GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 Pricing
Unconfirmed rumor sets the upcoming GeForce GTX 970 and 980 pricing at US $399 and US $599 respectively. I am tagging this as big rumor as the price difference is just too much.
Then again if you look at prices more closely, the 399 USD marker is awfully close to the GTX 780 and the 599 USD marker is rather close to the GTX 780 Ti. Well, just a couple of more days and we'll see how powerful the cards are, what new features they have and what the final pricing will be.
GeForce GTX 970 and 980 is expected to launch during the upcoming GAME24 event which starts On September 18th 2014 at 6 pm PDT.

Will absolutely smoke a 580. The 580 bandwidth is lower than a 770 980 970 960. Clock speed of 7ghz+ is faster than a 580 384bit. My 680s were about 40% faster than my 580 sli both 580s and 680s both clocked to their max.
$600 will be BAD due to GM204 = full mid-end = no ultra memory bandwidth bus!

Not to mention things like L2 cache increases and better compression. Even if 580 had the same bandwidth number as a Maxwell card the Maxwell card would still have better bandwidth performance.

I've been completely over the whole speculation thing. The specs posted this morning are better than I had anticipated, the $599 cost is still speculation, and even if it is true I don't think it's too much personally. Of course I would like it to be $499. Rumor has it that NO benchmarks for the 980 have been posted and what we have seen are actually the benchmarks for the 960 and 970, and that the 980 is actually going to be a 15-20% increase in performance over the 780ti. If all of that turns out to be true I don't know what anyone is crying about. A $499-599 780ti killer that uses much less power and with more ram.. I think too many people are looking at individual specs (the ram bus) and going nuts over it.. wait to get the whole picture.. that 384bit bus just might not be necessary.
Is it really too crazy to think that Nvidia themselves have been trolling us with false-ish info so that the actual launch event will be exciting?
Can't wait for the actual benchmarks and per game FPS performance charts to start rolling in this weekend. Any which way you slice it, this is going to be a killer upgrade from my 580's

I'm much deserved the HIGH-END (= each next-gen card is ALWAYS faster memory bandw and eg: GKxx0, GMxx0, GVxx0 (Volta chip)...).

Ok but GTX 980 can't be faster memory bandwidth than GTX 780 series.

EDIT:
GDDR5 will continue "badly" since 2010... Still no XDR?!
