Review: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 and 980 reference

My gigabyte has been fine... My Asus... not so much.

 

Cracking prices, RIP AMD

 

I'm bummed I don't get any free games with my 980

 

This seems like a great architecture for mobile chips; heat and noise are persisting problems for gaming laptops, but with Maxwell, we might finally see viable solutions in that area without much compromise on performance. Very impressive, and pleasing to see that the market is finally starting to evolve away from 'bigger, hotter, faster' to 'leaner, cooler, more efficient' even if at the cost of a lesser performance increase over the previous generation than in the past. Only the latter path is sustainable in the long term, anyway.

 

Doesn't BL the prequel comes with that? probably in a bit they gonna have a new things, i think around December they might have GTA V package

 

I bought one, whatever -- it's EVGA if a Ti comes out within 3 months ill step up to it. If not I'll just sell it and buy a Ti. Tired of my 690. Need to wait for a waterblock now or just run it underneath my 690.

Newegg will call is awesome.

 

Count me in as well!

 

That was the decision i made with 780 ti's - they have more than plenty power for 1440p, but not nearly enough for 4k... so in 2 years time, there should be better 4k screen options (hopefully with g-sync), and 2 way sli should have enough power to consistantly push 60 fps.

 

How you get the p&p to be 84p??? It is costing me £10 but that was the cheapest option but since it is being delivered by DPD then I expect mine to arrive around 12 noon to 2pm hopefully. Love that they text you to let you know to the nearest hour what time the parcel will arrive and you can even track the driver's location (and his name) via the website!

 

Anyone know when the SLi reviews are coming?

 

I caved in and purchased 2 EVGA SC from SCAN will be here tomorrow morning

Made a new thread btw.

I would say 970 sli would be a massive upgrade for you, plenty for 1440p gaming. a lot cheaper than 980 sli too.

28 Inch 4K G-Sync.

 

Damn, looking like some really good cards there
the 970 is especially well priced.

 

Thanks Svarog but i have an Overlord Tempest at 100hz 1440p. I will be keeping this monitor until 4k 120hz.

 

have a EVGA 970 SC in my OCUK basket... shall I?

 

Where from dude? Is there much difference between the 970 and the 980?

 

Do it!!!

 

I want someone to do it with me. Darkest and you come buy one with me.

 

I will! Im on Scan atm I'm gonna buy 2 970 MSI frozer now!
