At $599 retail for the 1080 http://bgr.com/2016/05/09/nvidia-gtx-1080-gtx-1070-price-release-date/, I'm hoping the 980 will drop in price. The 980 and 1080 would be perfect cards, other than the fact that native driver support is not forthcoming, and Nvidia web driver update is one more problem to address on each upgrade. I'm very happy with my EVGA 760, and even the 1080 will run on a 500W p/s, so at that price I think Apple will support them sooner or later in iMac, or Macbook (lower power consumption teamed with better performance). I wouldn't bet on AMD for the long term, I have seen NVIDIA taking leaps and bounds over AMD technology over the past decade.
