GTX 980 / 970 Discussion

[Boomstick777]

Not sure how legit this can be? Would the 770 really be ahead of the 280X? 780 ahead of 290X?

Thanks for that Greg much appreciated.

Its been a very long day and I have just got stuck into looking at the "is it worth it" or s"hould I wait to see if 980ti comes aboot" I take it Titan 2 or whatever they are going to call it will not surface until next year?

Thanks Uber

I have kind of skipped many pages but I see Gibbos former employer has the 970 @ £315 and the 980 @ £486 on the super special page.

Sorry if that is old news.

Sooooo...

Is the 970/980 pitched against the 770/780 as a replacement or are they just using the same number run?

970 replaces/slightly beats 780 and 980 replaces/slightly beats 780Ti by the looks of things

 

[psychas]

so we expecting 970 to be around 250 ~ 280 £ mark ?

This is now my facial expression having only just bought a 780ti and not keeping up with the news doh!

** I suspect that's the ocuk staff in the background having a good rummage through some 980 boxes **

Many sources seem convinced it will be $299 for reference and $329+ for custom so yes around that.

Welcome as always hunny

Titan II I would be surprised to see but nVidia have surprised me before, so don't rule it out. I am hoping these are it till 20nm/16nm but looking at the efficiency and actual power for the amount of cores, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Ti before the end of 28nm....

Must be wrong if Nvidia think they can charge more than the 780Ti. 28nm is cheap now it has been out ages and OCUK have been trying to flog them for £440 for a fair while now.


So how do you manage to raise prices? They need a price cut asap because i will refuse to pay that money. And i have no graphics card that is how much im determined not to be ripped off.

would be great if nvidia kept the titan release for every March

If that's on special and a rough idea of the prices the 980 is overpriced imho.

Probably a good thing, means I won't spend anything

+1

Mature 28nm, cheaper to build.. More expensive

Keep up Uber, that was posted almost 5 minutes ago

Apologies if I've missed it, but have any pictures of gigabyte's custom cooled 970 or 980 surfaced?

If the custom cooled 970 turns out to be ~£280 I'll be a very happy bunny, and my 460 768MB could finally be put to rest

Can we have some single slot cards please, I'm not worried about the cooler taking up two slots, I take them off and put them under water but the bracket having two slots is a waste for those who dunk them under water.
