NVIDIA Announces Game24, Massive 24-hour Celebration of PC Gaming

[Kaapstad]

NVIDIA announced Game24, a worldwide, multinational event spanning 24 hours, celebrating PC gaming. Scheduled for 18th September, 2014, The event will be held across seven locations around the world, and live-streams of each will be broadcast the world over. NVIDIA didn't put out specifics about the event, but we're guessing it will be full of game developer interactions (with the gamers), multiplayer gaming events on NVIDIA-powered gaming PCs, and the odd next-generation high-end GPU launch (GeForce GTX 980, GTX 970). You can pick up any of the event's streams, and RSVP for events near you, on this page.

So wild stab at pricing anyone?

 

[jimbaw]

Interesting! And I think it's going to be around £540 for the 980

 

[Silent_Scone]

Not Long now then...

 

[Noxia]

The smell of the years biggest anti climax is getting stronger.

Price will be lower then most expect, But higher then what we want to pay

 

[Fruitbooter]

I really do hope we get official solid information at this event.

 

[Gregster]

It is nVidia and will be rip off prices with nothing that AMD won't do better for cheaper

 

[Yaayuh!]

Going to put on my optimists hat for a change.

970 - £280
980 - £280k

Thankfully I'm not interested in the 980 The 970 or 960 could tempt me, depending on price.

 

[JediFragger]

Take your best guess and add 20%

he's just pointing out what the red hoards will be saying as soon as they get out of bed

Hmmm, not strictly untrue though is it. That said, I am absolutely convinced my 780 was better than my 290, although it was nearly £200 more. so yeah, as I said, not untrue.

my 680 was faster and cheaper on release than 7970 so the above is not always true

 

[Silent_Scone]

10% faster than 780Ti / Black Edition at 1080p to 1440p.

+5% scenario dependent / -5% slower at 1600p and above.


Calling it now.

That's true actually.

AMD I think took advantage of the 3 months they were top dog before Nvidia launched the 680.

 

[Gregster]

my 680 was faster and cheaper on release than 7970 so the above is not always true

My 680 was as well.

 

[LambChop]

Nice, looking forward to this

He's just telling the truth .

What's really telling is no one uses a gtx680 or at least in these forums i barely see them mentioned or in sigs but plenty still have there 7950/7970's. Is this because the Nvidia card aged pretty badly compared to the higher specced Hd 7 series. Amd are often more for less these days.

I have a feeling that the new Nvidia cards will be a little better than expected but nothing that Titan/gtx780/ti/290/x users will feel like rushing out to buy.
