GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 Pricing

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/16/2014 08:05 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.

"GTX 870 Ti" => "GTX 780 Ti" obviously

Higher prices than expected, at least for me...

Meh I wish all this rumormongering would stop and we could get some hard facts on the table.

I am also wildly curious about AMD's next offering. The 290 series is so good, but I don't need anything new so desperately that I can't wait till this new generation rolls around.

I wonder of if the price difference of 50% also relates in any way to a 50% performance increase... NOT :rolleyes:

I am betting Hilbert already has the cards being shipped to his address for a review over the weekend or may be even before the GAME24 event.......

Hope I am right

He already has the cards and has already completed his review, he is just waiting for the NDA to lift.

So that's going to be around £475-£499 (including VAT) here in the UK then for the GTX 980? Not quite the lower price point I'd been hearing about.

Besides which, I'm not sure the GTX 980 sounds like that impressive an update from my GTX 780 in all honesty based on the leaked specs. And that 256-bit memory bus...yuck!

The reviews will reveal all I'm sure but I would probably be better waiting to see what else comes along whether it be a GTX 980 Ti, a new AMD card or even the next NVIDIA GTX 1080 or whatever it will be called. It's not like there are any games out now or coming out in the six months that will demand a more powerful card, certainly not at the 1920x1200 resolution that I am more than happy to continue playing at.

Had I waited three months then I could have got the more powerful GTX 780 Ti for the same £550 price I paid for my GTX 780 and that serves as a bitter reminder that it is not always a good idea to buy the first thing that comes along...

If the 980 is going to perform anything like the 780Ti, then $600 would be bollocks because the 780Ti is about $600 right now. And the 780 (non Ti) is well over $400.

Is Nvidia turning over a new leaf? I wouldn't count on it.

Either way I'll wait to have a look at AMD's equivalent because it will obviously be cheaper.

So... the price/performance has not changed meaningfully in like what... 2.5 years?

Also, this is the full GM204 correct? That means no real Ti edition for those who care and wait.
