980 and 970 specs

Based on this articles, the specs seem like a downgrade in every way. Fewer cuda cores, lower bandwidth ... The only plus (and this is a big one) is the super low tdp.

Ahhh, gotcha. The price/performance on the 970 is unreal

nick just posted linus video we don't need bloody fake information anymore

If the only plus is just lower TDP with no accompanying gain in performance than that's a big minus in my books. I rather the GPU manufacturers release parts that push the limits of the architecture not play it safe.

The new architecture is much more efficient and the increase in L2 cache should help. The lower tdp would give you more headroom for overclocking and the clock speed is higher than most models of the 780 ti, not to mention the extra gig in vram. The 970 starts at $330. That information has been confirmed. The 980, however, starts at about $550, but that information is unconfirmed.

price/performance have never been an nvidia feature historically speaking. Perhaps they might have learned something from Radeon and AMD in that regard but I doubt it. nvidia will release another overpriced part because they know that people will pay for it. just my 2 centz.

where has the 330 been confirmed?????

I'm not sure about 100% confirmed, but it has been stated by more than one source.

ive been watching the stream and didnt hear him say anything about a 980 or 970

The 970 looks like such an amazing deal, not to mention it uses about 70 watts less than my 7950.  Can't wait to get one and overclock the shit out of it!

[Sintezza]

lol that article seem full of bullshit to me

 

im going to wait to see some more vallid proof

I am liking these cards but wait for AMD to release their cards first that's what I am doing. At a minimum you will have better options if you do end up going with nvidia.

I am watching the Game24 live stream. Prices have been confirmed by nVidia! GTX970 329 USD and GTX 980 549USD.

I want to, but I also want to sell off my 7950 while there is still good enough value to put towards a new card.  Decisions, decisions...

I think the 970 is the pick of the bunch price/performance wise...

Nvidia is pricing their new cards so aggressively, I can only see AMD matching their price/performance.
