I just can't get excited, until they release a uber looking game, that's actually FUN TO PLAY... to justify an upgrade..

I am, but I would need a new computer for it to go in.

And a significantly larger amount of spare money than I have now.

Installed a 750 ti in a build I did for someone. Great GPU with the little energy consumption for its performance thanks to maxwell. Very satisfied with it.

Once some huge Unreal 4 games are released people will realize the potential, plus you're the one always going on about 4k :P

The differences between the 970 and 980 don't seem very big though, it may be better to wait for the 990 or 980Ti

um...  I'm not sure if the 970 is a good buy yet, I can't tell if they're salvage chips..

If they're salvage chips, I'd get the 970, cuz there might be chance for unlock... i know, I'm dreaming, but it's possible..

Otherwise,  just get the 980...


980ti or 990 won't be for a while,  but assssuming they're going to be $700 and not $1000,  they'll be a good buy,  because they'll have the double precision power back with more transistors,  and given the already 20 % boost in clock..

We're probably looking at up to 30% boost in processing power (NOT benchmarks) over the 780ti
