So, have they all sold out already or have they not put up any stock despite the product page being up? Tried to order two and it say they were already out of stock :/
 
I guess buying a 980 a month ago was a little silly. Oh well, I should be able to sell it here in Canada for a decent price that'll make upgrading to this easier.

That's why you always want to buy cards around launched. The longer you wait the closer to new card will launch and you will regret buying the old one.

Can it run hairworks without dropping a resolution or halving the framerate though...

Still. Should be able to smooth out some recent games at 2560 and bump up some more settings to ultra that my 780ti couldn't do. I'll take the bump in framerate and settings but feels like there isn't much oh shit star citizen okay cool.
 
Superclocked EVGA one went up on PCCG (Australia) for 999 instead of 1050. Also says it comes out today instead of tomorrow.

Tempting.

I'll be F5ing the page all day to see new model listings go up.
 
Interested, but really wanna see the 390x first. i7-2700k should still last me but 1440p may be too far a stretch for future titles. Patience.

Anyone buying one. You don't need the factory OC ones, unless the price is about the same. They should easily OC those speeds. And, get one with a aftermarket cooler. If they are anything like my Titans X, they will hit thermal limits quick, unless you run the fans at fast loud speeds. I don't so will be replacing them with EVGA AC+ coolers.

Finally, Big Maxwell in a non-Titan card.

980 Ti is pretty tempting, $650.

GTX 460 1GB ====> 980 Ti 6GB would be a massive upgrade.

Bought a GTX 980 via newegg ~10 days ago


What are my odds of a return / exchange? 😯

Pretty nice pricing from Nvidia but I get a feeling that they know what the 390x performs like and wanted to undercut it pricing wise. The ball is in AMD's court now. Doesn't matter how the 390x performs, if its more expensive than the 980ti, AMD will once again loose this battle.
 
Should I feel bad for having just bought a 980 (MSI Gaming 4G)? lol

I do, and I bought mine 5 months ago. Pretty much planning to scrap it as soon as store I can order at locally has these in stock(preferably an equally quiet MSI one). Also hoping the price hike for Europe isn't too insane.

Is thermal limit the maximum - 92 degrees celsius ?

It doesn't prevent that with the default fan profile? What do you have to raise it to?

Probably going to hold out for a nice sc version.
 
This card is designed for us 780Ti owners to upgrade to.

Trust your heart, you know you want this.

Used 780ti cards are selling for around $250-300 on Ebay right now, so that would put the upgrade cost if you can get it around $350-400.

That's tempting, as used 780ti prices are going to start dropping fast.

So if Nvidia is going all out like this, that can only mean that the 390/x is going to be pretty awesome, right? Nvidia does not toss a bone lightly.

When is AMD dropping 300 series?

At default, once they hit 82C, the card starts downclocking and fan really kicks in. You can raise it to 90C, but it's even more loud.

Most likely E3. AMD is sponsoring a PC press conference where they are expected to announce launch details.

OK thank you. I got one because I read years ago its made by seasonic or something and that it was a beast.

Glad its still a good one for this type. No OC btw.

Im possibly gonna wait for this 980ti to have a non reference card made and get one of those credit cards that offer "spend $500+, get $xxx back" card!! Love making those moves hehehe.
