GTX 980 / 970 Discussion

[Dicehunter]

Techpowerup have a reference 980 review up and a 780 Ti and 980 are basically neck and neck with the 780 Ti getting more frames in quite a few games.

So 19-20% on average faster than the titan going by the performance summary.

*polishes crystal ball*

Anyone seen any uk pricing ?
I have a new 295x2 I might send back if I can get dual 980 sli for about the same

There is a dedicated review thread, these have already been added.

Guess I am going to wait for the 980 Ti then, Quite a disappointment.

So 19-20% faster than the titan going by the performance summary.

Which translates to bugger all in the way of frames in most games.

970 > $329

980 > $549

Only issue getting it so soon.... no drivers.

The box says download from gigabyte or geforce but of course, no drivers actually out yet. Whoops.

So moon landing was real, Nvidia users have one ball way bigger than the other, and prices that aren't too bad imo, I do hope however 980's drop a little so the new TI/titian when released isnt yet another huge price tier .
I think 970's should sell well and are a good mid range option for a lot of users

 

[calliusmaximus]

The hexus 970 review shows a massive overclock s its faster than base 980
Can't find any showing in stock anywhere yet

Sounds like a plan with that efficiency

 

[Rroff]

The overclocks do look nice, even the average reviews are seeing fair gains where they are usually far short of how far the cards can actually be pushed.

 

[Dicehunter]

The frame rate differences are miniscule when compared to a 780 Ti, The only thing I like is the Dynamic Super Resolution, I do hope they release a 980 Ti.

I was being *smug* because of http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=26853544&postcount=8 heh.

Yes, but we need a soldier to do so and report back ASAP.

 

[gazzaa]

Looks like the 980 is going to be 429 quid
