Where did they get the 'Venus HD 8970' specs from? is there any evidence it actually exists?

Idk but they did get the GTX 680 specs correct? Maybe we will see the 8970 for desktop after all, could be that the HD 9970 was also a correct leak but it's coming next year on 20nm?

To many rumours at this point lol, all this new tech..

I'm pretty much decided on a pair of GTX 760 Ti's for SLI. Hopefully not to expensive and GTX 670ish performance :D

Wil be a nice step up from my 660's and won't break the bank..
 
Those are the "placeholder" specs a few hardware tools are using wouldn't put too much stock based on that alone as to what if anything the 8970 will be.

That's good to know, if anything I would prefer AMD to keep the 8XXX series for console and OEM and move straight onto the HD 9XXX series for desktop 20nm monsters !
 
We know there's going to be a massive price hike for the next couple of months..

2 X GTX 760 Ti's (GTX 670's) at launch will be best bang for buck imho. Then price drops will hit when AMD counter..

Probably pick up a GTX 780 for £350 in 6 months?

No way NV prices will drop ~£450->£350 in 6 months! That's around 20% reduction.

Being blatantly honest, the 780 should be around £450 max in my opinion. At that price, I can see plenty of sales if it is ~25% faster than a 680.

Agreed. However I think they will drag reference stock clocked 780's in at £499.95. :rolleyes:
 
I think this price speculation on the GTX 700 series is optimistic.

I can't see the GTX 780 coming in at the same price as the GTX 680, especially with a GK 110 chip on it and a Titan cooler which Nvidia know will be a huge deal to a lot of people, its also not in line with Nvidia's recent pricing structure.

Nvidia know the masses will pay through the nose just because it has GK 110 written in the specs. The Titan cooler will be just as titillating to them.

Nvidia know what they can sell it for, there is no reason for them to sell it for anything less.

Don't get your hopes up.

Agreed ^^

Hence my stance to get two GTX 760 Ti's instead.

The GTX 680 launched at between £425 - £450. Now can be had £350.

The same thing will happen with the GTX 780's, only it will happen a lil faster, because within the next 6 months AMD will drop competitive cards disrupting the price.

The price of the 780 on May 23rd will be much higher than it will in 6 months..

So the plan is to buy two 7XX midrange cards, enjoy the summer (Won't be gaming as much anyway). Then in the winter months at end of the year pick up some better priced high end cards..

Wise words

780 at launch will not be had for less than £600 - more likely £650 plus (IMHO)

optimistic...god I hope not as most people here seem to think they will be coming in at a lot more than 680 prices.

Sadly though I do fear that you may be right and it will be a sad sight if the general price of cards goes up that much.
