[Gregster]

Please be sure to express yourself simply and clearly: much of Scotland will be tired, despondent or excited, and - most importantly - completely newted.

you and me both...but i am stuck at around 330.00 so fingers crossed I can get the gtx 970 if it's as good as what we are seeing.

Yeah but I also need a CPU and Mobo in that budget so it will be i5 bundle and the 970 I think

Hi there

I'm so looking forward to my breakfast tomorrow, will be the best in a long time. I'm gonna have a huge selection and try everything. Once I've eaten my breakfast I shall post a review of how great it taste before most of you start work so you can read it and decide what breakfast to have yourselves.

When you say breakfast do you mean '2am morning feast full of exciting new tasty products'?

Not for me I'll be sleeping then, my breakfast will be at typical breakfast time which most definetely is not 2am!

Hi all,

I'm currently running the following:

Intel i5-3570k
Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Z77 (socket 1155) DDR3 motherboard
8gb of 1600 Mhz DDR3
a Corsair 660W "Gold rated" modular PSU

The motherboard has the following:
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16)
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x8 (PCIEX8)
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4)

Will the above hardware be able to manage two 970s running in SLI?

I'm currently running a single Asus 670 GTX which has been great but I have a 4K monitor and want to game on it!

Thanks

Two at 8x 8x SLI is what will happen and it will be fine. clock the 3570k and get the memory speed up and it will blaze through anything.

Yeh seemingly oban is on a island too!!! The £10 shipping quite often means ocuk are more expensive than others unfortunately.

As a student, I look forward to reading the reviews at midday

Question is will Scottish customers have to pay international mailing costs tomorrow or not? =p

My 670s dont struggle with too much at 1080 so might wait this out to see what 20nm brings, will be keeping close eye on pricing though as if cheap i might be tempted with a couple of 970s

I don't know, the 8800 GTX to 9800GTX was pretty poor wasn't it?

That's because the 9800GTX was a re-branded 8800GTS.

Ironically that card then got die shrunk to become the 9800GTX+, then re-released as the GTS250 and finally the GTS250 green. It holds the record as most re-badged card having been "released" a total of five times.
