280x to gtx 970 is not worth it??

Not if 970 goes for 30k. 280x now goes for 20k which can play all games @1080p comfortably and [MENTION=2221]144[/MENTION]0p aa off. At 30k 970 would be good but not good enough to justify the extra 10k over 280x.

I think GTX 970 is targeted at R9 290x while consuming lot less power as it's USP. So down the line we shall see some more maxwell cards to compete with R9 280x / 285x if Nvidia choose to replace GTX 770.

These compete thing is all bullcr@p, its basically saying that since 280x performs 100% @ 20k, we'll give you a card(960) which performs 120% at 20k, we won't give you the 970 @ 20k since it performs 160%+ for the same amount. This is true for India only, the cards go for much less in US and priced correctly, but here, the retailers fix the price, they decide the price structure, its a scam, all out. Its a price fixing scandal. There is no reason for a card to have a 30k mrp pricetag when they sell for $339 in US. The retailers(read Rashi, aditya etc) force the companies to put such high mrp on boxes. This is a true example of Oligopoly. Only online market place like flipkart will bring these guys to their knees. I sincerely hope flipkart/amazon etc bankrupt all these crooked brick and mortar stores by next 5 years, maybe then they'll understand crime doesn't pay.

GTX 970 are overpriced in indian market within the price range of 35K. Its price in US markets is just 325$ (less than 20K INR). Will the price of these cards go down in the coming months?

This card has been available from some days for ~27.5k ZOTAC GeForce GTX 970 ZT-90101-10P
Things are not always the way it should be here but at least we have a better option than r9 290 for siginificantly cheaper price.

With the 780ti being discontinued, I believe if I rma my 780ti sometime next year, I will get a 980 as a replacement :p though it is only around 10% faster and I won't notice any real world improvements.

When I checked ASUS 970, its insanely priced in indian market. In US these cards are priced at arange of 21K (when converted in INR). So in indian market it should have been priced within the range of 25K with custom and excide duty. 35K is something, that 980 should cost.

Makes no sense to buy a phased out card at 31k. GTX 980 is on average 12% faster than 780Ti. So GTX 970 should be an average yield same result as 780Ti with almost HALF the power consumption and heat. We are getting 970 for almost 27K. It makes no sense to buy a slower card that is phased out for a higher amount.
