Swartz posted:Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I don't really give a poo poo that my 970 can only use up to 3.8gb or whatever it is. Close enough to 4gb for me. We don't know if it is actually a problem yet. The story broke Friday afternoon and wasn't instantly obviously cataclysmic and didn't came from a relatively unknown source. Until we have a statement from nvidia (probably Monday sometime) or an analysis from a trusted tech website, also likely on Monday. It's just speculation. If you have one don't return it yet and if you are buying one waiting until Monday to order won't make much difference to the delivery anyway. And no news from anyone by the end of the week is probably good news.

What would be illuminating would be if nvidia manufactured a 970 to the originally advertised specs and let the tech press benchmark it to show once and for all what the performance difference is.

What do people think of EVGA cards, this one in particular? I'm about to put together a new build and the memory issue with the 970 caused me to hold off, but the step up programme seems appealing, jumping up to a 980 or what ever else nvidia release soon sounds like a good deal. Has anyone used it? Do you think it is worth it?

Geirskogul posted:I know how to compare performance numbers, know how to spec out and budget a PSU, how to manage airflow, and I can assure you that whatever is on the market now is better than what I currently have. My problem is simple: the case I have and love can only accommodate a single slot aircooled card. I'm also in a bad internet area right now, and don't have even the few hours or megabytes of data to cross-shop, and I thought SA is a reasonable place to ask. Now that we know that crucial piece of info I would suggest a new case (my pick without knowing what's going in it would be a fractal design define r5) and an Asus or MSI GTX 970. Otherwise you are looking at an underpowered single slot card or a custom watercooled card possibly an evga kingpin with the pcie bracket dremmeled to fit.

Glass of Milk posted:Darn, a new Nvidia bundle and I just got mine a couple weeks ago. Ah well, I already have more games than I have time for anyways. The new bundle is making me seriously consider a second 970 for sli, I need to crunch the numbers vs stepping up to a 980 or possibly a 980ti. There have been hints about something dropping this week from some press.

I'm considering adding a second 970 for sli and to take advantage of the witcher and batman offer. Is it best if i buy the exact same card to pair? Or would i be better off with a blower style one?

ProfessorBooty posted:It was weird the first time I bought an LCD television. It was a large TV I could pretty much one-shoulder. Glad I spent the extra cash for it. I went with my dad and brother to pick up our new LCD tv I had them keep it aside at the store the previous week. I could have carried it home on the train if i'd realised how small and light it was.
