anyone think it's worth selling my 290 to get a 980?
** NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 9xx SERIES NOW AVAILABLE INCLUDING OcUK REVIEW!! **
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
yes
Over 300 sold now guys! EPIC EPIC LAUNCH!
Should have ordered more, the 980 I wanted sold out too fast so I've resigned ot hunting a cheap 780 for SLI

Gotta say i'm not a big fan of the new name for KFA2/Galaxy... Galax just seems a bit odd. It's like Galaxy created an epic typo on their new line of GTX 970/980 cards and just stuck with it 
. What were they thinking when they came up with it? I prefer either Galaxy or KFA2 (Kick ******* Ass??). Will probably get used to the name over time though... GALAX(y)... Super Villain GALAX is here to suck your wallets dry!

Ive ordered 10,000+
Its more efficient hence why people are getting good results at 4k.

I might consider pre-ordering that reference looking Palit GTX 970 (even though i ordered a GTX 780 from you guys 2 days ago
). I prefer the blower type coolers and it's a shame you don't stock the Gainward version... I think the reference'ish cooler looks pretty smart. The Galax (cringe) card looks a bit ugly with baby blue on the cooler shroud and a blue PCB, but that's just my opinion. Will you ever stock the Gainward versions?

Oh right i didn't know about that, i know they used to be a decent brand. Not too sure these days though. I'm sure Palit are not too bad if i go for their blower type 970 (hopefully)

Gainward messed up lol
Good man Gibbo. A good example to other manufacturers showing them that you are not adversed to ditching suppliers when required and with your buying/selling power, I suspect they lost out big time. Well done on the sales here, I'm very encouraged by the prices of these cards.

well, my next card is defo going to be a shiny red & black MSI 970.
just need a game to come out to justify buying it ;D
going crazy on Destiny atm, so taking a bit of a break from PC gaming.
what kinda PC games are coming out in the next 6-12 months which need one of these cards for max settings at 1080p over a GTX 670/680???

There are already loads of them.
Damn, it feels like it was only yesterday you guys were announcing the special deal oyu guys had got with Gainward for stuff like cooler removal. Did they not live up to their end of the bargain or something?
Or did they literally insult you personally?
Yeah, they merged with Ex-Lax
