GTX 980ti performance at 1/3rd the power.

Budget builders; I recommend getting this over a used GTX 980ti! Most 980ti's require a huge amount of power draw compared to this card for near identical performance, even weighing in overclocks. I grew tired of the heat and power draw, so when my 980ti decided to fail, I went to this and haven't looked back. It performs identically, maybe even better with a decent memory overclock. According to some monitoring I've done in hwinfo64, the GTX 1070 shows a peak power draw of 140w while running 3DMark's Time Spy Extreme test while the 980 ti drew over 425w, nearly saturating the entire 12 volt rail on my power supply. I'm floored. This card is great for the money, especially if you can get one for $220 or less.
