980Ti worth it?

So I'll be getting a Gigabyte G1 980 Ti, now all that remains is the shopping!!!

I'm also in the same boat. I was waiting for the Fury cards before getting a 980TI. I assumed that the Fury X would beat the 980TI while the Fury would probably end up as a 100 bucks cheaper alternative that would deliver something between 980/980TI.

I'm waiting for more benchmarks, but it seems that the 980TI is the way to go. I'm thinking about the OC model from Gigabyte (assuming it isn't as big as the Windforce model that won't fit my case).

Ended up with the EVGA, placed the order about 30 minutes ago. I made sure to get a case with plenty of venting and fans for extra cooling for all components! I'm no longer in doubt; I feel that the 980 Ti is the better purchase for sure, more consistent, better overclock and non-reference solutions and better performance, especially at 1440p, which will be my new go-to resolution.

I don't see the point of 4k yet when even the best GPU's have trouble maintaining a stable 30fps with few effects enabled, seems like a waste still.

I was really disappointed with the Fury X, I wasn't expecting it to perform a lot better but at least either a discernable advantage in either price or performance. I also feel that the 980 Ti is a better choice for the future, that 6GB of memory will likely come in handy withing a couple of years.
