519
 
Small stores put a huge increase on price tags. The few shops around me usually have a 20%+ markup on all of their stuff. I'm talking like $200 motherboards with a $140 MSRP type markup.
 
I hope to god that the $519 is bullcrap... or Canadian... or Australian for that kind of money. I was expecting the 980 to be $500 and the 970 to be about $400.
 
A quick google of the retailers on the barcode "TECS" brings up an Australian retailer.

~$400 US cards are about ~$500 in AU, so I'd say $400 is where the 970 will land, $350 at absolute maximum and most unlikely lowest.

Most rumors that placed the 970 at $400 also stated the 980 was going to be $600, so this isn't looking good IMO.
 
Interesting. That might be CAD (or AUS as it's been found?) so I'll speculate about $449/$649 US for the 970/980 respectively. It sets up everything "nicely" for the arrival of big Maxwell in Q1/Q2 next year for only $999. ;-)
 
Honestly, it looks like a bit of the 'white' around the 519 overlaps over the normal bottom line of the barcode, there's a slight dip when it ends.

Still hoping for 350 USD (or less) for the 970, at any rate.
 
There is no way that the price tag is real. At least it's not USD.

Thank you. So it is 399 after all.
 
I...welp. No upgrade for me. 6950 gives of a sigh of relief, knowing full well it wont be replaced

Even if it is the Aussie price, it still does not bode well for the USD price.

Well, still nothing is confirmed, I'm just making assumptions based on the evidence we have in that image. Unless there's a TECS in the US that I don't know about, it's definitely an Aussie company and AU pricing, which if previous GPU's prices are to go off, it should land around $400.

For reference, a GTX 680 at launch was $500 in the US, and over $600 in AU. So the inflation bullshit for cards around this cost usually ends up being about $100-150.
 
Fuck, that $519 price tag is the worst fucking markup I've ever seen, and I've seen military exchanges charge launch prices for old cards like the 460 and 760.
 
They must have had a much higher resolution image to get that price tag off of since with the current image given there's no way to enlarge or zoom into it to see the price details.

My 6950 is still shivering a bit, because the R9 290 I talked about yesterday was lowered to 279.90 EUR, which is really tempting.

The only problem I have is that I don't feel the need to buy an old card (if that makes sense). A GTX970 for 299 would almost be an impulse buy, but something as old as the R9 290 doesn't feel that satisfying.

Even if its aussie, it would cost 462usd which is still crazy. Unless aussies get brazilian levels of import inflation... I'm not familiar with their tax rates.

I live in Australia and the PS4 here costs $549 Retail, which is $150 more than the US and considering nearly all the PC shops here charge even more for graphics cards because they consider them a niche market. I would guess that the US price for the 970 would be somewhere in the range of $329 which would also fall in line with bj00rn's post:

This site claims that the reference model is somewhat confirmed to be 299 USD. I don't know..

Edit: Wait, I missed the 519 price... What the hell is going on. It would be completely insane..

Yeah, my dad's shop does stuff like that, maybe not 20% on everything. Rent is very high where we live, so in order to not close you have to bump the prices up. A $300 MSRP would be amazing for the 970 though.
