hmm, i don't think I'll be able to jump on at that price. but i'm not settling for the 970.
does anyone know if non reference cards get cheaper or more expensive?

So can an OCed 780.
More expensive, since they put custom coolers. I'm wondering how much will the eventual Windforce or DCU2 go for.

Hmm... if those prices are legit, I might only be able to afford a 970, which would still be a massive improvement over the 560 Ti 448. Part of me hopes this is just an Nvidia trial balloon, but given how shit the GPU market has been in terns of pricing, I think it's probably legit.

Christ, if true I can only imagine how bad the Aussie price will be, especially now that our dollar has tanked against the US. I'm guessing $800AUD for the 980. That R9 295X2 at $1199 AUD is looking better and better.
Well there goes my idea of selling my 780.

My point had more to do with incentives for them to put out better products. The competition is garbage, there is no consumer grade products which require said power and doing to "push the boundaries" doesn't == maximum profit. They are slowing down by choice as opposed to hitting brick walls; We are no where close to Moore's Law issues with GPUs.

Man, that's even higher than my stock oc'ed 780 but I guess the CPU might be helping it out more (vs my 3570k)

450 US for the ref 980 would make me very happy.
I'll buy the G-sync + 980 together.
Muhuhahaha

Those numbers seem too reasonable for Nvidia. Moreso the 980, I don't remember the enthusiast gpu ever launching at under 500 in recent memory.
I'd be happy to be wrong about it, though.

It is kind of funny (in a sad way) that the only leaps we've had is with the price.. 600 dollars for what essentially should be a GTX870 at best is a no-go for me. This is a crazy-train going nowhere. ..Which means I might have to hold off on Oculus Rift CV1 VR as well (my 660Ti isn't going cut it for 1440p 90Hz).
Edit: Of course, I guess the 600 dollar price is just a rumor..

450 USD = 600+ dingo dollars. Wonderful.

$450? I'm now hyperventilating less.
Didn't say they've hit a brick wall. Just that progress is slowing down. They are only delaying the 'best' they've got because they don't want to put it out now and then not have anything better for the next two years, allowing the competition to jump in and then not being able to fight with anything but pricing, which decreases profitability. If they were able to progress faster than this, there'd be no need for this kind of thing.
EDIT: I'll probably buy a 980 at $450. No, its not a great leap in performance from the 780Ti, but I basically see it as "Would I buy a 780Ti that only uses 180w and has more vRAM for $450?"

It would be nice to see a $450 launch price for the 980, but you are right, that is too reasonable for Nvidia. And their prices have not been reasonable for years.
Don't get your hopes up yet. Seriously.
Although it would be nice.....

If it's 450$ and has 780ti performance or better I'll be upgrading my 770 as soon as I find buyer for it

Honestly, nvidia going back to reasonably priced hardware is better news to me than 20% jumps in performance while 600-700 bucks.

We will know soon.
Honestly both versions are belivable - it just deepends on what nvidia want to achieve with those cards.
If they want to maximize short term profits then 600$ is likely.
If they want to maximize long term profit then 450$$ is likely - to agresively gain marketshare and userbase for g-sync and lock people in nvidia ecosystem.

As a Swede, I would 2 of them at 450-599, but my guess is that retail-price here will be around 750-800USD.
Probably going to end up getting a 780ti for ~600usd instead. But i seriously need a new gpu, my 580 is almost on fire when I game
That's a really good point. A reasonable pricing model in the early stages of G-sync could pay off in the long run.

Well yeah, if we convert SEK to dollar it will seem crazy expensive. I'm guessing we get to pay 4900SEK for the reference version and maybe 5400 for Windforce/DCII etc.
If only we could import and not have to pay any taxes and shit, would be soo cheap.

I just checked some online retailers here and they have the R9 290 available for €284 and the GTX780 (Zotac AMP edition with 1GHz clock rate) for €349.
What's surprising is that the 780 is only available at one retailer for that price. The others still sell it for €420+. That retailer is the biggest in the country as well, so I'm wondering if they want to clear stock before the 900 series comes in or if they accidentally applied some sort of official price cut too soon.
e: They sell the Gigabyte GTX780 for 369, too. This is really tempting.

Well, going by those rumors, two 970s in sli for $800 would be a gigantic improvement over a single $700 780ti, making that a pretty good high end deal. Almost double the performance going by those benchmarks.

Speaking of G-Sync, I've got like 3 hours to decide whether to jump on the AOC G2460PG at a $60 discount or so over normal local prices.
It's the cheapest G-sync monitor you can get in Australia. But there's only like one revew, the one I just linked. Really irritating, it's been out a month but that's basically it.

Apparently GTX 980 will have HDMI 2.0:

It was expected, but nice to know.
Now, all I need to know is the price and performance before deciding which card I will buy.

£300 UK Price for the 970 pleaseeeeee
It looks fine, go for it.
Nvidia will aim for as high as they can get away with just as anyone. 600 is definitely too much I think, I hope AMD will bring it so Nvidia have to price their last offering more sensibly.
But still not enough for 4K VR..
No, for that there needs to be a much more significant jump in performance.
600 would be too much for me, 500 maybe.
I might get 970 or 780ti even, depending on price/performance.
I am determined on getting Nvidia card this time around. Unless Nvidia "forces" me to go AMD again, because of their expensive pricing.

It is and when you sell the Borderlands key you could probably get 20€ back. I usually don't pay more than 200-250 for graphics cards anymore but sooner or later need a replacement for my 660 and if the 970 is priced way above that anyway.... or wait for the 285x. Problem is that I need my cards to be REALLY quiet. On the other hand I could drive to Alternate now, check out how the Zotac fares and bring it back later this week if it's too loud.
A 980 should be enough to do 4K VR in several scenarios. But I'm not sure if HDMI 2.0 supports 4K at 90Hz, is 60Hz max? I don't know. Would like to know. Wait! I'm confusing myself, my DK2 isn't connected to the HDMI port anyway, it's DVI.. Well, nevermind then I guess.. LOL

That certainly feeds the rumor of the 970 going for ~349€. There have been many similar discounts recently.
All I know is you you need HDMI 2.0 if you want to play games at 4K and 60 FPS. Don't about 90Hz, never heard anything about that.
Check out hardforums or other enthusiast forums for hardware there are plenty who write about monitors and post their experiences with them.

We'll see the reliability of this website. Supposed final specs for 980

By far the most surprising thing about that for me would be the 64 ROPs. On a 256 bit bus that would be a first for NV. If the cache works well for reducing memory BW limitations that should be pretty good for high resolutions.
