Only £469 for the MSI Twin Frozr card? That's how much I got my 770 for. And a 970s for under £300? Want. Want them all.

What do they know of England, who only England know?

We need better gpu´s for crysis 3 lol :D

 

Anyway putting those old benchmarks numbers from 1 year ago in the same graph as the new GTX980, is not realy vallid is it?

Diffrent test systems, diffrence drivers and what not.

 

im sorry to say this, but this video kinda sucks.

Just put those cards head to head, in new benchmarks.

This is kinda horeshit.

 

Your top 3 cards in the benchmarks are 980> 780Ti> 780.

I know that these are the old numbers from 1 year ago.

Because everybody knows that the R9-290, is on par with the 780 at 1080p.

At 1440p in some games it even pulls slightly ahead on the 780, but not by much.

This is allready shown in allot of reviews, but your numbers telling diffrent story´s?

 

I still dont realy believe that the 2048 cuda cores on the 980 beats the hell out of the 2880 cuda cores of the 780Ti.

I do understand that maxwell is more power efficient and has some improvements over the previous GK110, but we still talk about the same 28nm proces, and still the same cuda core right?

 

But yeah i gonne wait for more vallid benchmarks then this. :)

Well, it looks like I will have to wait for the GTX 1980 to max out Star Citizen on a single card!

They indeed have theire new R9-300 series in the pipeline, but its not announced wenn they come out.

 

Rumoured spec´s of the R9-390X Bermuda XTX

- 4224 streamprocessors

- ~1Ghz GPU clock

- 7Ghz effective mem clock.

- 4GB GDDR5 Vram

 

Still this is all rumours

Well i placed my preorder on 2x 980 SC from EVGA, and will be watercooling them with EK waterblocks.

Im fine with it being similar in power to 780Ti since its still good upgrade for me from 590.

 

Tho my 1500W PSU will be like "wtf"

Hmm, still not seeing anywhere to buy it in Canada, hopefully we get the same price as USA.

I guess it's time to move on. Good bye my old and beloved GTX 670 - you served me well!

Machines take me by surprise with great frequency

It will not bottleneck, I'm pretty sure of it, a 4770K will be able to handle many more generations of GPUs to come at this rate. So you'll be fineeee!

 

Did I miss the 880 or what? :D

They wanted to make sure they mobile GPU series and desktop series have the same names if they're based on the same architecture, it's... er... I still don't get how they managed to "de-sync" the name in the first place.

Can anyone describe a PC build to go along with the GTX 980, preferably with an Intel i7 CPU, thanks!

I see!!  Well, they better come out with something quick otherwise they will fall way behind.  No matter how aggressive AMD becomes, Nvidia always manages to steal their thunder..lol!   Competition is bliss.

 

I'm ready to upgrade my gtx 670SC 4gb and was waiting for a gpu with hdmi 2.0/4gb of ram and thank God the 900 series delivers in spades.
