Hey lads, i am planning on getting a GTX 980 and in my country which is Australia, it goes up to $800-900 for the GTX 980. But it would be a shame if the GTX 980 TI comes out. Like i don't want to get that feeling, you know.

More about : gtx 980

There SHOULD be one. Since the GTX980 is based on their SECOND to top of the range chip GM204 design.

The GTX970 is A LOT more value for money.
The GTX980 is only 10% faster but cost 60%+ more money.

You can ALMOST get 2 GTX970s for the price of a single GTX980 and would get A LOT faster gaming experience.

Hey mate
Im Also from Australia and am looking at upgrading my GPU, the prices for them in Australia are way too much. You should have a look on Amazon and get it shipped over, that is what i am planning. It is also pretty likely that a 980ti will come out as Nvidia want to make as much money as possible.

You're better off getting a couple of 970s than a 980 ti. If you play the waiting game for AMD to release their cards, Nvidia's cards will probably drop in price to compete though, so there is that at least.

I don't believe this is actually true. The GTX 980 is a fully enabled GM204 GPU. Source: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8526/nvidia-geforce-gtx-9...

That means to get a 980ti they'd need to go to a new chip or higher clock speeds.

My guess is that we'll see the same as we did with the 680, which was also a mid range (GK104) GPU playing at the top-tier. Rather than going for a 680ti, Nvidia followed up with the monster Titan (based on a GK110) whose design eventually trickled down to the GTX 780 (cut down Titan) and 780ti (fully enabled Titan minus the fp64 and 3GB RAM).

I should say this is all purely speculation. Anyone's guess is good!
