7950 and 7970.
Whats that going to cost three times more than you paid for the GTX460?

7950 and 7970.
And I don't know what people are talking about when it comes to GTX 580 prices getting slashed? They haven't moved. The only ones that are cheap are 1.5GB GTX 580s, and when you can get a 3GB 7970 for the same price you're stupid to get the GTX 580 1.5GB.
Nvidiots united, circle jerked, and got disappointed ITT. The sweet, sweet tears of butthurt fanbois are delicious.
This entire thread started on baseless conjecture. The line of logic went something like this:
Nvidia said they are announcing something special
It must be GK104!

okay guys...shows over...no keplar, so lets move along next week and pull the trigger on 7950/7970....or GTX 580's
Or buy some Crossfire HD77xx,
I just spent the last 30 minutes looking for a good deal on HD7950. Haven't found one yet. HD7750 or HD7770 in crossfire is even looking good.
I will never attend a PDXLAN event. LAME.
Couple of GTX 580s on Newegg for around $460 after rebate. You got a link to the 7970 for that price?
Trolls can't really call people fanboys, sorry. Not that I saw any nvidia fanboys. Also, most of us research and know 1.5 is fine for anything 2560 or below, except in edge cases like bf3 at absolute Max no Aa.
You must be new to computers. Speculation is normal for new products.
Assuming 7970 is %20 faster than GTX 580, %20 of $460 is $552. You're pretty much getting the same performance per dollar now, except for the fact that the GTX 580 isn't accounting for the 200mhz overclock you're going to get out of the 7970. It's still not a good buy unless you're blinded by GK104 goggles.
Speculation, rumors, and conjecture are fine. blatantly calling people trolls when they're not trolling isn't.
It's also not really speculation when NV says they're announcing something and everyone gets together and thinks that it's Gk104. What this thread had was a lack of speculation and it started from the thread title when the original poster decided that they knew what NV was going to announce at their surprise announcement and everyone, instead of speculating upon what would be shown, all clamored for GK104 without an ounce of critical thinking.
The only people who did chime in and say that it's probably going to be a game or something were the people who aren't hardcore fanboys.
I'm not a fanboy. This computer is an AMD. My other rig is an Intel. I have an 8800GTS and 4870 sitting in a box together, being friends. Everyone in this thread who threw logic out of the window in the name of a wet hardware dream of a card that's faster than a $550 card yet costs $299 while having almost the same die size that would be magically surprise announced and demoed at some lan event most people haven't even heard of as opposed to CES or something is trolling. If you want to be mad at anyone from trolling, be mad at the OP for stringing you all along and trolling everyone into thinking an "announcement" means "gk104 is here tonight!"
Oc is never guaranteed. Also, your first line of the quote I posted is obviously meant to incite, not sure what else to say it is sir. Easy.

The prices haven't changed. The galaxy linked earlier in the thread, I was eyeing it back in July - August of last year and it was the exact same price it is now. 464$ before rebate. I remember it very well because I was about to purchase it. (but instead went with MSI lightnings)
I think EVGA did lower their 3gb prices, but 580 prices _did not_ change. Also, prices of 3gb 580s and 7970 is the same. While i'm being facetious with this comment, do you have a link to a 3gb 580 for 460$? Nope. MSRP is still 579.99 or 549.99 depending on which brand you want. I'm not sure why i'm bringing this up because i'm not praising AMD over their prices, but they're the same prices that nvidia charges
Watch out man, you're inciting rage and you're trolling. If you say anything besides Gk104 is going to be faster than 7970 and cost $299 you're trying to incite a forum fight. Also, no facts or math, only baseless conjecture. When NV says they have an announcement, assume it's kepler. Next time AMD has an announcement I'm going to assume it's the HD 8000 series, and the next time Intel has an announcement I'm going to assume it's Haswell and start a thread over all of them saying HD 8000 or Haswell is coming out.
Well, captain hindsight, nVidia was going to announce something special at PDXLAN, so with Kepler being their brand new architecture, it was a possibility. But admittedly, with the known Kepler yield issues, it was perhaps unrealistic. And by the way, no fanboy here! I've got a 5870 in my rig and with a high-end Kepler probably being months away, I'm going to get an Asus HD 7970 DirectCU II TOP now. Sadly, nVidia is late to the party again...Nvidiots united, circle jerked, and got disappointed ITT. The sweet, sweet tears of butthurt fanbois are delicious.
You really don't comprehend the difference between your posts and his? Wow.

Wooooooshhhhhhhh. Sarcasm not detected, obviously.
I never said it was a good buy, I was just calling out your idiotic statement that you can get a 3GB 7970 for the same price as a 1.5GB GTX 580.
I never said they changed, just that the 7970 is not priced the same as a 1.5GB GTX 580, in rebuttal of what sdlvk said.
Quoting for once presentation happens.
That's not what I was saying. GTX 580 is in a different price segment and if you're looking to save $90 at the cost of some performance it's not an awful buy and it's not bad at all.
Let me explain what I was saying. You get x amount of performance from a 1.5GB GTX 580 for y dollars. You get x + .2x amount of performance from a 7970 for y + .2y dollars, thus, it's not a bad deal as performance and cost increase at the same rate.
As much as a $460 7970 would be awesome it's not going to happen for a long time.

or how about another one of them kick ass MSI 448's
did you decide what you want to put here now that the presentation is over?
Emly, so it has been way over six weeks now, where is the kepler news (with cards soon to follow soon after)?
PM me with the info...
Here's the thing... I said it could happen, not would or would not. You claimed it was impossible, which was wrong since it may have ended up happening at the time. I have nothing to retract, while you would have if they'd shown Kepler.
Besides all of this nonsense, did anyone get screenshots of borderlands 2? Does it use hardware physx? I'm really exited about this game, I *really* loved borderlands 1. Anyone?
To be fair, they actually showed Fermi at a PDX lan a couple years ago....I think gtx 580 was unveiled there

they didnt release kepler today? emly, where is this big kepler announcements? i cant wait for a cool physx demo....
JHC people wake up, NV is yanking your fucking chain. Just like the mass media does, they try to sell you their agenda. In this case they want you to think something magical is just around the corner and they'll keep attempting to help you believe that message as long as it takes. Manipulating people into thinking there is something always just around the corner is the next best thing to actually having something just around the corner. They are feeding the addicts the information they crave, and get paid to do it.
I think the meaning of "fanboi" has lost it's meaning over time because of improper use.
I wish people stop using the word, sounds like teenagers picking on each other.
i agree with that. please no more of these threads until may when the gk104 comes out.

Don't like nVidia threads by nVidia customers about potential nVidia products that excite them? Don't read and/or post in the nVidia sub-forum. Pain relieved.
i really dont have anything against nvidia. i just hate 50 threads on the same topic with mostly the same info. this happens with every hardware release. how many 7970 threads were there before it released? in about 2 weeks there will be 10 new IB threads everyday.
