Hmm...295X for $1000 or 290 crossfire for $700 or GTX980SLi for $1600. No brainer. Guess we have to wait for next gen for any new performance.

How much is it? Just a rough guess,but since 780Ti's are $700ish...

Rumors say $499 which is a nice price. If these perf figures are true I'm curious how AMD responds. They might drop the 290x to $449 and 290 to $349.

Everyone wins really.

I think the speculation is 499$, with custom coolers probably extra 30-50$.

I thought the 980 was a pretty solid bet to be about $500, but time will tell I guess.

Anyways, this looks like a snooze release from Nvidia. If these performance #s are true, then this card is not a meaningful upgrade from 780/780ti/290/290x.

Looks like a decent performance upgrade over the 780Ti to me but it certainly is not going to make GK110 obsolete all the sudden. Besides, my Titans will still have 6GB memory and be a true high end card rather than a small-die GK104 redeaux...

That doesn't fall in line with their premium positions. It would be like giving fps away for free and that is rather counter to Nv philosophy?

at similar clock speeds performance looks about the same as the 780ti. though this is just one benchmark and not an actual game.

Hang on. So yesterday, they reported that it would compete with the 780. Now it's tying a 780Ti stock and beating it overclocked?

Second, 6GB VRAM? What? The flagship has 4GB and the SKU right below it has 50% more? That wouldn't happen. It would be 3GB with a gimped bus. However, based on previous generations, it's highly improbable that the 970 WON'T be 256-bit with 4GB VRAM.

Third, I'm so glad they included pictures of the cards and system! Oh, wait. The alternative is that they don't actually have the cards on hand and just appropriated the data from some other source, giving no credit in the process.

Finally, VC is the only site out there with these benches. So I'm going to call crap. This story is a farm after being fertilized and using irrigation from the sewer.
