Why havent the prices of 980ti dropped more than they have? They are only about $20 cheaper than a GTX 1080.... Why would anyone buy a 980ti over a 1080 for only $20 less?

Down to $370 AR. $400 no rebate.
Not bad unless you can find a 1070 for close to unicorn $379 MSRP.

A 980 Ti for $370 is a better deal than a GTX 1070 at $380, and certainly a better deal than a GTX 1070 at $420, which is the lowest-priced custom card yet announced.
Same thing happened with the 780 Ti... went way under the price of the 980, but in that case, the 980 was faster. The 1070 at $450 is priced just a bit too high to compete with the closeout deals we'll be seeing if this MSI Golden Edition is any indication.
It would have been, but Nvidia is sponsoring games that can't be maxed without 8gb Vram. I wonder why they would do that? Anyway, 1070 makes sense because with the new artificial Vram requirements, the 980ti will quickly become a 1080p/medium settings card.
The 1080 doesn't really make a ton of sense as a product either. For the 99% that are still on 1080p 60hz, there is basically no reason to buy a 1080.

Was a good deal while it lasted. I'm seeing $450.- before rebate, $420.- AR.
I'll just keep on waiting for a $380.- 1070
If you buy the 980 Ti Classified for $409:
A. A card with more performance for $29 more.
B. A card you can put in the Step Up line and have that higher performance while you wait for a 1070 at MSRP, not gouger prices
Only at 4K (with insane texture sizes), which most gamers don't play at.
