Re: Hold off on gtx 970/980?
Check out this thread - http://www.setiusa.us/showthread.php...NVidia-GTX-980
IIRC from discussions here, the 750ti is the best price/output you'll find right now. The "big one" is a bit away, but I'm sure others who know more will chime in soon...
Re: Hold off on gtx 970/980?
I've had an EVGA GTX 970 card in my Newegg shopping cart more than once... but I haven't been able to pull the trigger either. When the 750 Ti came out, they were selling for $150-$170... now they are often on sale in the $110-130 range. I'm trying to keep that in mind for the 970 and hope that by this spring they will have dropped in price and/or new Ti versions will be available.
JPM do you have any new info on GPU production?
Re: Hold off on gtx 970/980?
Here is something to keep in mind, no matter what hardware you wish to trigger on in the near future. Black Friday is not too far away!! Most of the best sale prices will be found then. So I would strongly suggest waiting till then.

Nothing really spectacular :p Nvidia is supposed to be releasing an 8GB GTX 980 in November and of course AMD is doing the same thing with a 290X, also in November. Other than that, will probably be February before anything better comes out. Just keep in mind if you're looking for Nvidia's stuff, the best bang for the buck won't be in the "big one" (with the possible exception of the 980 Ti). It'll be with what's already available. If Nvidia released the Titan II in feb., then it could be summer before the 980 Ti comes out based on the timings between releases in the 700 series.
Re: Hold off on gtx 970/980?
When the 750Ti came out, there was a rumor of a single slot version to be released at some point in the future. Or maybe I am thinking of the 750. Either way, what ever happened with that? I see one version of each with a single slot bracket, but the card itself is dual wide.

There were a couple true single-slot 750 Ti's released overseas but none here :( Here's one: http://www.techpowerup.com/204989/el...hics-card.html

And here we have an example of one of those 8GB R9-290X's i was talking about: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...37&SID=rewrite Useful for gaming at 1600p or above. Not so useful for crunching, unless you want to run 16 Einstein WUs concurrently :p
