shouldn't the headline just have been "980 and 970 launch"? who cares about maingear or any other pc builder. if they are competent they'll be using the latest hardware anyway

Yea, this is pretty obviously sponsored.
Also I don't think the writer knows what the super resolution does.
[quote]Both graphics cards also feature NVIDIA’s Super Resolution technology, which is able to deliver a 4K experience on a 1080p display, which means you won’t have to go out and buy yourself a new monitor just to enjoy the 4K goodness.[/quote]
lol ok
It's just an automated downsampling tool in Geforce Experience. If it thinks you can run 4k without losing visible frames (aka like vsync threshold) it will scale the internal res up.
"NVIDIA Cone-Traced Global Illumination"
Ha that's not going to happen unless its 4 times faster then a Titan.
The 970 is only $329??? I'm buying 2 for sure. My 670 is great but this would be a wonderful upgrade.
Wait, did I miss something? I thought Nvidia was still doing the 700 series of graphics cards. Did I totally miss out on the 800 series of cards?

800 was dedicated for mobile GPU's for some reason
time to replace my 770.
replacing my 580 with a 980 :>
lol no thanks, they're still running on 28nm process because of TSMC production delays.
The performance gain is going to be small.
I'd hold out until when they actually switch to 20nm fabrication, which is when real performance gains will happen.
Gonna wait for the 1070.
Welp, I should have waited for this instead of buying a sapphire tri-x R9 290 oc 5 months ago. But again, I couldn't have known.

Why not 1080.
