Haha, no worries. On the one hand, if the MSRP is actually $550, Amazon will refund the difference (they are very good about that on pre-orders). On the other, even if the MSRP is $700, you can return the card for no charge.

Well that's good. At least he has some price protection there.

Yeah but he stated that he paid $725 for it. Now, unless Nvidia announces a $699 msrp in an hour for that thing, I'd say that's a big early pay tax over the rumored $550 price.
He got it from Amazon.
They will price match it for sure.

Quite a few at OCN ordered from Amazon too.

Maxwell is pretty damn amazing for IPC & efficiency gains over Kepler, obviously GCN is no match for it.

At this point, my next upgrade would be the next node jump, as well as 4K monitors.

The leaks have always suggested that it is going to be immediately available. It may be a soft launch though so they can burn though what's left of the 780/Ti cards.

I went to Micro Center today and inquired about future availability of the 970/980. They didn't know anything about the cards.

Yes if the price gets reduced by $200 by tomorrow I'll be asking for a rebate or returning it

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the order gets cancelled by tomorrow morning but so far everything seems go...

Oh it's go time.

FYI watching the stream on twitch works fine, its the game24 website that is wonky. I think its the chat window bugging out.

They're knocking the GTX770 down to around 200 bucks, then you get the 970 at 330. Damn AMD is going to have to price slash everything.

wow! a 970 neck and neck with a 780ti at 1440p! Also, temps look really low on the gigabyte g1 models! MSI's TF V cooler looks a little toasty

HDMI 2.0 is confirmed, as well as support via DisplayPort for resolutions up to 5120x3200. That's good to know.

4K performance is not bottlenecked on the GeForce GTX 980. For the most part it is faster than the GeForce GTX 780 Ti and Radeon R9 290X. There are some games where it will break even on performance to 780 Ti.

Surprised by this, many thought it would fall short at 4K.

Finally a GPU price war is brewing, about time. With the GTX 970 MSRP of $329 the R9 290 would need to be ~$280 to be value neutral with it given the difference in power draw.
