GTX 980 / 970 Discussion

[Qitarah]

780ti at stock yer? Or clocked as well

 

[Secret_Window]

A little faster at out of box speed, but the 970 loves an overclock at which point is smashes a 780Ti.

I have always been a bang for buck type guy and that's why I've mostly had ATI/AMD cards but I think you are right, better spec for just a tad extra money.

Ticks the box for me, only question is do I wait a month or so see if prices drop a bit.

Aint gonna drop when they are selling like hot cakes.

Ok, think I might be sold Can you confirm that the MSI GTX 970 Gaming has the 1x6pin and 1x8pin power same as the Galax OC and Gigabyte G1?

It does, I am playing with one right now!

1600MHz core and 8400MHz memory for benching!

Hmmm yea your right, think I'll go for the MSI 970 then

 

[Noxia]

Has anyone ever told you that you could be a good salesman one day?

I currently have a MSI GTX 780 Gaming. I have the itch for some new shiny bits, but can't help thinking these new cards wouldn't be a noticeable jump for me?

Was looking at the GTX 970, Can anyone give me there opinion please?

Also if these new card aren't really worth replacing my 780 yet, please look at my setup (in sig) and advise me what I could look at upgrading as like I say, I have the upgrade itch.

Wanted to move to devil's canyon and Z97 board but don't think that's worth it for me yet either as I only really use my PC for gaming.

Thanks

2500k vs 4790K with 60 games tested:

Basically no difference and since your overclocked perhaps even less.

If you got SLI one poster said here:

20-35% improvement however with better average fps.

Of course not everyone does dual gpu set ups.

With an 780gtx I would also say not really worth it much better off waiting till next year its clear Nvidia/AMD will have a proper next gen card hopefully then.

If you got an itch however and can sell your 780gtx for a good price the 970 might be able to be exchanged and overclocked to faster speeds. Same could be said for your 2500k if sold as a bundle if you get a decent price

1600MHz?? OK I take back what I said about the brink... and that's a 970?

 

[cHk4]

Worth going from two 4GB 670s to a single 970?

Only if your current rig can't cope.

Are you struggling with any games at your monitor rez?

 

[apostolis_kt]

Well I was considering getting a R9 285 to go with my new i5 4690k build but the 970 really has thrown a spanner in the works regarding the price!
For £60 more you seem to get a much nicer card.

I really wasn't expecting Nvidia to be that competitive.
Hmmm what to do!

saying that I currently have a 4890 so either card is going to be a massive boost.

970 for sure! You will see a huge boost indeed!

 

[Mr Fujisawa]

I've gone for a 980. Been out of the loop for a while, is my CPU gonna be holding things back?

 

[Secret_Window]

I know this is an Nvidia release, but this feels very reminiscent of the ATI 9800/9600 XT release years ago.

Great times.

 

[humbug]

The GTX 970 looks like its a great card for £270

 

[Relentless81]

760 gtx 2gb to 970 gtx 4gb will the performance increase be significant?

 

[Drizmod]

The 970 looks like its going to be an awesome allround upgrade from my 7950.

 

[Balb0wa]

Gone for gigabyte GTX 970 G1 , will be here tomorrow.

 

[Geeman1979]

760 gtx 2gb to 970 gtx 4gb will the performance increase be significant?

It will be a nice boost & twice the Vram.
