970's were never that price, lowest they hit was £239.99 inc. vat, they are now starting from around £260 inc. vat, simply down to exchange rates changing.
960 also not be that price, your miles out, way under £200 !

Nice to hear that the 960 pricing will be good.
I think these cards will punch above their weight and do very well on the bench threads.

lol like you will be buying one
or buying one of anything haha
seems to me its more likely to be a 760 coil whine edition
some midrange progress would be nice for those buying on a budget!

I actually find mid range cards more interesting than the top level ones.
If I used cards only for gaming I would have no problem using a single 960.
So those of us that were waiting, might as well just get our 970's like we planned
If this was FB I would like your comment, maybe 960 is just strategy to sell more 970, it worked with me

There will be some improvement in performance, but I think the big gains on cards from 4 years ago are in power consumption, noise and heat. People turn their nose up at these arguments, but the less time, money and effort a mid level gamer has to put into setting up and building a PC then the happier they are.
A fast mid level card is all well and good but if you have to buy a dozen fans and run them at 60-90% speed to keep the thing cool then it's not much fun, it seems as though mid level cards are becoming very much fit and forget, with the enthusiast approach being reserved for purely enthusiast level cards.

In fairness, you are pretty much spot on. I remember paying £220 for a Gigabyte 560Ti, as that was all I could afford at the time and that couldn't cope with games fully maxed out (or modern AAA titles at 1080P) and I accepted that and accepted that I wasn't prepared to pay the extra for a 580 at the time.
I am not sure what people expect from a midrange card in honesty and seems some want a Ferrari but only prepared to pay for a Mondeo.

On other sites, not on here
As I nearly bought one but I told myself I didnt need it but I could have done with it now

That's more like it.
£150 would be a fair price probably.

Has anyone noticed that the rumoured Maxwell Titan specs are exactly 3x the 960 specs in bus, cores, ROPs etc.
I will be very interested in the 960 and how it goes on the benches.
Imagine the performance of the equivalent of 12 of these 960s in a PC.
Bring on the 960 reviews please.

Shame it wont be 3x the price
A significant upgrade on the previous gen's mid-range card, for the same money.
Is that too much to ask?
in 2015, 1080p with some AA i dont think is unreasonable
people talk about cpu's standing still but feels like pc gaming is going backwards, and bad midrange cards doesnt help that, as its what the majority can afford!?

lol so thats why you are interested!
So the obvious solution is to re-release the 760 at the same price 18 months later?
Whichever way you look at it, this release is no better than AMD's 285 release. Both are dire.
