GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 Pricing

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/16/2014 09:05 AM | source: | 43 comment(s)

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.

I think that was fudzilla. Of course the 680 was not $299 when it released lol.

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

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

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

There will never be card with Rambus' memory. Next step is stacked ram and I'm quite sure that the next gen will use stacked ram. Memory bandwidth on paper is not everything. This will be ****loads faster than GTX 580 and on top of that according to leaked tests this is computing master (much faster in direct compute).
