Thanks <D. How loud are the fans on these beasts? Does it vary much between manufacturers?
Do you recommend the Asus now that you have one?

Apollo, I have the Strix GTX970 OC variant. Some Cards have an issue of black screening while gaming. Setting fans to 70% is the fix. I have RMA'D twice same issue. Fan noise is not that loud. However if a rooms quiet istts noticeable. I'd recommend. Next month pascal is released. Suggest a wait till then?. Also I have the cx600 PSU corsair. Was a pc world job lol. However do you have a cpu fan? How many fans in the case? I have an ssd and 1 hdd with 4 fans. Maybe look at a 700w corsair bronze will do.

I'm looking to upgrade soon. Currently on a 7970 but not sure what to go for.

I'm torn between the FuryX and nVidia 980 (may push to ti)

I'll be on a 1440p monitor possibly superwide and running 2 additional monitors for reference material/video viewing.

I'm thinking of finding a friend for mine to experiment with SLI

That's out of the question for me as my board is Asus z97p and doesn't support sli/xfire

I have the MSI gaming 6, so the only thing stopping me ATM is my wallet and the space in my case

Today is my pay day, the temptation to buy a 980 TI this afternoon is overwhelming, haha.
Will the price of them will come down after the new cards come out do we reckon?

Well it certainly won't go up bud :P.

If you can white knuckle it until release, it couldn't hurt to see.

Yeah, this is what I'm thinking. Going to wait and see, haha. Worse case scenario, no change and I buy the card in a few weeks!
