Well,not as good as GTX960 for sure. you wait so long, the budget should be increasing with every month pass by, unless you're not saving. that being said.. buy current gen, not 2 gens ago card.

"Updated my journal." Senior Member 588 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Penang \| Puchong \| Malacca	http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-960-msrp-200/ » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « ASUS Strix Invite Shows GTX 960 Retailing for $200 MSRP in Hong Kong ASUS Strix is holding an event in Hong Kong, called “ASUS STRIX Techday 2015″ on the 24th. While the memo for it might have seemed completely boring to some, the event date instantly prompted me to dig deeper. The event details (a copy of which can be found over at HKEPC) feature the usual marketing material and also a surprise giveaway with a blurred out picture. The most curious text lies under that, something along the lines of “the reader will be able to experience the yet unreleased Geforce GTX Graphic Card”. I spotted something amazing today. Nvidia fans can take a deep breath now. We have received two pricing updates so far: the first one at $313 Retail and the second one at $250 Retail. Now however, we have a third (and slightly more authentic) source: ASUS Strix. Well let me get down to it then. ASUS Strix is holding an event in Hong Kong, called “ASUS STRIX Techday 2015″ on the 24th. While the memo for it might have seemed completely boring to some, the event date instantly prompted me to dig deeper. The event details (a copy of which can be found over at HKEPC) feature the usual marketing material and also a surprise giveaway with a blurred out picture. The most curious text lies under that, something along the lines of “the reader will be able to experience the yet unreleased Geforce GTX Graphic Card”. Oh what could this new and mysterious card worth 1560 HKD possibly be? The fact that they mention “Geforce Graphics” as opposed to naming a card plus the blurred out picture indicates that they are obviously talking about the Geforce GTX 960. Now here’s the best part just below that the ASUS Hong Kong management has put the statement that “…have a chance to win ASUS STRIX new generation GeForce GTX graphics card valued (HK $ 1,560)”. And that, ladies and gentlemen is why you should never underestimate the Media. By simply converting 1560 Hong Kong Dollars to USD gives us the value of $200; $201.26 to be precise. I must admit that the 128 Bit bus width of the GTX 960 alarms me. However, I also have to grudgingly admit that the apparent overclocking potential of the card is a better deal for the $200 price point (compared to $250+). The $200 price tag for the base model is what I originally estimated ofcourse, so it does come as a relief. And because there is no possible reason (that I know off) for the GTX 960 to sell below retail in Hong Kong I think we can count on this as the most accurate update, effectively locking the price of the GTX 960. The mystery of the January 22nd Event is fading fast since we know more or less know what will be revealed. Lets see if Nvidia can still pull a rabbit out their hat.

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. This post has been edited by raydenex: Jan 27 2015, 06:23 PM

The funny thing is.. they could've advertised the GTX970 with 3.5gb VRAM and people would have STILL bought it and say what a wonderful price to performance ratio the card is.

Hilarious.

My 1st CL card - Graphic Blaster Extreme 4Mb (Permedia 2) Then CL Graphic Blaster Riva TNT 16 Mb (yeah......the bundled Incoming game....fond memories of that) I think it was called 3D Blaster bro Yup, they used to sell CD writer too, my 4x cdrw drive was a Creative.

Senior Member 588 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Penang \| Puchong \| Malacca	QUOTE(SSJBen @ Feb 4 2015, 06:02 PM) 7-10 frames is 12% average performance difference, as you can confirm with TPU's chart (or any other chart really). Frametimes > average frames. Having 200 frames in a game means nothing when there are micro stutters that brings it down to more than half of the average frames. If the 980 is sold at the 780's price prior to launch (RM1.6k-1.8k), then it would have been a really good deal. Even the vanilla 780 launched at > 2k price point, I recall paying 2199 (or was it 2099) for the Zotac 780 reference back in 2013 (first week launch). Others brands were typically priced higher.

"Updated my journal." Senior Member 588 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Penang \| Puchong \| Malacca	There are multiple factors in play, some off the top of my head; 1. Architecture of the GPU 2. Memory addressing/compression techniques involved 3. Process step in semiconductor fabrication (ie 32nm, 22nm, 14nm and so forth) So it's not as clear cut as comparing 128bit to 256bit to 384bit to 512bit etc etc.

It's a more appropriate to compare rather than comparing what bits it have. Bear in mind I didn't mention about the GPU core yet, just comparing memory. I think you're confusing which side of the argument I'm on.

So yes some people do equate vram to overall performance of card. You can imagine the laughs I had, poor guy.

This actually made no sense, friend. The link is about incoming 390x, totally nothing to do with 280x. Can't brain your comment. If you said finally a new Radeon flagship to replace 290x (single gpu of course) then make sense

"Updated my journal." Senior Member 588 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Penang \| Puchong \| Malacca	QUOTE(X3RXUS @ Mar 31 2015, 01:16 PM) Hello all sifus, I'm planning to get Palit GT740 2GB DD5 OC graphic card to go with Asrock H97 Pro4 motherboard. I'm wondering if it is a good graphic card and how much watts I need to look for in a PSU. Your replies are very much appreciated. Would help if you let us know what exactly you expect out of the card, ie what games you intend to play and at what resolution display (1080p? 1440p? less than 1080p?) I believe a standard GT740 would be fine with a 400w PSU (minimum requirement according to Nvidia) and a single 6-pin pcie power connector. Check the product's page at Palit website to see if they provide more specific requirement for their GT740.

"Updated my journal." Senior Member 588 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Penang \| Puchong \| Malacca	QUOTE(X3RXUS @ Mar 31 2015, 02:21 PM) Just some old games like Hellgate London, Crysis and Half Live 2. I set my display resolution to only 1280x960 as that is only my old crt can support. The price is just too high. My budget is below RM400. Respect. CRT user Yes GT740 is sufficient. A 400w psu, with at least 1 x 6-pin pcie connector. You can scour the garage sales for a used GTX750 or 750ti also which will be future proof incase you change to an LCD monitor and want to play at 1920x1080 (psu can remain at 400w here, 750/750ti usually don't even require additional 6-pin pcie power connector).

Iirc memory clock at 2000 attainable with samsung memory. edit - just saw your post.. memory at 3501 .. okay so that's 1750.5 mhz. regardless of mem type (samsung/hynix/elpida) i think you can get a bit more aggressive on the mem OC.
