German review: http://www.computerbase.de/2014-09/geforce-gtx-980-970-test-sli-nvidia/

Sounds like there will be custom boards for the 970 from the start unlike the 980.

 

[VisceralBowl]

NVIDIA WAS WORKING WITH THE ALIENS!

 

[Rentahamster]

I'm not saying it was Aliens....but it was Aliens.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Nvidia are aliens confirmed

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I'll probably do the GTX 970, and overclock it over reference 980, and hopefully with EVGA in tow. With the OC, it could close the gap between the 980 and make up for that insane difference.

 

[wildfire]

Remove everything that isn't PCPer, GamesHardware, Guru3D, and TechReport

Lab 501 is actually really good

 

[wwm0nkey]

Should I use my 30day return and return my 780 and upgrade to the 980 for $150?

Might as well.

Yep, for example the Asus 980 Strix will come in October.

Hmmm. I'd say yes, but that is me.

Obligatory "but the 980 overclocks too and widens the gap again anyway"...

GeForce GTX 980 4GB - $549

YES

Need a second job confirmed.

GeForce GTX 970 4GB - $329

Redemption.

 

[TheRed]

$329!! Wow

 

[RK9039]

Time to upgrade.

 

[Metroidvania]

It ain't 299, but 329 ain't bad.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Can I buy this 970 yet

 

[DarkFlow]

I like how they compare it to the 680 lol. Can't compare that to the 780 now.

 

[Tain]

guh just let me buy this where can I buy this tonight

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Obligatory "but the 980 overclocks too and widens the gap again anyway"...

I get that, but I still have a reference GTX 680, and I would be happy to get it to 980 reference.

 

[SneakyStephan]

BOOO HIM HAZ BOO HIM

he didn't boo

all those shills clapping for 550 bucks almost ruined my good mood

329 for the 970 is close enough, midrange once again affordable for consumers.

Yup

 

[Felix Lighter]

If it's such a good overclocker, I'd like a better custom cooler.

 

[mkenyon]

Okay, don't boo, $329 not bad.

If it's such a good overclocker, I'd like a better custom cooler.

[Rabid Wolverine]

Time to retired the 670. 970 here I come.

 

[LumpOfCole]

$329 is not very far from that sweet spot at all.

 

[eBay Huckster]

what's stopping me from selling my 780 and buying a 970 right now

 

[Salty Hippo]

How much will the non reference models cost?

 

[Tablo]

Holy shit that 970 is insanely well priced.
Still want to splurge for the 980 though since I'm on mini itx and can't sli

 

[Krappadizzle]

Is my 780 safe for the next 2 years or so still?

 

[Sentenza]

The POSSIMPiBLE.

Why would you?

 

[LumpOfCole]

Yeah a 780 is more than good enough unless you're going to go crazy with multimonitors or a ridiculous resolution monitor.

 

[iavi]

Decent prices. Nvidia shook things up here.

 

[mkenyon]

The 980 price is inflated by capitalizing on epeen tax.

If you're buying to upgrade from a 670 or lower, get the fkn 970.

 

[Josman]

970 appears to be an amazing value, 780 ti performance for $329 and a low TDP? dayuuumm
980 price difference is just absurd, shouldn't be more than $450-500

Seriously how will AMD respond?

I'm torn, I have no clue if I should wait for 20/16nm or get this card, Oculus Rift consumer version release is my time limit.

 

[Rentahamster]

Hahaha, this Nvidia promo movie sounds like the part in Armageddon when the president is making his speech about how they're going to save the Earth.

Lastly, from Anandtech:

[Zeth]

When can I buy and will they be out of stock?

 

[Exuro]

So, is nvidia going to change up the naming scheme now that we've hit 9 again?

 

[EternalTruth]

The $330 GTX970 for GTX780 level performance seems like a good deal.

From the reviews it actually looks like it may be slightly faster when using MSAA and noticeably faster when using MFAA and overclocking...

I own a GTX780 and Iam excited by it for some reason lol

 

[MickeyKnox]

Is this Peter Coyote's voice?

It has to be

 

[BrokenEchelon]

If I had a 780 living inside my chassis right now, I wouldn't upgrade.

More interested in the new games he hinted at being announced here.
