Damn I just bought the Gainward GTX970 and still have NOT arrived and now 8GB version!

awww snap

so now you are saying that why games today suddenly surge over 10-20GB plus in sizes from the standard 4GB sizes 10 years ago is because of uncompressing textures?

Then 4GB isn't enough? I'm fine not playing with AA MsxAa Or whatever it's called.

Lol,IdealTech just got them.

The 8GB version too?
Last I check the 4GB version just landed in Msia and belum sampai to Ideal shop!

Erm something like pre ordered paid full but eta next week
Gigabye gtx 970 g1 gaming zzz

Same here , wtf they are thinking . I hope the price difference is a lot else I'll be piss

kinda, since Xbone and PS4 now can read BD drives already (PS3 already can long time ago)

so devs dont bother compressing files anymore

rmb payday 2? first day on launch, download size 26GB

after they compress, 6GB installer file

what sorcery

technically with PS4 VRAM buffer or 8GB, (less OS cost) will give you back abt 6GB+ of VRAM

so as long as your cards have 6GB, its sufficient to last

or as long as devs dont spam uncompressed stuff

Not sure why but every time I try to scan for games on the geforce experience my windows freezes.

Update: My GTX 970 runs Dayz worse than my 280x. FFS!

Use DDU http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/displa...r-download.html to uninstall (pick option with safe mode) , then download fresh driver from Nvidia website then install. Nvidia released a new whql driver few days ago.

Yeah already did that for the new card. Removed all AMD and Nvdia drivers.

Even in Geforce experience it is asking me to set low settings for optimal performance with dayz. FFS I think my gtx 760 asked me to set higher settings.

AB shows GPU utilisation is less than 30% for DayZ and the load doesn't even try to hit higher than 1200mhz. I really don't understand... The temps are lower than 50 all the time because the card isnt even trying to work hard.

For example in CS:GO and Insurgency which are both Source based, everything is running Max and the GPU load and utilisation is all high.

According to Gibbo from OcUK, those 8GB rumours on 970/980 was a clickbait since there's no 8GB variant in the making yet, at least they're not going to release it this early. Gotta milk those 4GB cards till its dry.





Sauce: Nvidia to reveal GTX970+980 with 8GB soon. | Nvidia to reveal GTX970+980 with 8GB soon.

happy birthday

Thanks lol . I'm glad the 8gb variant not coming too soon else it diminished the gtx 970 4gb value

Hot damn, copper clad MSI 970 Gaming edition.

Not sure how to get it as this will be a limited edition release.


P.S
Now, why can't MSI release that backplate for all existing 970/980 Gaming owners.

I've the Asus GTX970 , wondering if anyone else got the CD drivers working ? it installs but Windows dosen't detect the card. Freshly built PC with Windows 7 and had to download drivers from nVidia site instead.

So far so good, Max Payne 3 on High and fans started spinning only after half an hour

Why bother with the older driver versions that come with the CD? Download the latest ones from Nvidia website and game away.

Yup, love the 0dB feature. My observation so far is that the fans will only start to spin once it reaches 65C.

Yeap, I think it says that on the box too

Does your power cable touch the heat pipes ?

The CD dun have including driver, just pdf manual.

No, mine does not.
