Yes, very decent price on the 970 and with a good overclock a very good improvement on performance

Did you pay for Saturday delivery? I selected the option and am assuming we'll get them tomorrow.

HDMI 1.4 only supports 4K at 30hz, what is the issue?
All the 4K monitors have display port anyway

Hmm, my old 4gb 680 phantom still runs everything perfectly even at 1440p, so little point in buying one of these.
Luckily I had an issue with my card. Missed the saturday delivery option being blind! Just going to re-order.
Sorry, yes it is, with ease.
This is the situation I'm in
My 7970 Ghz edition and 4Ghz 6 core Xeon (in a old first gen i7 setup) still runs everything I want it to well.
If there's a new UT/(Decent) Battlefield/Crysis/whatever I may be more inclined.
But I have a itch i need to scratch..

Actually pleasantly surprised by Nvidias pricing for once!

Anyone had a confirmation e-mail? I have ordered the EVGA SC version but nothing yet in my e-mail. It does say order confirmed in my account though.
Agreed, and as the pound is bouncing back against the dollar it's even possible retailers could get new stock in cheaper and lower prices further :O

Anyone know the release date for the Gigabyte GTX 980 G1?
sorry should be hdmi 2.0 on those cards and plus with latest drivers hdmi 1.4 supports 60hz I don't understand why NVidia says this on spec

I know that itch. I am on q9550 and because of that itch i ended up throwing in a used KFA2 680 to change a 470!
Maybe put the money on a piggy bank and wait till something better comes out that will need more raw power? I am looking at 4k and from the looks of it it will take some more gpus to come out to do it in single gpu.
Maybe the 980ti will be able to do it who knows.

Ah my itch to upgrade my PC subsided long ago. Around the time we stopped seeing any worthwhile jumps in CPU performance.

Screw I will try to sell my 3x GTX 780's and get 3x GTX 970's !

Need to sell my 780 now too! Wonder how much they will go for.

Buy a new card when those games come along.
The problem is then comes a GM200 based GTX980TI or Titan Black Ultra and you might regret it.
Or by then we will have 20NM cards.
But a GTX980 still would a reasonable upgrade overall.

Well it depends on the monitor/tv
The nvidia driver trick is dropping subsampling, which monitors dont support, only some tv's do (and call themselves hdmi2.0 in the process which is misleading)
Beter to be safe on the spec than tell everyone it can do 60hz
