Spawni ..... If you look at Jacob's original comment about the delivery of the "Classified 980Ti" card in this thread, it states he made that comment "3 weeks ago" so we are getting close to seeing that card become available I would think.

Didnt they already say the classyz are coming sometime July?

Thanks for the info Philipanko. I hope the time will come soon.
But i think for the Kingpin we have to wait much longer.
For comparison, the 980 came out in September 2014 and about 5 months later, the Kingpin Edition. Let's see how long it takes for the 980 Ti .

Am I weird?? I just love the reference design. Im not a overclocker and not obsessed with cooling.

The reference cooler is a good quality design but it is reaching the thermal limits of it's design with the 980Ti and Titan X. The fan can get quite noisy during long gaming sessions on hot days.
 
The real nice thing about the ACX 2.0 cooler is that the fans do not run at all when just using it for 2D desktop stuff. So completely silent!

I'm on the fence about the SC reference.  I know I want a hybrid, but my concern is the memory clock on the SC vs the hybrid.
 
My guess is the hybrid gets the better silicon.

I got the SC and a hybrid kit.  I like options of having the reference or use the hybrid or use the hybrid kit with the reference cooler and not the shroud but for sure was going hybrid.
 
I bet the sc and full hyrid are the same gpu quality (random gpu pull)...one just is set to higher default clocks because of the liquid cooling.  The full hybrid is cheaper than an sc + hybrid kit.

well well, what's this?  

Guys,
I have TWO (2) The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt PC Digital Download codes - I am looking to trade one for a Batman Arkham Knight code (PC).
Anyone who bought a GPU recently and got an Arkham Knight code and wants to trade for a Witcher 3 code, please PM me ASAP.
Thanks.

I have twi Batman codes. How do we do this?

Microsoft "hopes" to have win 10 drivers for gtx 980 ti by launch date of 29 July.
