The 980ti (starting at EUR 735,-) is a good opportunity compared to the
gtx980 (starting at EUR 500,-)
but it is annoying to know that Video-RAM will soon become a bottleneck
because more and more
applications start to utilize GPU performance to their benefit, either
when caching out like in Nuke for
huge environment images or a GPU renderer like Redshift3D having to
optimize, e.g. limit it´s
cache sizes to fit into a smaller than desireable meomory footprint.
All that on top of what a 4k display would demand for it´s share of
available video memory to start with.
I think Nvidia missed an opportunity there, not just for quadro cards.
They are pulling an Intel in terms of price tags but they didn´t make
sure their base is safe for the future.
I had hoped for a wider than 384bit bus, e.g. something more like a
512bit bandwidth which would
have made power of two steps in video ram more likely, e.g. cards with
4GB, 8GB, 12GB, 16GB, etc.
To me, it seems the gtx9xx bus width comes directly from the gtx7xx
range, which was already starting
to show limits in buswidth back then.
All that said and taking tax laws and such for wrting off hardware into
account, I´d probably have to go
with a Titan, using it 2-3 years and finding myself wanting more video
ram soon anyway...

Apologies, yeag the Ti has 256 less CUDA cores, which is less than a
9% drop, same clock and all though. Texture units are coupled, so you
only need to look at CUDA cores when you compare. ROPs remain the same.
You'd be pretty hard pressed to notice the difference IMO. Even at 75%
the price, instead of the 65% it seems to be here and in the USA going
by current announcements, it's far from being a bad deal.

Sorry for spamming...
Texture Unit Cound and Core Count is different between those cards
actually.
