GTX 880

[Skyforger]

When it comes out, will it be sold here ASAP ? and plenty in stock ?
Do i need to set aside the moneyz and check store every day ?

 

[danny86]

will be interesting to see how they are priced with the 295x price being so relatively low.

 

[Skyforger]

295x is that amd ?
so ar seen 400$ so hoping for no more than 250£

 

[Akagi]

Lol it will be far more than £250. Probably more like £460 - £500

It will also apparently be called the GTX980 because NVIDIA are skipping GTX8XX for desktop graphics.

 

[NoNameNoNumber]

It looks like they're skipping the 800 series and going straight to the 900... Estimated mid sept last I heard.

The price of the 295x2 will have no bearing on what NVidia will charge.

why so expensive when estimates say 400$ ?
And im buying for ARMA 3, it runs better on nvidia cards

 

[NoNameNoNumber]

Look at the price of current 780's even now they're EOL they're way more than $400
My guess would be launch price of reference 980's to be around £450/$700

 

[arc@css]

^^ Could quite possibly be even more than that.

 

[NoNameNoNumber]

I know

 

[Skyforger]

That's crap news

Also the current price of the 295x2 is temporary (unless they keep it to compete more heavily with the new Nvidia cards).

NVidia (IMO) take an Apple type approach to pricing. Which isn't ideal to say the least. Greed

But I'll pay the premium

ofcourse it will, Nvidia are their direct competition. What a silly comment.

We've no idea how much the 295X might cost if/when it gets released - if it's even called that. The 295X2 is a dual-card solution (2 290X's) so isn't aiming at the same target audience so pricing isn't all that closely related.

So that's why the Titan Z is £2100-2500 vs the 295x2@ £700 and the 780ti £500 vs 290x £350

NVidia can and will charge a premium and people will buy truck loads.

I don't think people bought truck loads of the Titan Z. Surprised NVidia even bothered to release it at that stupid price point.

As a brand in general.

880GTX (980GTX) being £250 on release
Think you need to go back to sleep and dream for a little longer...

I think we'll see the 970 at £300-370 and 980 at £420-500 with a titan 2 to follow first half of next year at £850.

That's what I'm expecting, I've decided to keep my 290x over the winter (it makes my PC double as a hot air blower) and then I'll be ready for the Titan II next year (I doubt that'll be the name though, I think Titan Z killed the brand personally).
