i do get it - it has nothing to do with these cards or this thread.

I see the vitriol from AMD owners continues in this thread.
Soldato
Actually it does as the power usage by in large is used as the main reason for getting this card over the competitions equivalent and that was the context of the quote i was replying to.
And an exception to the rule when it comes to the price of the 970 which is a matter of opinion as to whether its a premium over another product does not change the point or the fact.
Soldato
the point is nv fanboys constantly spout about heat and power of the AMD cards , yet in the real world , (eg gtx 780ti vs r9 290x) they are the same
Soldato
With your activity in threads atm you are not fooling anyone but yourself.
Soldato
No matter how small is what you said; the difference in power consumption is not small between a 970 and a 290x.
premium is also what you said; my 970 infinity black was a few quid cheaper than a tri-x and that wasnt some one off exception to the rule - generally prices have remained very similar. if anything, the 8gb 290x is the exception here @ £300 and that was a very recent thing.
so no, nothing to do with the cards or the thread.
This forum would be much better off if people could just stop mentioning fanboys constantly.

What are you on about?
Soldato
This is what started the the context.
The point is it does not matter if its big or small, it will be used as a reason regardless, and my comment was a general comment which does not have to strictly contain the 970 and nothing else like many comments in this thread.
And what you paid personally does not change the over all facts as users can pick up a 290x for less.

Dont try and drag it round in circles.
the difference in consumption is massive in fact go look up 980sli consumption in gaming next to a 290x if you want a laugh.
Everything you said once you bleeted about "No matter how small" is nonsense considering the GULF between the 970 and 980's power consumption.
What Trustdesa said about the 290 is true and *shock* the 780's arent much different. But we arent talking about 780's. This thread is not about 780's.
and you can get 970's for less, what's your point?
you seem to forget AMD only dropped their prices very recently, like days ago.
I'm not the one complaining about fanboys rather than getting on with discussion. "pot kettle black" is completely unjustified therefor i dont think you have a scooby what you're talking about.

gtx 980 came out 3 months ago , the R9 290x came out in 2013

That point is what you personally paid is irrelevant to the point because both have cheap and more expensive versions that overlap each others prices.
Soldato
No, that was my point - that the prices are comparable . That's why i said a few quids difference because that what it was across the range, not just the card i bought. Until AMD dropped prices anyway - value is good on the cheaper 290x's right now.
Caporegime
So your point about the "premium" was wrong then. Glad that is settled now shall we move along?
Soldato
Soldato
But my point was not about the price between the 970 and the 290x, you made it about that, you say you get my point but everything you said thus far shows that you dont regardless of whether you think it was on topic or not.
And now i have better thing to do.

People are prepared to pay more for an nvidia card. You only have to look in the 300-series thread, where people are saying the new AMD card needs to beat the 980 and also expect it to cost £150 less, to see that.
That indicates the nvidia 'premium' that people are willing to pay.
