Not impressed, nearly 300 more on the core to beat the ti by 15 %, less in some games.
I hope the price is more impressive.

It looks to be pretty much on par with a 780Ti. Of course how much headroom is available for overclocking should be considered but if that is correct, disappointing for those with a moder 780/780Ti/290/290X (or not, whichever way you look at it).
Still, with the extra power efficiency and less heat, this could be an ideal upgrade for those on older/slower cards.

Those remaining 780tis are the website are going like hot cakes... 
I did notice that... but some of the results were strange. Eg like on Batman Origins where the 780 beats the Ti by a couple of frames. Regardless, I'm thinking should I be looking at getting a couple of 780s still...

I get a GPU score of 13296 on Firestrike on an oc'd 780 ti running at 1255MHz and ram at 7600MHz.

What happened to all of OCUK's 780ti's? Got stock dumped?
I made the countdown as it was one of the possible NDA lift times. Normally Nvidia NDAs lif ton Thursdays at 9am EST.
As I said in my OCN thread this time it might be a bit different due to the game24 event. And since the reviews weren't posted it apparently is different.

Me reckon they pulled them off and will relist tomorrow with massive discounts...?

The only reason to get a 980 right now instead of a 780ti if the reviews are correct is lower power consumption + 4GB RAM. Be interesting what the 780ti's go for when 980 hits.

There is no doubt that this is an impressive card and the architecture looks awesome. I just wish the 980 had been marketed as the 970 and the 970 the 960. With prices to match as well. Overall with the cards taking the high end slot and performance / price is similar to what we already have. So it's still a disappointment..
Shame because if these had been positioned differently they would have made great mid-range replacements for the current high end and Nvidia would have been seen as looking out for their loyal customers for a change.. This just seems like more milking on top of the milking we've already had lol.
I am going to try and wait it out until these cards get re-spun on 20nm and sold as the midrange price / performance they should be..
