmarks make even less.

Not to beat a dead horse, but any power savings and lower temps go out the bin when you start overclocking. Of course the 780ti will consume even more power and produce more heat as you overclock but can people stop throwing the 780 ti out of the window.

What irritates me is reviews like below which are meant to show off the overclocking ability of the product (GTX 980) does not get compared against other overclocked cards. There is no way to actually see the relative performance of the other cards because the overclocked benchmarks of those older cards are out of date.

Just to use an example:
Metro LL 2560x1440
980 Stock 70 fps
780 ti stock 65.6 fps

980 OC 83.7 fps
780 ti OC ??
