GTX 980 / 970 Discussion

VC said that "760 is pretty much backbone of 970" so maybe it's the 760 pcb but with a hamstrung Maxwell?

EK only has 980 listed on cooling config.

here is the Inno3D 970 PCB, note the Nvidia written on PCIe slot, this normally denotes reference design

Yeah, it has no back plate, which is a bit of a shame, as this would
have been my first choice for a 970.

It will be an awesome card though :D

For some people, it won't bother them, but for some reason it bothers me.

First GTX 980 score on the Heaven 4 bench thread posted by whyscotty.:)

Who is going to be next.

And can anyone knock the EVGA 780ti Kingpins off the top of the board.:D
 
I'm really torn now. 970 sli looks like amazing value, but I am not sure if I want 2 gpus again. The heat and noise can sometimes be annoying, not to mention games which won't see the second card until either an update or driver is released. So I may just get one gtx 980 and be done with it - or would one gtx 970 be enough ? I game at 1080p@120hz.

I thought the exact same thing mate, I always prefer a single card option but the performance of the 970's in SLI is just incredible. For only £100 more than a 980 I have a ridiculously powerful machine which should last a while :)
