980Ti worth it?

The next gen memory won't help me if there's not enough of it and the card itself performs worse than the alternatives though, right? I'll wait for confirmation from official AMD spokesmen but it seems like the cards they're releasing this quarter will be underwhelming stuff. And I'm not about to wait a whole year for 8GB of HBM on their cards.

I can gauruntee it will be stronger than anything Nvidia has out now based on the specs alone.  There is some talk of HBM requiring less memory to store information, and also there might be an 8GB version.  Just.  Wait.

 

P.S.  Would you rather have 4GB of GDDR5, or 6GB of DDR3?  That is the difference we are talking about here.

I think I've written about ten times in this thead now that I am waiting...

The thing is; we don't know the exact specs and we haven't seen official benchmarks or tests yet. 8GB version with HBM won't come until next year, that's been more or less confirmed by AMD at this point so that's not an option for me since I want to build this summer.

Hoping for more details either this weekend or next week; it's about time we got them since the series launches in about three weeks.
