    MSI ensures that power delivery won't be a problem by adding both six- and eight-pin PCIe connectors for an improbable 375W
    75W (PCIe slot) + 75W (6 pin) + 150W (8 pin) =/= 375W

    Of course, there's no guarantee that the card sticks to PCie specs, but if it does the maximum power it can draw would be 300W.

    Personally the fact "No faster than GTX 980 Ti" assures this will not be considered for the next PC. It's 1080 brother does look fantastic though, albeit over £700 @ Scan.

    Would imagine GBP crash against the dollar in the last couple of weeks has put the kybosh on that. At today's exchange rate, an $850 card comes out at £640, two weeks ago it would have been £590 :/

    980Ti is still looking good. Of cause, if this does eventually drop to the standard 70-series pricing it will be a must have.

    With new architecture around the corner, I'd be exetremely hesitant about buying any 10** card unless it gave an insane bang for buck.
