nVIDIA reveals GTX 980&970's Specs and Price.

Still cant find any EU stores with the GTX 970 :/

The 970 GTX is incredible for the price, it's almost at 780ti level for less than half the price.

The OC version even matches the 780ti in some games.

I might sell my GPU and buy 2 of these beauties.

Do it

It seems that they prices have gone up. They were at £429 earlier today.

@effec_tor:

if full 4K gaming is what you're looking for, you might want to buy the 780ti instead.

NVIDIA has also revealed some benchmarks that can be viewed below.

Call of Duty Ghosts as a benchmark ?

Pfffffffffft hahahahahahhahaha

Can't wait to try out the 2 GTX 970 gigabyte versions that I bought.

One guy Oced his to 1600mhz and easily outperformed a stock GTX 980 which was already better than a GTX 780ti.

Now imagine what a good 980 can do.

The 980 was too overpriced for me.

They only have the reference model out which runs at 80c when oced a lot.

The non reference models will be close to 600USD.

That is why I went with two GTX 970s.

An OC of around 1400mhz will perform similar to the GTX 980.

Because it's hardly better than the GTX 780.

What a shitty ass gpu Nvidia... Have to compare it to a card from 3 years ago to make it look good..

I hope you are being sarcastic.

I'm going 3x 980's.

They scale well.

I don't want to burn a hole in my wallet so 2x GTX 970s is good enough for my 1440p monitor.

The price vs performance is outstanding considering it outperforms the 295x2 for 340USD cheaper while using a lot less watts.

Using 3 or more you can actually play on 4K at a decent FPS.

Now we only need AMD to announce something to compete with these.

I keep seeing these weird Tombraider results for the 780ti.

Tomb Raider running on Ultimate settings @ 1080p

This is with a single 780ti, it is oc'd to 1080Mhz but I doubt that would give nearly double the average frame rate of a stock card and I certainly wouldn't expect it to get me near a R295x. My PC was also running Norton 360 and all the other crap that loads on boot that would never be running on a test rig.

Nvidia has a problem with Tomb Raider IIRC.

The benchmark says 4xAA, I assume that means SSAA (Super Sampling x 4) Would explain the huge difference

Wii wait for 8GB versions to make a sli with those.

They probably don't have to, aside from cutting prices a bit.

Their next line of cards are coming out the first half of next year judging by press releases from their cooling partner.

3840x2160? who has a monitor at that resolution? The super rich? Mine maxes out at 1080p (had my 24" gateway since Crysis came out in 07' and not buying a new one anytime soon). Thats sad that instead of actual games that could push this thing at 1080p they have to push up the res... Nothing new on pc to take advantage of this really. I remember when quake 3 and unreal were the benchmarks, back then you struggled to play the games with the top of line cards because they were designed for them... now everything is a console port, indie or mmo (or stupid moba) on pc... and my favorite genre Turn Based Strategy..doesn't need this.

I am still sporting a 7870 and its fine for me. I guess in a few years when this drops to sub $200 is when I would pick it up, but until then this is unnecessary unless you are a benchmarker who likes spending fortunes on tech.

@Midnightshade29: 3840x2160 is 4k. You can get 27" 4k monitors for ~500\600$.

You can buy a 60" 4k for 700$(but you're limited to 30 fps)
