Instead we get sold midrange cards at high end price

The real deal high end stuff will arrive eventually... Probably 2016..

Maybe this is his problem, he doesn't want to see other people getting VFM.

 

[Darujhistan]

I don't think anyone has said that.

In my opinion, high-end cards should be for pushing 1440p, 4K and 120Hz screens. You shouldn't need a high-end card for 1080p. But these days both sides expect you to run multiple cards if you want to be "high end". A single 290/980 isn't even the pinnacle it was in years gone by. Add the cost of all that up; it's mind-boggling how much some people have spent.

Now, sadly, the fact is that none of the mid-range cards will do 1080p at 60FPS in every game. You need to step up to a 970 or 290 just for consistently playable frame rates at 1080p in some games.

And the 960 will not be improving that situation. It will still be under-powered even for 1080p, just as the 280 is (I have a 280X @ 1080p, it struggles with things like Metro).

Agreed.

With reference to the 960 (basic) this is why people are hoping the ti's will improve that situation.

The green one looks nice. However, MSI's graphics card line up this generation is very disappointing.

Yet MSI is the no.1 selling partner this generation........

Two best for me from this gen were MSI 290X 8GB Gaming and MSI GTX 980 Gaming, clocks / temps / performance. Really good cards.

Then moan at Nvidia and AMD.
If it's badged as top card, and performs as such it will get a high price. The mid range will be a cut down version or in AMDs case a rebrand.

Duj is quoting AMDs midrange having 3rd but forgetting the 960 is a Nvidia card.

Deflects by claiming I want superiority and don't want the little guys having good bang for buck. Shame, he's forgetting I don't care. Lol.

Sitting at a port in barcelona waiting for this boat to be uploaded. What else is a man to do.

Edit @ fox, yes they will. Not at the highest settings and why should they? It's a midrange card, new games and highest settings is a little ott.

And? So you're saying Nvidia are worse value? in this instance I would have to agree.

Me deflecting? No need mate, you were hoisted on your own petard with your comments about the top end helping the mid end progress...you didn't even understand you were promoting exactly what I was arguing for...

You don't care? of course you don't - that's why you're all butt hurt in a thread about a mid range card, and not for the first time...

Throw yourself in?

 

[Tonester0011]

Butt hurt lol.
You're so boring, and you think I'm a 12 y\o.

You're moaning that a mid range isn't good enough, high end drives mid range progression. You should moan about the 680/780/980 not being good enough.

 

[Squink]

But just like a horrible accident you can't take your eyes off it...

This is a splendid analogy

 

[JustCallMeVlad]

So what?

What difference does it make if it's rebranded? it's still less than the expected price of a 960 and had 3GB of VRAM...

Bit of a Luddite are you? left to you we'd still be paying £200 for 1GB because that used to be standard...

Why are you so upset by people demanding more for their money from Nv or AMD?

Its a sad day when people will defend a rebranded card from 2011. The 960 with 2GB is fine. It'll be a 1080P max card that tons of people will buy instead of the 280. Giving it 4GB would have hurt the sales of the 960 Ti when it arrives.

You clearly are butt hurt though, thread after thread...

Why would moan about cards that are of no interest to me? I'll leave that to you...

What's sad about it? a good card is a good card...

 

[Tonester0011]

Hmm...this card has 2gb. You've stated for years how 2gb is useless, this card is no interest to you. What's you reason?

I am interested, this might be ideal for my spare computer.

 

[Kaapstad]

Gentlemen

I think the 960 is going to be a great card

Something NVidia seem to do well is balance card performance with the amount of VRAM available. If my GTX 690s can still do well with 2gb @1080p or higher then the 960 should be fine.

If there Is anyone who wants to take my GTX 690s on at 1080p please post your benchmarks.

 

[Tonester0011]

My 6gb gtx480 will beat it, vram is the only thing that's important lol

It's hopefully the pre-cursor to proper cards, so therefore interested.

You buy cards weekly and you need to buy a 960? Ok,

Why do you buy cards weekly anyway?

Doesn't make much sense when you're in Barcelona waiting on 'uploading' - LDLD I take it?

It's fine for people who are happy with fine and have no sense.

I change, not buy.
Unloading, autocorrect on phones are a bugger.
Why would you 'upload' a boat?

You've got a real problem, buddy.

Dunno mate you typed it...

How am I to know you can't use a phone?

So when you 'change' no money changes hands?

I've got a real problem? lol! - Learn to use a a phone.

 

[Tonester0011]

Hmm, so simple.
Change the card in my machine. I have a few graphics cards. Sold my Ti classy the other day, and hoping to put either a couple of 970s or 980s in my new case. Gotta make sure they will fit how I want (got a res bracket, so not very much room)

I'm sorry I didn't check my post, sorry that my phones autocorrect is ****. Makes me wonder, have you ever used q ferry

Ahem...

Last warning.
