boooooooooooo
from the benchmarks its easily 10-15% better than a 780 and that without MFAA.
edit: and this with 70W less.

Impressed did not expect 330 to be the price for the 970. Will be interesting to see how AMD responds, hopefully its not to painful for them as I'd prefer not to see what would happen in a world with 1 pc gpu manufacturer.

The 970 seems like a good upgrade from my 560 Ti for that price. I was looking at the 280x for about that price.

Tempted to go from 780 to 980 but I may wait. When do ya'll think <28nm will come?

Who's to say when 20/16nm will arrive. Buy it and enjoy.

I'd say stay on your 780. OC it if need be. Maybe Summer at the latest for the next batch?
Unless you have money to burn I would wait until the die shrinks.

Yeah, it has to be October at this point. Might announce the date at EGX 2014 next week.

I've just got the itch...
(That and they're cheap enough that I can probably buy two.)

Sooner than later. That's why I'm not burning cash on the 980 now, but I do really need to upgrade, and my excuse is that I'm moving my current rig to the living room to act as the HTPC for our home, so I need a new GPU in a new rig.

VR SLI is two cards each rendering their own view. Essentially SFR with a vertical split. Very cool.
I just might, coming from a 750 ti I got for cheap, this will be a very nice upgrade
cnet said 32 minutes ago that this is on sale tonight, is it?

Review sits are saying its a hard launch and we've seen boxed cards in retail backrooms... so hopefully these drop in an hour or so!

People called Romanes they go the house?
970 would be a nice upgrade if I can offload my 760.
Gonna have to check out the non-reference coolers.

Also amazon apparently had them up for sale early by accident today
When durante mentioned the possibility of this in the other thread I thought it sounded awesome. And well, there it is.

Well, I don't know much about graphic card launches, but why wouldn't they say when it's out at the presser? All the video said was "2014".
I'm F5ing Newegg lol

I want to see how much that EVGA with the ACX 2.0 is going to run for...
I might get two 970's.
Holy.. $350??
Done and done.

Yeah. If you're gonna buy anything, buy another 780ti for sli. That'd be much smarter than moving to either of these new cards.

I plan to stick with my 780ti, still a great card.

Other things I take away from computerbase review:
- Power draw and noise increase greatly when overclocking.
- Nvidia cheaped out on the reference design 980 cooler.
- Power draw and noise increase greatly when overclocking.
- Nvidia cheaped out on the reference design 980 cooler.
How so? Another 780Ti would cost $700.
I would much rather offload my current 780Ti for ~$500, and buy the superior 980 for $550.
Even if I go SLI, the 980s would cost me a difference of $600, vs spending an additional $700 for the second 780Ti.

In their Wolfensetein benchmark they say they removed the games 60fps limit. How the hell did they do that?!

This'll be the year I upgrade from my GTX 460. VR direct is too much to resist.
The 780ti is going to get real cheap now.

Looking at the pcper video review (favorite review site they have such good benchmarks) the price really makes (970) or breaks (980) these cards
the 980 is incredibly dissapointing price/performance wise compared to the 290x (especially if you keep in mind this is the new gen of cards not an old one like the 780 meant to compete with the 290x from day one)
Of course the performance/watt crushes the 290x but the price/performance is dire...
Meanwhile the 970 at this price looks like a good deal and like a great increase in performance/dollar over last gen stuff and especially over last gen nvidia stuff.
No such thing as a bad card, as long as the price is right: episode 3

Likewise. We've suffered long enough, ha.

It's being discontinued I read. I wonder how that'll effect things.

The 970 is damn near 780ti performance. That's a hell of a deal.

Seemingly there is no reference 970 at all according to computerbase. Gigabyte version has the highest stock OC with 1.178

I'm expecting nVidia to advertise some sort of Oculus bundle in the future, whenever retail hits. I wouldn't upgrade a videocard for VR until the Oculus is on store shelves.
I was thinking more the used market.

I have two headsets on my desk, so naturally, I would.
