I saw on IdealTech's pricelist..end of January.

Also..

If only i've a bigger budget..or the price is around R9 270. plus the R9 270 is a decent card. Well,not as good as GTX960 for sure.

haha same here

when will they bring MFAA to sli cards ?

Kinda sad cant used it even though got two maxwell card

no point grabbing 8GB if not in SLI and ultra hd resolution.

If they decide to do that..i'm guessing the Ti will be priced close to the GTX970..
So far,cheapest GTX970 is Zotac's at RM849,AMP! At RM949.
4K resolution with GTX970?It will struggle.

You should've mentioned in your post.

That will also struggle at 4K TBH.

depends if you're a fanboi or not. If you're fanboi, just recommend it.

Else, just recommend 290x 8GB so that everyone can play console port game safely.

"According to a report by PCPerspective, which cites Jonah Alben, senior vice president of GPU engineering at Nvidia, the GeForce GTX 970 features 56 raster operating pipelines (ROPs) and 1792KB L2 cache, not 64 ROPs and 2MB of cache, as previously reported. In a GeForce GTX 980, each block of L2/ROPs directly communicate through a 32-bit portion of the GM204 memory interface and then to a 512MB section of on-board memory. Since the model GTX 970 lacks part of L2 and ROPs, it cannot effectively use 512MB of 4096MB of onboard GDDR5 memory."

lol I believe even in GPU-Z your GTX970's show 64 ROPs yes? Nvidia did some big con job this time.

when I bought GTX970 I never think it will handle the 4k resolution, and I also don't problem to play all the games i play with it.

but I not happy is because nvidia CHEAT us the spec

i got respond from Gigabyte, just speechless on the support.

Dear Johnny Wong,

This is the hardware design and since there is nothing wrong with the hardware, there is no return offer on it. Below is the official statement from NVIDIA for your reference.

The GeForce GTX 970 is equipped with 4GB of dedicated graphics memory. However the 970 has a different configuration of SMs than the 980, and fewer crossbar resources to the memory system. To optimally manage memory traffic in this configuration, we segment graphics memory into a 3.5GB section and a 0.5GB section. The GPU has higher priority access to the 3.5GB section. When a game needs less than 3.5GB of video memory per draw command then it will only access the first partition, and 3rd party applications that measure memory usage will report 3.5GB of memory in use on GTX 970, but may report more for GTX 980 if there is more memory used by other commands. When a game requires more than 3.5GB of memory then we use both segments.

Regards,
GIGABYTE

the GTX970 fiasco, is it a software driver issue? thought they mention it was the hardware side's memory architecture design? if so, how does a software driver would help the situation??
