Looks like I chose a great time to get a 770 :suicide:
[QUOTE=Raidyr;46077117]Looks like I chose a great time to get a 770 :suicide:[/QUOTE]
I just bought a 770 like a month ago and I wouldn't sweat it, still a pretty decent card
My 970 came the other day, I'm absolutely in love with the 27c idle temps with the fans not spinning
Bought a 780 ti half a year ago for £450. Not unhappy but I'd like it if they lowered the price of them so I could get another to SLI.
I got a 770 at the start of the year, I don't plan on upgrading for awhile.
Is it worth upgrading from an 680 to a 980?
Also could i still use my 680 as a dedicated PhysX?
Last I checked, there's absolutely no point in having a dedicated physx card
I bought three 980s for my upcoming build :dance:
So, you spent 1500+ on 3 cards?
I'm just going to wait and see the 980ti or the next in the Titan line before considering to purchase any new cards.

They are discontinuing the 770, 780 and 780 Ti immediately iirc. The price of the 760 got lowered though.
Omg, GTX970 has an incredible performance and is also not expensive at all.
Btw, I'm looking forward to these new rendering features Nvidia might add soon (VXGI and the other AA techiniques).
Too bad I just bought a 760 in the beggining of the year, so i'm not sure if i'll get a new one any time soon.

Still not worth buying. They're still using 28nm fabrication because of TSMC delays.
Real performance gains will come next year with the introduction of 20nm Maxwell cards.

We already did this in the cipwicket thread.
This is tempting. Usually I go AMD, but if they're really putting out this much power for a reasonable price, I might have to make an exception next time I build a rig.
funny, i thought radeon cards are currently better right now
am i missing something here? or is this the announcement of the new nvidia card? i'm kinda oblivious to these kinds of stuff
I've seen benchmarks that my 680 is about on par with the new 980. And now this anand tech article says that it's roughly double the framerates. What am I to believe?!

This site is pretty accurate

"Week in Tech:[B] Nvidia’s [U]New[/U] GPUs[/B] Are Stupidly Good"
They just announced and released the 970/980 last week, which are there first high-end Maxwell (their new GPU architecture, which they update every 2 series, similar to Intel's tick-tock cycle) GPUs. The article has all these details (along with, as I pointed out above) the title, so try reading them first?
From what i hear at my university (I work IT in the software engineering department, which has more than a few interns and coworkers affiliated with nvidia), these cards are literally the low end of the performers for maxwell, the stronger cards are coming out in 1H 2015. They're supposed to actually potentially double the performance of a 780TI, if all the cores are unlocked in the new one. Those cards are also supposed to see the possible first 6GB release of a GPU.
Now i don't know if it's entirely true, but i think the coworkers were messing with the Nvidia interns.
Shit, I'd sell my 760 to pick one of those 970s for $300-$320. Too bad here they'll probably cost aroud $450

If you exclude Titan's, unless you meant something else.

I think what they meant is first series cards to support 6gb.

Just looked at the 970 compared to my piddling 560Ti.
Looks like next month is the time for an upgrade...
I picked up a 770 last month, but still had time to return it and get a 970, which I'm pretty happy with so far.
Nothing is really taxing games to an extent where these cards are useful at the minute, so It's not that big of an issue if you just bought a 770.

Unless you're using graphical mods or ENBs and want to have a 60+ FPS framerate, then you can never go wrong with more power

But yeah, you shouldn't upgrade from a 770, maybe when the next generation comes out.
NVidia have done it again.
