After almost 2 months of waiting, i have at last received an email from Amazon UK, telling me that the latest upgrade to my PC will be with me by Thursday.
I suppose there is one good thing about the delay, in that if the 1080Ti comes out soon, EVGA's upgrade offer will come in handy.
I'll let you know how it compares to my current 970 and it had better be good.
If anyone has already been down this route it would be good to hear your experiences too.
Are you sure? The list on the EVGA site contains those that you can upgrade to and not the ones that you can update from. The main criteria is that you could only upgrade if you bought your 980 within the past 90 days.
