Dude, Where's The Desktop 800 Series Maxwell Announcement at Gamescom 2014 'Grand Finale'?

There is none.



So, it's September 10-12 2014.

But here's a rocking news...

Nvidia GTX Titan II Flagship with GM200 Core Is Launching Sooner Than Expected – Ready Within 2 Months

http://wccftech.com/nvidia-gm200-core-titan-ii-soon/

The GTX Titan II (or whatever it is called) should give you a minimum of 50% performance increase in Gaming in real life settings,

NVIDIA is expected to brand-name its next GeForce GTX desktop discrete GPU lineup under the GTX 900 series, and not the previously thought about GTX 800.

880 GTX is so much more delicious than 980 GTX in my books dang i been dying so hard 2 collect the 880 and now this news

so in meaning they will directly skip it to gtx900 series with 20nm process??

Maxwell is GTX900 series assuming the news is legit

and it should be running on 28nm

The company is likely working with add-in card partners, and retailers, to tweak pricing of its performance-segment GeForce GTX 770 2GB, bringing its price around the US $275 mark, $25 more than the cheapest R9 285,

Well, leaked benchmarks are out for the GTX970/980, as well as the mobile counterparts....





Take this as a huge grain of salt, since there's not much about the power figures, as well as thermal and acoustic performance.  The source is rather dubious as well, since Videocardz isn't really known for accurate leaks.

Hopefully nVidia prices those cards right, but knowing nVidia...

Leaked benchmarks for Galaxy GTX970.... though they benched the card with an i3 and a 32-bit version of Windows 7....

The new one reveals MSI giving the TwinFrozr V cooler a bold 2-tone cooler shroud, holding a pair of 100 mm fans that ventilate a chunky copper heat-pipe fed aluminium fin stack. MSI could give the GTX 970 a factory-overclock to take advantage of its meaty cooling solution.

its beautiful.
back to red theme with this..haha   
"2014/1/17"

so what's new in gtx 980? as from 6xx to 7xx there's quite a significant leap in performance.
btw, ayam selling my 780ti ->come help discard it plz

according to CyntrixTech, GTX980 price will be similar to current 780 Ti price or just slightly higher. 

When is the last time you use AMD cards? Their driver is pretty much as good as nvidia driver. Just sold my R9 290 btw, reason is my 620W PSU cant handle it. Still, its the best card I ever used and the driver is stable. No games I throw at it that it cant handle

The TDP of GTX 980 is rated at just around 175W, and that of the GTX 970 at 145W.

The GeForce GTX 980 is expected to start at US $599, nearly the same price as the GeForce GTX 780 Ti. The GTX 970, on the other hand, will start at US $399, danger-close to cannibalizing the GTX 780.

Gainward will launch three graphics cards based on the GM204 silicon later this week, its GeForce GTX 980 board, which sticks to NVIDIA's reference board design, a slightly non-reference GTX 970 which comes with reference clock speeds, and a completely non-reference Phantom Edition board,

The real gem is GTX 970 not the GTX 980.

GTX 970 probably RM1200, so RM2400 for SLI.
The SLI performance is goddam crazy, trading blows with 295X2!

And you probably can run the SLI GTX 970 system with cheap PSU, even 600 watt should be enough wow.

wow. gtx980 really rocks and beat up 780ti kaw-kaw.
zotac at rm1999 is so freaking attractive. geez, now won't be able to sell my 780ti dy
now aiming this https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3353169.

and the OC capabilities is damn insane. +150++mhz 

Yeah. Din saw this coming. Im not going to sell below 2.2k juz bcoz of this.
Rather to keep using it n sli in future to comfort self
I sense bro desperado will chg his tri-780ti to tri-980 soon.

random note:

anyone looking forward to out local reviewers to review the GTX980?

owikh84 and cstkl1 maybe xD

I wonder how much the ref 960 will b when it launches. Probably 850+?

SG listed prices for non-ref 970 already at least RM 1500.

ZOTAC GTX 970 - 3+2 Years Warranty, Reference PCB - RM 1199 (SRP)

is it worth upgrade from my GTX 670?

Go buy one and overclock your CPU...

BTW, I'm completely impressed by the GTX970 and the 980...  It seems like AMD is going to be in trouble, considering those cards are cheaper than the R9 290/290X, with greater performance and lower power consumption to boot.

I really want to see AMD to create a hugely successful architecture just like what they did to Cypress (aka the Radeon 5000 series).  I wonder how AMD is going to respond to this situation...  Huge price cuts maybe?

AMD really needs to hit a home run with their future GPUs, otherwise there will be no or little competition in the GPU market...

Now... I wonder whether should I upgrade to a GTX970 from my HD7950...

waiting for the non reference gtx 980 to come out.

hi , i am going to lowyat later , any tips on which GPU to buy ? i had in mind is R9 280 or 280x (but i have bad experience using Ati GPU) or maybe Nvidia with the same price range (1.2k) , please help

Forgot about the Windforce.  Well yes, Gigabyte has a great 970 too.
3 display ports which MSI does not have as well as a backplate. Depending on which costs more though (Gigabyte cards are usually slightly more expensive here, no?).
BTW, GTX 960 on the way. Launching by late October if rumors are true. Expect at least GTX 770 performance.

Anybody who is considering at getting a GTX 970 at 1400~1500 should seriously consider the offerings from Zotac, AMP! Omega and AMP! Extreme.

Currently waiting for my 980 to arrive. Can't wait to start OC-ing and bench that baby.

now I'm conflicting on whether to get a non reference gtx 970 or just go with a reference gtx 980
