EVGA GTX 970 Superclocked $259 @Fry's $249 if you have a Sunday promo code

Good find on a good deal. If only they had a Frys in every state, at least around me. I'm in NY and Frys has some really good deals every now and then.

I think that in 6 months time these cards will flooding the used market for $100 or so,,,,the new cards are that much better
 
Don't think I'd pay $250 for a 970 with the 1070 right around the corner, but if you need something /today/ it's not bad.
 
I've seen $250 sales quite a few months back. This is a cold deal to be honest.
 
I dunno - Back in february I got an R9 390 8gb for $257 shipped.

Sapphire Sapphire Video Card 11244-01-20G NITRO R93908GB DDR5

Seems pretty cold overall, id expect cards to be cheaper than this by now. The 970 was the same price a few months ago basically and new hardware is just upon release date

That is true but the 1070 comes in at 379 which for some is more than their budget. To each their own I suppose. ;)

379 is cheap if you are talking bang for buck. It puts a nice gap between the 970. I never did get over the 970s 3.5gb vram fiasco.

I happened to purchase a 970 before the cat was let out of the bag. It was still a good bang for the buck. But with the "fiasco", when I started playing RSS, I had to make sure that when changing the graphics settings which shows the amount of VRAM used, I stayed below 3.5GB. Also monitored VRAM usage with Asus GPU Tweak to ensure I was staying under.

$100? You're hallucinating.

Well hard to say really, the estimate might not be that far off. The pascal replacement for the GTX 950 might be out by then which new should sell in the $150-170 range new and could certainly perform fairly close to a 970. If that is the case, then $125-135 might be all the 970's are worth on the used market.
 
The real q is --> Will the 1060 sell for $250 and be faster than the 970?

970 in SLI a good idea?

I see you already have one, so I would say its not a BAD idea. The price is the key, if you can get a great deal on a new or used one, then give it a try. SLI is fun to play with and can give your system more life before full upgrade. The RAM limitations aren't going to go away in SLI though and although its significantly faster than a single card it still isn't as smooth as an equivalently powerful single GPU card.
