Good price!

 

If like me you have no idea what "9 TFLOPS" or "6.5 TFLOPS" means here's some handy comparisons
GTX 660 - 2.1 TFLOPS
GTX 680 - 3.1 TFLOPS
GTX 760 - 2.3 TFLOPS
GTX 770 - 3.2 TFLOPS
GTX 780 - 3.9 TFLOPS
GTX Titan Z - 8.1 TFLOPS (double 780 one card)
GTX 960 - 2.3 TFLOPS
GTX 970 - 3.5 TFLOPS
GTX 980 - 4.6 TFLOPS
GTX 980 Ti - 5.6 TFLOPS
GTX Titan X - 6.1 TFLOPS (just a faster 980 Ti)

So that's like, 1/3 to 1/2 the price of current gen cards at the same speed assuming this isn't just "we picked the number that reflected best on the new cards"

 

I want benchs for Assetto Corsa.

My next GPU must run AC with all settings on max, reflex, shadows, AAs, post-processing effects, everything, 1440p and 144 fps.

 

Great! Time for a upgrade when this drop's glad i held out from getting a 980

 

Impressive. Maybe it's the time to upgrade from a 670.

 

GROUNDBREAKING NEW DESIGN

Based on the multi faceted angles, I am guessing that this is a stealth card. Good luck finding one

 

the power consumption is great

 

I wish its worth upgrading my 970. I dont play that much games anymore but I wouldnt complain if they performe a lot better to a lot less cost (Who wouldnt love that? )

 

Would be great for a new PC by the end of the year. With either triple or VR. Better start saving.

 

I have a 970, a great card, but... and I want a 1080 now. But I'll wait for holiday sales at earliest as that makes more sense, need a CPU upgrade too.

 

Though nice cards, I am a bit disappointed its not on HBM yet.

 

I realize that technology will constantly evolve, increased performance with lower power consumption, so on and such.

My point of view is, how the designers of these technologies take into account the consumer. Nvidia knew they were working on this, yet still charge the insane amount of $1000 and upwards for top of the line cards! Full well knowing the fact that these cards were going to be outdated with the new pascal structure.

That tells me, Nvidia doesn't care too much for their customers. In all fairness, Titan owners should have the opportunity to upgrade for free, swap out their cards for the pascal cards. I realize it's a business and money has to be made, however cleaning out the pockets of your customer base tells me that it's not a problem for Nvidia.

I'll wait, done with that company. Let's see what Polaris architecture has to offer.

Just my opinion.

Edit: I've worked in the telecommunications industry my entire career, as a technician.

Question: If you have broadband plus programming, do you feel that the cost is justified?

IMO, it isn't. Customers wallets are being raided! Providers are charging premium prices, in most situations. Customers have little choice. The same business principals are being applied by Nvidia. Again, my opinion.

 

HBM2 isnt ready with production and is still ****ing expensive. So yea the big chips getting only HBM2.

Well nothing suprisingly. Same Story, when the 780ti got changed with 980-970.
Same pricing modell and same speedup.

If you want truth power, check 2017 again.

 

Just bend over and take it like a man. And don't forget to say thank you.
We all want to make a lot of money so we can buy nice things and be comfortable. Companies can charge high prices because you can pay for it.

 

My wallet, and sphincter, are slowly shrinking!

 

You guys keep me entertained...and I'm not paying for that fun.

Seriously though!.... At the end of the day it's about choice and timing.
The new cards seem to be Nvidia's first in a very long time, set to debut at a decent price.
Whether that remains the case (based on supply/demand) is another story.
I'm never really an early adopter, so I'll be hanging on to my GTX970 for some time to come.
It already runs AC at almost max settings....and very well.
That said...if I were looking or somebody made me the right offer on my existing card, the 1070 would be a good option.

 

I never consider the top end graphics cards. They are far too expensive. I am more interested in how much a GTX 980 will cost when the new cards become available.

 

Glad i didn't pickup a 970 last week and my patience is now rewarded w00t w00t .

 

going to be an upgrade for me, the 670 is getting a bit long in the tooth.

need something with a bit of a grunt for 4k and to last at least 3 generations god willing and all that!

 

My single 780 can't do full settings running my triple 1080p monitors. A 1070 should sort that out and be a reasonably priced card, too. I don't think 5760x1080 will require a 1080 card.
