Hey there gents. This may be a silly question, but the answer isn't obvious to me. I am aware that the cooler looks different, but the specs are the same. The 2980-KR looks like a Titan cooler, but doesn't have the Titan vapor chamber. So what about the cooling solution of 1980-KR warrents a price that is $50 cheaper?

    Cooler shroud expense is the difference.

    Shame that they cost$575 on newegg. Kinda defeats the purpose

    Sajin is smart, he is armed with 3x Titans 6GB...
    Why I no money... I would build 2x Titan Blacks SC without second thinking about GTX980 or GM200 or GM210.
    And play games on 1100MHz boost x2 6GB... That would be gaming.
    OK and GTX980 4GB SC reference cooler could be good replacement. 
    On them I would change little BIOS depend of models, download BIOS of FTW models, replace numbers, voltage and gaming.
