Overclocked, the GTX970 performs faster than a GTX780Ti. Let's just hope I don't lose the silicon lottery again (After this shitty HD7970, I really don't want that again)

Gigabyte's GTX 970s will boost to 1500mhz at stock which will be better in a lot of games. 09-19-2014, 03:18 PM
Dang, a good time to buy hardware soon, and I wont be buying hardware for two years since ill be gone lol. Guess even better stuff will be around by then. XD

Well compared to my 560 ti GTX 980 seems to have 3x the performance with similar wattage. I have a rule though not to upgrade until i see 4x increase in performance preferably with same price/wattage as my 560 ti (which would mean that unplayable games of 15fps would boost to perfectly playable 60 fps without an increase in price or power draw). It is getting close though...

Some things are wrong with what people are saying about Skyrim:
1) You don't want Skyrim to run at more than 60FPS as all the animations and physics get really wonky and it can render it unplayable. 2) Given that after my New GPU Skyrim Mods/Graphics Overhaul (which I started around the 10th February, and finished yesterday) I'm only getting 40FPS in interior cells you want something much, much faster than a GTX 770 to get silky-smooth framerates in combat in busy cells. Wait for detailed specs and benchmarks on the 960 before deeming it perfect. 3) The benchmark that was posted was clearly not using an ENB. Even though Boris has been a dick and shown he doesn't know shit about emulation when in contact with Dolphin's devs, finally giving in and using an ENB has completely eliminated almost every crash-causing problem I had in Skyrim, so he must know something. At the very least, people need to use ENB Boost. I also kind of feel that the GTX 970 4GB is going to be much better value for money than my card, and that's going to make me want one. I'm going to university in ten days, and I'm not sure wanting new GPUs is a good thing for a student to do.

What's great about these cards:
1. Maxwell has amazing energy efficiency due to a series of optimizations made at every level that have allowed them to reduce transistor count/die size without reducing performance. Twice the performance per watt of kepler. And this was done on the same 28nm lithography. 2. Maxwell is slightly faster than comparable kepler cards (5%) while maintaining that high energy efficiency. 3. 4GB of video dram. 4. Lower price. This is due to the lower die size. 5. Extremely quite due to low power consumption. 6. Tons of useful new features. DSR alone is a good reason for me to buy the 960 when it comes out. DSR, MFSA, VXGI, hardware encoder updated to support H.265 and 2.5x increase in throughput (which enables 4K capture among other things), HDMI 2.0, d3d12, and VR direct. All great features. What's not so great: 1. Performance gains are extremely minimal vs. kepler. This is because 20nm manufacturing has been delayed yet again. This time until 2015. As we all know when the lithography changes GPUs experience sudden massive gains in performance, power efficiency, and cost efficiency. A new gpu with the same price and power consumption can usually achieve double the performance by simply doubling all of the core and uncore unit counts. There is nothing either company can do to improve performance significantly on the same manufacturing process. They have to wait until 20nm is out before we see another big performance increase. So if you think this is great wait until next year when performance and energy efficiency will be doubled at the same cost. Still I am extremely impressed at what nvidia managed to pull off with 28nm manufacturing tech.
