NVIDIA AIBs Silently Cut GTX 980 & 980 Ti Prices

This does make Nvidia look more tempting compared to AMD.

Pretty shrewd move, with the poor availability of the fury x, now is a very good time for price drops on NVIDIA cards. Many of the non reference models were actually cheaper though at launch than they are now. Thankfully I ordered the msi gaming edition at the launch price of £575.99. Within a few weeks and when stock was just becoming available it had shot up to £600.00

If I do grab a 980Ti, it will be the MSI Gaming. Had two of those now (290X and 970) and fantastic cards.
 
Its an amazing card mate, I've never owned a card as quiet. I've had windforce gigabyte 460's, 670's and 780's. Always liked the coolers on theese cards, but the msi is on a whole new level for lack of noise. 100% fan speed is even still much quieter than the windforce cooler at 60%.

That's what I liked about them. The 290X I had was a hot chip and even when I ramped the fan up for some benching, the noise was quite loud but not horrible but for gaming even with a 1:1 profile, it was very very good at keeping temps down with pretty much silence.
 
At full speed, its lower in noise than my CPU cooler fans at idle, which are 2350 rpm pwm corsair sp's, which iirc are running around 800 rpm at idle om desktop.
 
They're just turning the screw on AMD again like they did pre-empting the Fury X launch with 980Ti, AMD just can't catch a break.

Never thought of it that way, but if that's the case they may as well capitalize on the **** poor peoduct availability of the fury x. :D
 
I think the Fury Pro is a very serious threat to NVidia if AMD get the pricing right.

At £400 it could put quite a dent in 980 sales.

Also you have to think, with all the investment AMD have put into HBM are they gonna lose big time if they drop the price too much (as people aren't exactly flocking to the X!!)
