AMD reveals new cards, Nvidia drops the price of the 980 in response. Win / win!
That would be badass!!!
It has happened before. It can happen again!

Nvidia drops the price

Since his comment tags @nvidiageforce and @amdradeon it's almost a sure thing that we will be seeing a new high end GPU in 4 more days from #teamred
I prefer nvidia myself, but i'd like nothing more than to see some new chip from amd wipe the floor with gtx 980 and get this shit back on track. Just to put an end to this midrange first bullshit. Well, one can dream...
Did NVIDIA not drop the price of the 780 by $150? Did they not just drop the price on the 760? Like, two days ago "just"?Nvidia.sh: Syntax error in function price(), line 1: unknown keyword `drops'
NVIDIA? I don't think so. But retailers dropped the price on certain models of 780Ti to clear stock before the 980 was released.Did NVIDIA not drop the price of the 780 by $150? Did they not just drop the price on the 760? Like, two days ago "just"?
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7465/...-gtx-780770-price-cuts-gtx-780-ti-launch-dateFirst and foremost, both GeForce GTX 780 and GeForce GTX 770 are getting price cuts, effective tomorrow (October 29th). GTX 780 will be reduced by $150 to $499, and meanwhile GTX 770 will be getting smaller $70 trim, bringing the price of that card down to $329.
http://www.techpowerup.com/mobile/2...-ti-gtx-780-gtx-770-cuts-gtx-760-pricing.htmlNVIDIA also tweaked pricing of its GeForce GTX 760 performance-segment graphics card, which now starts at $219.

what's the point of the cards with an 8 pin connector when even at max power limit they can't come anywhere close to using that much power?
LOL Goldentiger remember when the leak had a supposedly overclocked GTX 980 scoring much less showing only better than 86% of the results
I wouldn't blame them. As that article points out they have been burned by this situation twice in recent history by both NVIDIA and AMD.Didn't see anybody talking about this article yet today..

Since it looks like tomorrow aint shit for AMD, Any clue when the MSI 980 G4 gaming video card coming out?
Not interested in just a normal stock 980 with a fake titan cooler on it.
Don't blame them, we all know something more is coming as GM200 ship manifests of A1 samples started floating around dated a few months after the GM204 ones. I would be utterly unsurprised to see an even bigger maxwell 2.0 in mid-late January or early February. Granted, however, that's another 4-5 months yet and it will surely be even pricier.

Lol, it was known amd wasn't going to announce anything radeon related (new cards). Just some random tidbit that was hyped up by the internet.
2 weeks at the earliest for custom 980's. The 980 classified might get released early oct to mid october.
Why are you so dismissive of the "fake titan cooler"? Has anyone does a test comparing the two as far as heat removal capability versus fan speed and noise? I can't imagine one big heat pipe is that much more effective than three smaller ones. Keep in mind the Titan has a 52% higher TDP than the 980.Not interested in just a normal stock 980 with a fake titan cooler on it.

Now, the publication mentions that the professional and gaming equivalents will release together and there is a chance that Nvidia will keep the GM200 GPU for the professional space only. In such a case a Geforce GTX 990″ is expected rocking two GM204 Cores.
That doesn't answer my question as to how much worse the 980 cooler is. It's different, yes, but we don't have any data to quantify it. You can't just dismiss it as terrible without something to back it up.http://www.anandtech.com/show/8526/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-review/8
However in one of the only major deviations from the earlier GTX Titan cooler, at the base NVIDIA has dropped the vapor chamber design for a simpler (and admittedly less effective) heatpipe design that uses a trio of heatpipes to transfer heat from the GPU to the heatsink. In the case of the GTX Titan and other GK110 cards a vapor chamber was deemed necessary due to the GPUs 250W TDP, but with GM204s much lower 165W TDP, the advanced performance of the vapor chamber should not be necessary. We would of course like to see a vapor chamber here anyhow, but we admittedly cant fault NVIDIA for going without it on such a low TDP part
I would of gladly paid more for a full Titan heatsink, Just my 0.02c.
It is nothing more than the reference card with slightly higher clocks that you could easily achieve yourself.Is there some review of the evga superclocked?
I'm curious to see how much it improves over the reference card.
I know that the improvement is minimal but is there a reviews with this card?
