thx neweggI got the same response. Ah well, it was worth the try I guess. Maybe I'll try buying from Newegg next time though...

How much of a leap is a 980ti over a 970? Would you say it's a $300 leap?

If you play at 1440, its the difference between a smooth 60fps and choppy 45-60fps.
Depends on what kind of setup you have. If you have a 1080p display then 980ti is pointless. If you have a high res display (1440p) and want 60fps or want 4k 30 at all times (and have the cash to spare) then 980ti offers the best value for money considering the tital X level performance and 6 gigs of RAM.
If it is just 1080p display then 970 is the best card in the market. FTW/gaming 4g 970 performs close to 980 stock.

Hmm, so I currently play on dual 16:10 monitors (1920x1200). I'm assuming I probably wouldn't benefit that much from a 980ti then?
I'd like to pick up a 4k display at some point though...
I got an Evga 750 ti. I mainly use it for Dolphin to achieve 1440p @ 60fps. I also just got a 4K TV. How big of an update will this be for me if I purchase the 980ti? I also have 8gb ram if it makes a difference.
Huge. You are moving from an entry level last gen GPU to top of the line latest DX12 ready GPU.
Get your priority right. If you are gonna get 4k soon then you can look into 980ti otherwise no.
That's silly. Nothing's stopping you from theoretically just returning your GPU and rebuying the stupid thing just to get TPP. Especially since people out of the warranty period got it.
I'd suggest hitting them up in a few days. They probably just ran out of reserve codes.

From what I've found, a 980 Ti can be almost as fast as two 970's in SLI when scaling is good.
You have won infinitely.

If you got your card through Newegg and received Batman, you can still get MGSV by using Newegg web chat from their "help" page. Just mention the game being faulty and it being pulled from stores.

Eh, don't. Never hurts to ask, people were getting Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight even though they bought their cards back in like last October or September.

Gigabyte G1 970 or ASUS STRIX?

How big of a deal is noise to you?
The ASUS one is smaller and will be noticeably quieter, but the Gigabyte will have slightly better performance/overclock better.
For me noise is a big deal so I went with ASUS. At the end of the day the performance of all of the cards is quite similar.

im on the phone with amazon right now lets see how this goes when i throw retail slang in their face
I contacted OCUK about the whole thing and they just sent me a redeemable code for MGSV. I explained the whole Batman AK on PC being a shitstorm of disappointment and well...I guess I must have made a good point.
If you bought your 980TI on OCUK I suggest trying to contact support and you might get lucky.

Well, Amazon shot me down, saying since there is no promo, no code. When the MSI MSG:V promo goes live on Amazon I will try again.

Which Amazon branch and what card? Because I see MGS V on the page for the one I checked under "Special Offers and Product Promotions".
Amazon.it told me to pound sand, so I turned to nVidia directly, they're reviewing my case now. I'll let you know what happens.

Talked to Amazon earlier today. Couldn't give me a MGSV code but they did a partial refund of 59.99 on my card to compensate for Arkham.
I would say that's better than getting a free code for MGSV on Steam. Nice.

To be fair, nvidia themselves should accept people asking for this instead of that busted ass AK port.
I tried with my retailer and didn't get anywhere but that was worth a try.
Its sadly cuts off the bottom of the screen if you go into ultra wide.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping too.
GZ also had some Japan-specific DLC (for an extra TPP box, weapon and staff member) that still hasn't shown up stateside. Hope that and the TPP CE DLC is available too.
You get all the pre order stuff even if you buy the game on launch for Steam :3 Which has me worried about preload.
Probably... but then again you can only get the "Steam" box item in the Steam version, so it is possible they stretch to doing that with more content, DLC trinkets or even make little platform specific easter eggs
Really? That's something I hadn't heard before, good news.
Wouldn't surprise me if each platform had little specific easter eggs, but I'd hope it's nothing major.
Really? Bummer it hasn't come states side yet.

This really sucks, I got the GTX 980 TI G1 card on July 21st(I ordered it on Saturday 18th) from an Australian PC store Mwave.
My brother got the same card however from an Australian PC Store Pccasegear at the same time,he asked pccasegear if he could get a code and they gave him one as it was near the promotion.
Mwave though I'm sure are going to be pricks about this,however I asked I just have to wait until tomorrow for a reply, the card even has coil whine in some instances which sucks,hopefully they give me one as in just the past 8 months I spent nearly $6000 AUD with them.

Considering MGS V is around $30 at secondary market, that's two times as good.
Sadly I was unable to get anything, but at least Batman Arkham Knight will be better than nothing once it's playable.

I'm definitely not complaining.
Just a heads up for people dealing with Amazon. Do it over the phone, and try to explain the situation very clearly. The reps aren't going to be familiar with the issues regarding Arkham Knight in the slightest, but bare with them. I was told that they can't just give the nVidia codes, but they were more than willing to give a partial refund in gift credit.
