Why are you not pissed at Nvidia?

[WhiteSkyMage]

Whoever is expecting GTX 980 Ti, that would only happen if AMD scares the hell out of Nvidia like last year with their Hawaii cards. So, Nvidia will always try to hold the crown, but expect the Ti card to be about $700 just like 780Ti when it was released.

Many enthusiasts, including myself, have expected a leap in performance with the new GTX 900 Series. However we did not get it.

 

In fact a more often than not the GTX 780 Ti beats the GTX 980. 

 

Also Nvidia claimed that 900 Series would be cheaper... That applies for the GTX 970. But not for the GTX 980. The cheapest 780ti costs

429€ (Asus DCU II) and the cheapest GTX 980 costs 516.9 € (Galax Reference cooler) . (May change over time)

 

So it's not cheaper and it's not faster... 

 

What did we get then? 

 

A more powerefficent GPU? Yes. But as Linus said it 'Imporovements in powerconsumtion are boring' (Pharaphrasing)

Some new features that we are not likely to use?

 

Why is nobody mad? Especially Youtubers and reviewers are suprisingly positive about it. I expected many to crush the GTX 980 in their review.

 

Enlighten me. Why are you not mad? I'm am sure Nvidia has something better up their sleeve but this is a dick move. 

 

I feel like Nvidia is not the enthusiast's place to be anymore. The grass looks a lot more green on the red side now... (See what I did there?)

 

 Do you agree with it me? What's your opinion on the GTX 900 Series?

 

 

Tell me all about it.

 

We aren't pissed because most of us are waiting for the 20nm maxwell refresh.

I bought the 970 for something to play with until 20nm!!! :lol:

Eh, to each their own. It wouldn't make sense in my case.

I dont mind throwing money away. I push stuff as far as i can then get bored and upgrade. I do this with everything i own. You only live once!!

Waiting for the 980ti.  Then I will share my feelings.

From what I understand the 980 is using the full maxwell die so where will the Ti come from?

Not from GM204.

It will be called something else, just like how the 680 was Kepler, but so was the 780 and Titan but a different chip on the same tech.  GM200 will be the 700 series to the 900 series.

GM210 most likely.
