THe Gainward 970 Phantom has a boost over over 1300 MHz.

waw, i can hardly believe the TDP of these new cards, think i'll forget about the 1200w monster psu I've been eyeing. and thanks Hilbert, very interesting.

Pics look pretty sweet, and I can understand if nVidia is annoyed, but at the same time, until the specs are released, they don't look all that different than the 7xx & 6xx series for a lot of the manufacturers. Personally I prefer how MSI designed the 6xx series before swapping at the 7xx forward.

Can we expect a review of any of these cards sometime soon Hilbert? I'd especially like to see one of the Gainward Phantom.

Have to agree, I've used MSI for my last 3 or 4 GPUs until recently. Using the EVGA Hadron - really need a rear exhaust card and went with the EVGA 770 with the titan cooler.

We know there have been some slightly negative stories floating around the net recently about upcoming Nvidia hardware. We are under NDA so we can't divulge any information at all on names, dates or performance - but we can say that Nvidia fans will have a lot to be happy about - and sooner rather than later too.

i'd like to wait till 8gb versions of the new Maxwell tech, the minute a game uses +4gb it'll all be worthwhile. though i'll prolly just go x2 4gb 960 hawks yup. 😀 one at first of course then another perhaps.

MSI easily wins in the "looks" department for me, we'll see how good the new cooler performs. Also, please enlighten me, what does AIB stand for? I use to call these cards aftermarket, but I don't think that's correct either. :O

Asus and Zotac look awful, the MSi looks great, like the 2 tone on the shroud.

I've been waiting for ages to see this 970 - it better be worth the wait.. When's that embargo over again? Few days?

It's Friday, Friday everybody get down on Friday. So as you can tell the NDA lifts this Friday. HH has been stroking these 9xx cards now for a while and already knows all the gory details, not sure if he has the reviews ready for friday but my guess would be of course he does. I'm hoping they do a 8gb 960 as i will prolly go for 2 of those with my new intel system which i haven't even got yet. I have a bag of sand saved so far. 1200£ @ payday 27th. Can't wait finally getting rid of my 965 🙂

Alleged 970 bench,

It's almost two times my card, i think i had around 2500 points on extreme. I must do it again to make sure. If price rumors are true , this is my next card for sure

mine gtx 780 did 4774 on extreme at 1ghz,so it doesnt look to be much of a upgrade for me so far. i wonder what the 980 will do
