GTX970 is considered as high end already ma, if we look at single gpu performance.

Guys, if you use Nvidia GPUs and HDMI out, please check the following article to confirm if you have the limited RGB colour bug.

About 20 minutes, they send the codes pretty fast. I had some problem figuring out how to activate it but turns out alright.

Why does it take that long? last time I redeemed Splinter Cell and Watch Dogs through Zotac website , they also send the codes on the same day.

To some gamers i think they dont consider that as high end.
Real high end ones are GTX980/980TI and 990 . As you can see the price jumps from double to triple the amount of gtx 970.
I myself using gaming msi gtx970 4g. To me.. it's underutilized for my mmo . Unless i plan to go triple screen gaming.

i love the GPU sector unlike the CPU sector

the only GPU faster than GTX970 is GTX980.....
980 Ti and 990 is not in the market yet.

Even tomshardware labeled 970 as high end

Later their R9 390X for RM899 habissss..

So you call that as what?Mid-range?To me,below RM900 is mid range.Above,high end.
Also,nothing about GTX980Ti or GTX990 so far.

that is why.... hard to get any solid info even on the release dates....

hahhahaa.... CPU sector is more like one-way slaughter?

i think GPUs >2k mark is considered waaaay out of mainstream gamers' reach already....
i think the sweet spot is 1.1k to sub 2k....

1 way slaughter,bad for consumers,though..
I agree,1.1 to sub 2K is the sweet spot.

Guys, i just sold my gigabyte gtx770 windforce to my brother for RM700, bought on march this year..now thinking to get a gtx970, which brand should i go for? Prices in penang for most brand is no way near rm1.1k cheap..all higher than rm1.2k liao..😤

960 to be launched jan 2015

Forgot about that.
Curious on the pricing,mana tahu..RM6xx..

If Penang island, you can consider these brands:

1. Leadtek GTX 970, bundle with Plextor M6S 128GB SSD - RM1399
2. Asus Strix GTX 970 - RM1499
3. Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming - RM1499 (no more Siberia V1 bundle)
4. MSI GTX 970 Gaming - RM1499
5. Zotac GTX 970 - RM1249

The first 4 models above are available from E-Tech, BJ Complex. Item 5 can be found from Gadget Zone (BJ / Queensbay). The listed prices are SRP, try asking for some discount. Don't quote me on the prices though, I just recall them from the top of my head.

the most i can spend on CPU now is 800 plus

just ordering xeon stripped down i7 actually hahahaha

though stripped down, but the price is also cheaper, unless you can justify the extra 200+ with the little additional mega hertz and the iGPU.

at first i was also lean towards the i7, until i learnt the existence of xeons and their differences....

if wanna go i7, me myself would go with the overclockable K series, else just Xeon

the 4790K looks good, even without OC already is 4Ghz

thanks dude for the advice! =D

wish i can get the free ubisoft game if i purchase in any store available later? is it qualified or not?

Just checked with Leadtek, all GTX970/980s by them are not eligible for the game bundle.

asus can get the code right out of the box if not mistaken .

But for gigabyte and msi need to claim through website .

Ya i know they are high end. But there are some who don't include them as high end cards. These refer to some who had very huge wallet

*some sites has mentioned that 970 is an upgraded version of 780*

If RM899 i consider buying

Not me. Some geek told me it's not high end but just a tad over mid end. The word from a salesman
