Anyways... sleep time. Hopefully I have a ROG Swift within a couple of weeks.
People on other websites were ordering them before the pages were officially up so I don't know what to say.
Yes! Thank you. Got my order in for a superclocked 970. I've had an EVGA card for about a year now, and have had no issues. Pumped to get this into my machine after the weekend. First "up to date" card I've ever had.
Thanks for the link. I am thinking the 980 will be at least $650 CAD. Waiting for NCIX to update their page so that I can order one and hopefully pick it up tomorrow.
How with the power supply? The 980 says it needs a min. of 500 watts. The most the X51's go up to is a 330 watt power supply.
Nice! I went with the 980s as well, two of them.
Was going to go for the 970s but no Titan style blower on them I guess.

Ah, didn't know they changed the name. I can stop making a fool of myself now.
Well maybe the GM200 will make it into a 1800Ti (1080Ti?), like how the 780Ti is a GK110

This is a good thread for x51 info

That doesn't sound right. Windforce cards are about 11.1 inches. 16 inches wouldn't fit in anything really.

Just threw down for a 970. Should be a nice upgrade from my 660 at 1440p

Triple SLI? Jesus. What resolution are you running?
More importantly, does SLI still scale horribly past two? Not that I have the money but it would be good to know.

Just ordered 2 Gigabyte 970s. Could have picked up the Asus right away, but the cooling of the Gigabyte is just too superior to all the other cards. Might as well wait a couple days. Aaaaaaargh!

Card Dimensions (L x H)
15.9" x 9.3"
Shit. FUCK. Well, I just found out I can remove a hard drive bay in my PC (Fractal R4, remove the middle cage and move an HDD) to make room for a stupidly long card. But still, yeesh.
FUCK really? my case can only hold 14.3 should i cancel or is it a mistake?
Gigabyte is the way to go for the 970. Coolest card at highest clock, and no noisier than the MSI. Only advantage the ASUS 970 has is that it's the quietest, but at load only by 1 dbA.
Gigabyte is the longest and most expensive though, so that might mean something for some folks.

970 has slightly better performance with a lot better power consumption.
Never knew about this thread! Awesome, thanks pal.

The info is wrong, card is about 11" like every other card. See pic. If it was 16 it would be hanging from the end and then some.
You're sure? How can you tell?

Here's a review of the card: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_970_g1_gaming_review,2.html
Says it's ~30cm long, so less than 12"
Gigabyte 970 should still be available here on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NH5T1MS/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Slightly better than the 780ti although the price and extra gig of ram is great.
I'm disappointed somewhat that after nearly 2 years, the GTX 980 can only beat my GTX Titan by 2-5 fps in each game @ 1440p & 1080p.
I was hoping for a bigger difference, but I can't say I'm not happy for myself. Plus I still get DX12.
I will tell people get a 780Ti if you can find it cheap, since you will be getting near equal performance as a GTX980.

So then, the 970. 4 Teraflops of power for $330. Huh.

970 seems like a great buy to ride out the next few years. Really excited that Nvidia priced it reasonably.

Haha, no problem! Looking to maybe buy that card for myself, too, and 16" would be way too long.
cheers, Its just nice to know where my card sits in relation to the nvidia stuff
Oh god, so close to ordering a pair of those EVGA 980s... Must...Resist...
Wouldn't it be better to wait for aftermarket coolers?

I'll probably wait for the EVGA to come back in stock, $378 AUD posted!
Yes, especially if you are only running 1 or 2. Get reference if you are running 3 or more.

Congrats to Nvidia, with the 970 it seems they have released the first solid gpu with a really good dollar/fps ratio in the last years.
I would say since the 200 series.
Shipping in 3-4 weeks ohgawd.
Methinks that wait is enough for me to stick it out until Black Friday and see if that price will go below $340.
