NVIDIA Maxwell GeForce GTX 980 and GeForce GTX 970 Performance Numbers Leaked - GTX 980 15% Faster Than R9 290X, GTX 970 10% Faster Than R9 290

The wait is almost over.

IMO The performance is not upto the mark, I mean AMD Tonga will be neck to neck with this. So no real winner :/

Care to explain, also new gen amd cards coming next month.

 

[kartikoli]

Impressive results, I can't imagine 970 @350$ that will be like 350*75=26250 INR roughly. If this happen then we will see price drop for R9 series

Ready for upgrade guys

 

[Tech_Wiz]

I am eyeing that 280 & 280X for my future GFX Upgrade from existing 560Ti (Running out of Juice since I shifted to Full HD Gaming).

Hope they get some slash in price with these launches

The Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Review :Maxwell Mark 2

It's good to be back !

 

[sam_738844]

^^Even a biased (almost paid) site like that finally managed to draw a positive review line, hmm, nvidia really did good this time.

Even hardocp too, who may be in the last decade, had awarded gold award to a very very very few nvidia gpus, price cut or not

^^ It's a groundbreaking gpu design considering the performance and efficiency.
What's more astounding is the opencl compute performance. It beats 290x in compute(open-cl) handsdown.

 

[amjath]

If the prices for 970 is around 24k [770 ~@30k at launch] then I will take back my word posted above. I might go for Nvidia

 

[sam_738844]

Just saying, that everyone is entitled to their opinion and choice of products they buy, but it also should be impartial to judge the product, buying or not, by comparing its key-factors like price in a consumer space where is already inflated for no reason.

Its been half a year the prices of GTX 780, GTX 770 has been slashed ALL OVER the WORLD except India. GTX 770 has no where, NOWHERE been at that price point except India, I tell you what, GTX 970 will NOT be there with 24K tag in India, because of plane inflation, never at launch at least... and you will never switch to nvidia products here for the same reason.

Can you please elaborate?
Are Anandtech reviews bad/biased?

Nvidia bring in the mobile guns xD

some gtx 980 and gtx970 cards are already available at mdcomputers.
This one is a sweet deal at the moment.: ZOTAC GRAPHICS CARD GTX 970 4GB DDR5 (ZT-90101-10P - ZT-90101-10P - )
Takes away the vfm factor of r9 290 Tri-X

 

[sam_738844]

see see, still 29500 INR !! In what way a 329$ card gets to 30K in India I can not fathom why god

Will Indians actually switch to 970 now?

No man none of the reviews are bad or biased.
Anandtech has gone gaga over Maxwell in their reviews. All of them are positive by a great degree.

By the mobile comment they meant Nvidia's design philosophy of building from bottom to top rather than the other way i.e one architecture build for all, from mobile to desktop.The scaling proves this design trend to be true to nvidia's word. Their next tegra iteration will implement Maxwell.

Check tomshardware's review.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 And 970 Review

Maxwell has shaken the gpu market. 970 at $330 , edges 290x.
Even with mantle API, 980 maintains a big lead. With 28nm fabrication constraints, the design team has done a fabulous job.
Both the GPU's aren't power hungry and yet showcase earth shattering performance.
Open-cl performance has also improved exponentially considering 980 beating 290X.

No i will not, i will not denigrate a review site or forum just because they are swayed to a line of product, may be they are loyal or simply has a center of value in their site for that product or organization that makes it. Its same everywhere, true in other LoBs, loyalty runs everywhere, sometimes its our job to be biased to some and nitpick in other's

even the launch prices of most 399$ r9 290 here was like ~34-38k,it took some time for them to come to ~32k levels. We might see some drops in gtx 970's price here with time.
I do agree that the likes of gtx680,gtx770 were priced relatively higher than what should have been for many months here.

I guess you are referring to "AMD Center" on anandtech.That is sponsored by AMD,makes for less ads on AMD related articles at "AMD center",nothing else much.

They are a bunch of crooks, that shop has gone down the drain faster than cr@p, $339 should be max 24k incl all taxes. At least that's the markup I paid for my 280x(21k).
