Question 990X vs 980X

Is there any advantage in upgrading from the 980X to the 990X ?? Haven't seen much written on this topic but if there's an edge I may sell one of my 980Xs to fund a 990 (have one brand new in the box )

Kal,

Negative as in it's not worth selling a 980 to buy a 990, or negative - there are differences that make it worth the upgrade.... please elucidate

I'm a visionary so I'll illuminate so as to be a luminary. 980x now is pretty much teh same as a 990x. Whatever's cheaper will do fine.
