QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jan 16 2015, 10:39 PM) Only works if developers are using Nvidia's Gameworks API. Unfortunately, most developers don't.2GB Vram is silly, even if it's a mainstream card. The 960 right out of the box should be near equal to a 770. Oh i see.. Ikr..well,let's wait for the benchmarks to roll out first. QUOTE(llk @ Jan 16 2015, 10:56 PM) A local retailer already posted price for gigabyte gtx960 windforce RM989, gtx960 G1 gaming RM1059, stock arrive next week The Gainward GTX970 4GB is priced at RM1099..  Well,don't know if the price is still the same,due to the currency exchange..

BTW, the leaked nVidia slides are hilarious and pretty misleading at the same time:    ...especially when the chart starts at a certain value instead of 0.

QUOTE(chocobo7779 @ Jan 17 2015, 07:55 AM) Ikr,if it were to be priced around the RM800-900 range,then that is better IMO.  Imagine someone getting confused saying that the memory clock is only 1Gbps.. This post has been edited by Minecrafter: Jan 17 2015, 08:02 AM

Imagine someone getting confused saying that the memory clock is only 1Gbps..  The pricing for GTX960 is that much? It should be around MYR700-800 then it will be acceptable IMO. If like this AMD will pretty much dominate mid tier card. Plus used HD7970 can get around MYR800 too...

Straight GTX 970 la. 4GB VRAM is very important for future games since PS4/XBoxOne crossplatform games now have huge texture's sizes already and going to bloat the VRAM. For example COD Advanced Warefare ate more than 2GB VRAM if set textures to max even on 768p.

QUOTE(chocobo7779 @ Jan 17 2015, 07:55 AM) Ermm..I think the data they are trying to present is still interpretable. You are referring to the overclocker's dream slide right? Biasalah manufacturers sure wanna put a certain base value to show how "high" their clock speed can be right? If put "0" how does it relate in terms of the chart scale?

Speaking of which, lots of people are now reporting that the 970 really only can access up to 3.5-3.6GB of VRAM. I have not actually checked into this yet, so I cannot say for now.

normal to have highest end of one range to be same price as lower end of a higher range.
I'll take reference GTX 970 over custom cooler GTX 960 any day.
If you guys look at the memory configuration the GTX 960's memory bandwidth is much reduced compared to GTX 760.
