Just build myself a rig for the first time in a decade, with a pair of 980s SLI'd... it kicks like a mule... although unfortunately my AV receiver seems to support "HDMI 2.0 standard", rather than HDMI 2.0, which is a kick in the nuts.

Now I just need to wait for the consumer version of the rift.

Where did you find a GTX 980 in stock?

If you are lucky enough to live near a MicroCenter -- they seem to have gotten good stocks and still have a few kicking about.

Yeah, that's what I plan on doing this weekend. Wasn't planning to upgrade my GTX680 for a while as it was plenty for GPU acceleration in Adobe apps and for gaming at 2560x1440 but the Rift pushes it to its limit in several applications. Thought about just getting another 680 to put in SLI but my stupid past self didn't buy an SLI motherboard and it's not worth the hassle to buy another mobo, another 680, and rebuild the thing now that the 980's are out.

Got mine from B&H Photo, went for the ASUS.

What display/tv are you using?

LG 65UB9500 with WebOS, it's a pretty great TV, I really like the WebOS interface.
