I assume these will be like the 970s and have 512MB as slow speed caching VRAM? I wonder what they will be priced at. If over $220 then it really isn't a good deal compared to AMD's offerings.

Why would you assume such a thing when the card is not even cut down?I assume these will be like the 970s and have 512MB as slow speed caching VRAM? I wonder what they will be priced at. If over $220 then it really isn't a good deal compared to AMD's offerings.

Still can't buy the damn things, and it's been a week.
I fucking hate paper launches. Usually not something Nvidia does these days.
You can buy 960s from in stock sources right now

These are just cards with more vram released by some of the card makers and not some official Nvidia release...Still can't buy the damn things, and it's been a week.

Incorrect! The whole problem with the 970's memory configuration is due to how resources were disabled going from the 980 to the 970; part of the memory bus was running at very slow speed.
These 4GB 960 cards are the same full chip as the 2GB ones, with a full 128-bit memory bus. They're just using larger memory chips.
4GB wasn't some magic number - if the 980 had been 8GB and the 970 listed the same, we'd all be making jokes about 7GB of memory instead of 3.5GB.
Really, just read some of the articles about the 970's memory issue. It's pretty clear the problem was a result of the hack-job NVIDIA did to cut a 980 into a 970, and not some magical 3.5GB barrier.

it barely beats a 660ti for Gabes sake

Will 4gb even make a difference on a 128-bit memory bus? I would imagine turning up AA settings or resolution to fill 4gb would create a stutter show with that cards fillrate, it barely beats a 660ti for Gabes sake.
lol wow. 80-90 bucks more gets you a 970 which blows the 960 away.$250 for the EVGA SSC version. No pricing for the EVGA vanilla or FTW version yet.

To give its customers more choice, EVGA has just rolled-out three brand-new GTX 960 models that pack 4GB of fast GDDR5 under-the-hood -- and no, this card doesn't suffer from the same sort of design caveat that the 970 does, so all 4GB is available, and all at the same speed.
