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

Tempted by the 970. Same performance as my 290 but much lower power draw and less heat. Be very nice in my mITX setup... very tempting...

Not crazy at all if GTX 980 really sells for £350 ish @ launch as Nvidia knocked the price down at the last minute & it really offers much better power consumption it will be a killer card & devalue the entire current high end single GPU market (except for Titans they are always an exception due to compute performance).

Suddenly you have last years high end become mid range literally over night as price per watt on 980 is superior & performance on drivers will improve a little. I think its unlikely Nvidia would launch these @ a major self promoted/funded event if they were not something worth upgrading to.

I love my GTX 780 Ti but I can admit its power hungry as it needs to run on recent games @ high watts to power my 2560x1080 Ultra Wide monitor maxxed out ;)

Agreed.

I like trying out the latest stuff, and don't hold onto long enough to worry about it. The longer you keep stuff the more value it loses, so really whichever way you do it you will lose money eventually.

Your either a person who likes to stay at the current end of tech, or your not. I don't think either type really cares what the other does tbh.. I know I certainly don't :p

Looking forward to the proper reviews now, I don't think IGN counts :D
 
Well I'd like to know how both the 780Ti and the 980 run when both are clocked at 1200mhz, considering the 780Ti they're testing is still clocked at 875mhz and we all know its got another 35% of extra performance available I doubt clock for clock the 980 would beat the 780Ti, now the question is how high does the 980 clock with the stock fan.
 
Do you think them new drivers that were shown in the gpuz screenies will be out with the cards tomorrow or a bit later on, tbh im surprised the drivers wernt leaked already ahead of the cards launch.

Saying that I'd put it out there that the peeps with the best/newest top gear, suck at gaming in general! (still) ;)

Shhesh Everyone knows its all about graph wars :p
 
I'm taking a brief break from a long line of NVIDIA cards, with a 7970GHz at the moment, but I suspect that I'll be back with one of these beasts in a few months! :D
 
Nahhh, 2 cards look better than one, and the power savings won't be substantial. Thing of the beauty of dual cards! :p
