**Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 / 980 Review Thread**

'Looks at 780Ti'..

"it's time for you to go fella".

If you enjoy overclocking, yes get rid now!

 

[Buckster]

I love new tech

but in reality at 1080p with my overclocked 290 - even with lots of AA does any game run badly - nope

 

[Rofflay]

1500mhz on the core with some insane triple slot solution? :S

 

[Fruitbooter]

When you see my results you guys will be amazed by how fast this new stuff is, let me say this, the best cards overclocking wise I've ever tested.

Sounds good! I hope the 970 is a great clocker and can match 780ti... Wishful thinking?

 

[Gibbo]

Gibbo please do benchmarks in games at 1080 too, that's what will make me decide if I should upgrade or not. Also please include Battlefield 4 when benchmarking games please.

Nope.

It's taken me 48hrs to do what I've done, the last two days have being 12hr plus shifts in the office alone and then continuing to work at home and tomorrow I've got an early start, can only do so much.

You'll be getting what I've had time to do and no more which is a damn site more than any other shop selling stuff.

For games there will be plenty of reviews out there to read, my reviews focus on benchmarks and overclocking ability.

Wishes can come true.

Or maybe not!

Running a R295x2, and finding half my games aren't taxing enough and zero core jumps in and turns one of my GPU's off which I find rather hilarious.

But my interest is peaked hearing about these 980's.

I'll take a Gigabyte Reference GTX 980 if I can get Saturday delivery?

Are all the cards going live at 8am?

 

[Wizzfizz]

Nope.

To be fair you've probably spent 30hrs of that making pyramids...

lol - when I got my 290 I booted up Crysis 3 and every other game I could find as taxing as possible - all ran ok ...


.... I then went back to playing Diablo 3

LOL !

 

[Buckster]

oooh so if I'm getting this right

the cards are for sale tomorrow as well ?! thought it was just reviews/info tomorrow

 

[Gibbo]

Simply not had time.

[Boomstick777]

Ha, brilliant

 

[Wizzfizz]

Simply not had time.

You best get some overtime in at 4am then...

 

[jb7]

Should my 4K monitor be excited?

 

[spot35]

Impressed by those benches. A 970 rivaling a 780ti is impressive. It is interesting to see that the black still holds its own.

Looking forward to those reviews tomorrow.

 

[kalyyy]

mmmmh a 780ti oc 1300mhz+ still beats these 980 OC
