Another overview

The real card you want is the gtx 970 which is a hell of a lot of preformance for $300

Was tempted by the 980 but it costs too much for only a 20% boost over the 970 so I going with 970. These new cards definitely puts nividia in a good spot right now and I can't wait to see what the 20nm cards are going to be like along with their future cards.

If I had 300 to piss away I'd get the 970. Think I'll just settle for Crossfired 270x's and try not to cry. :fa:

i crid alt. :spoder:

Just got my 780 in January :I oh well, I'm not gonna complain, still runs every game on Ultra. I'll pay $200 more for a 780 that I got to use for 9 months lol

......

I just got the 980 for christmas, and I have to say, I am very please with the performance and graphics compared to my 660
