What's your current GPU Spin?

And yup, 4 GB won't be enough for 4k. But doesn't ram double up in sli? So that would be 8 GB? I am not sure about how it works in sli/crossfire.

Currently using an overclocked 670.

 

I checked on Amazon. Importing the evga 970 would cost $400 with normal shipping and $430 with faster options. You still save a bit but not really worth it.

Where does that leaves someone like me who wants to build a new rig?

 

You, you have no choice but to pick one up.

Remember Newegg said they'd start shipping stuff to India? Is that at all viable for these GPUs?

 

No.

Get whatever is best for now. That advice was for people who already have decent setups.

 

 

So vram doesn't double in sli. 4 GB won't cut it for 4k at all. The console ports will eat into that vram going ahead, even on 1440p and 1080p.

GTX 960 coming October.

 

 

 

Following the launch of its GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 graphics cards, NVIDIA announced discontinuation of three of its top-selling high-end graphics cards, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti, the GeForce GTX 780, and the GeForce GTX 770. The $549 GeForce GTX 980 cannibalizes the GTX 780 Ti and GTX 780; and is cheaper to make, with 2 billion fewer transistors, four fewer memory chips, and a lighter VRM; while the GTX 970 targets several key sub-$350 products, blasting the GTX 770 to irrelevance. NVIDIA also tweaked pricing of its GeForce GTX 760 performance-segment graphics card, which now starts at $219. The company is expected to launch its replacement, the GeForce GTX 960, some time in October, 2014.

Should be around $250-280.

[SRINI87]

and faster than 770

[CarbonCore]

 

For now,

 

GTX 980 SLI

 

 

GTX 970 SLI

 

 

Welp, will have to wait another generation for proper 4K I guess.

[SRINI87]

Pascal is going to be a Big deal

WTF with pricing here ? Nvidia 970 @ 28k . Although nvida 970 destroy amd R9 280x but i can easily get 280x for 16-17k . So is nvidia 970 worth 11k over amd 280x ?

 

Edit - So 970 is just 10% more expensive than r9 280x in US over 45% improved performance . They priced too much here , F**k this .

Hmm okay. The way you guys just put it down made it a bit for me.

Where??

 

Also this a genuine concern for me as well. Is 970 worth the asking price?

[Heaven Angel]

Yep. 2-3 more cycles and we'll have 2-way SLI for 4K. Hopefully.

Yep. Best price / performance value. Get it and you are set for long time.

R9 280 is 16-17k. (recently Big Boss purchased it)

R9 280x is 24-25k (recently sach4life purchased it)

 

R9 280x for 16-17k is lower than international price.

(unless I'm wrong with regional pricing, again)

I am pretty sure i saw that 17k price on Snapdeal/mdcomputer for r9 280x . Its currently available for 20-22k @ online and street price is lower .

[Abdulah]

 

 

 

Where??

 

 

 

Okay 16k not but you can get it for 18-19k .

[Heaven Angel]

17k is very good price. You should go for it. 22K, not so much.

[Big Boss]

Nah 280x is over 20k everywhere.

[LeonardoInventions]

 

 

Okay 16k not but you can get it for 18-19k .

 

Just saw your location, guess you're talking bout Nehru place, where exactly??

 

A bit confused now if 280x is available for that...

[SRINI87]

Which is cheaper?

Getting card from abroad or India

[Heaven Angel]

Go to Newegg / Amazon -> add GTX 970/980 to cart -> check final price.

 

It'll be same as your regional price. May be 1-2K less & no warranty.

970 comes around 24K+ from Amazon
