If they would have come clean in the first place, I am sure all of us would not even have an issue to begin with. From my personal point of view; small issue made big. And biasalah, people sometimes still carry this mob mentality with them. Don't fully understand the issue, just jump in and join the bandwagon. Awhile ago all everyone so happily praising the 970, suddenly with this RAM-gate fiasco, all cry foul. You can see for yourself, some of those that complain in our forum are those that read from forums/websites and don't even have this dreaded 970 to begin with. I for one hardly have any issue with this 970 playing on 1080p. Most (if not all) of my games are optimized by Geforce Experience. Even with a fully enabled fast memory buffer of 4GB on the 970, I doubt it would have made much of an impact on higher resolutions (particularly 4K). To churn out such amount of pixels would require significant GPU processing power, not just memory buffer alone. Suddenly, all wanna jump ship and go for 290X with humongous 8GB VRAM, as if that would really made much of a difference.

Thanks guys! Will wait then... 

Money is subjective bro. When a 970 can be gotten for RM1.3k new and the cheapest 980 is RM1.9k, that's RM600 worth of difference. 7-10 extra frames isn't worth RM600 IMHO.The 980 will also have better frametimes at over 3.5GB VRAM usage, but again... it's not RM600 better.

Phew! 980 is different league bro.. If I have the moolah, definitely will go for 980! right now limited to options of 970.. 

y must take asus? leadtek gtx 980 hurricane RM1999

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.

if they accepted, pls kindly inform me. 

No, 780 launched at RM2k+ as well. But the 780 was much faster than the 770, where the 980 vs 970 delta is closer.
Of course I'm being cheap and wished the 980 just took over the 780's price point when it launched.

anybody knows if it is possible to use 4K resolution with DSR on a 24" TV with a resolution of 1360x768?
if thats possible i might just use my grandma's TV instead of a new monitor. i'm using a single GTX 970 now

what model/brands ?

It kills both Titan X and 980 lol

Yea.. Have to spend at least 1/2 yrs or more. Then straight go for 4k !!

again depends what ure gaming at

Reality Check

Truth to be told

980ti/Titan X Sli Maxed out gaming.

@1080p Min 100fps
@1440p min 60fps
@4k min 30fps

980 is like the in-between card.

Titan X now kindda pointless. New games are actually managing VRAM much better 5gb is the sweet spot

My Zotac 980TI AMP XTREME will be here in 2 weeks
and GALAX HOF in 3 weeks to 1 month

SLI!!!!

let nvidia take ur $ if u got that budget y not. if i were u, just stick with GTX 980 b'cos of poor people. 

if u bought it can u test for me whether it really hit 6GB vram?? so far i didn't see anyone hit above 5.7GB vram if no mistake

Ready to be amp extremed x 2

Think this are the few batch retail units sold in the world.

Catch it on the 11th.



Go grab

My first non ref from them

Insanely huge but lighter than matrix 780ti
