Only interested if it drops prices of current GPU'sBased upon the non-price drop of the 670/680 when the 7-series came out, don't bet on it. Instead of a serious $100+ price drop of those cards, vendors just let the stock run out. I believe the biggest discount of the 680 was about $40.
With that said, I skipped the 7-series. And based upon the 180W TDP and apparently cooler operation, let alone the improved performance, I'm glad I waited.

That is some amazing power savings, chances are its still 28nm. So its probably going to drop even more in power once 20nm comes.
I'm also surprised about the performance. I'm not so well read up on the 780 and 780Ti specs but don't they have a lot more cores with more memory bandwidth? 2048 cores might be fine given higher clock rates but 256-bit bandwidth really seems to be cutting performance back too much for this level of card.

I heard it was because the 800 series was already doing good on laptops so they decided to skip it. Just seems a stupid idea to me since unless they are going to run two completely different architectures keeping the same numbering scheme helps to keep track.

What I have found out from the leaks, this use cheaper voltage regulators, cheaper memory bus... you got the point. This seems to be cheaper to produce than 780 is, so this is the economy solution. But the power usage seems to be very good, so why complain.

What is the point of this card even existing? If it performs between the 780 and 780Ti, then why doesn't nvidia just continue with those cards as the current generation and work on something that will actually be better than the current generation?
It's like a tv company making a 36" LED and a 38" LED, then making a big announcement that it is coming out with a 37" LED with the exact same features. I'm pretty sure if the 36" wasn't big enough for you, you probably bought a 38". Who want's the awkward middle child.

The difference is the new architecture is more efficient, and will likely be no more expensive than the 780. At some point, they may even make a 980ti with the new arch for a faster card than the 780ti.

Wow guys, give them a break. First of all, we don't know what the 980ti can do. Second of all, those are freaking SYNTHETIC benchmarks, so we really don't know what the 970 or 980 can do either...
And third of all, this thing went from a TDP of 250w to a TDP of 180w. Even if you're so focused the only thing you care about is benchmark numbers, that's a huge improvement, AND means far more room for overclocking.

the stats are all based on proposed synthetics of a card that so far nobody has admitted to having/benching. the things we DO know is it's going to be in the ballpark of what amounts to being an AMD R9 290x for likely less than 780 money and a TDP 60w lower. if you already got a card that's in that ballpark (290,290x,780,780Ti) this card is NOT for you. if you don't like the thermals of those AMD cards and aren't too keen on the price of the 780s, then this IS the card for you!.
RE: dgingeri = I KNOW there's an adapter for HDMI to DVI, and DP to DVI, I -don't- like adaptors. it just adds another potential point of failure and since my desktop doesn't get moved around i don't mind reaching around my case occasionally and tightening the screws when/if i need to do a tear-down. It's the principal, man! Maybe if i scrounge up another $500 on top of what it'll cost to acquire this thing I might be compelled to get a UHD/2k monitor.

This is awesome, I am gonna buy this for an upgrade when it releases.
Also I added it to the wiki page for Nvidia GPUs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics_p...
Keep an eye on it guys and edit it when more info gets released.

So basically if you already have a 780 or 780 TI this isn't worth an upgrade...It's supposed to outperform the 780 by a lot, and it's going to be close in performance to the 780Ti. Yet it will also consume much less power, and generate less heat thus allowing for higher overclocks making it worth it.
Really what this card is for, those still on Fermi or the original Keplar cards. This is going to be a worth-it as an upgrade for those users.

This is especially so considering that they put 4GB of memory on this thing (clearly it's going to be marketed as a 4K flagship... imagine if it can't do it at 60hz?)
as for Displayport 1.3, I would have said no way it's too new. but after seeing that I/O with THREE DP connectors, I don't know. maybe it's there... otherwise, just WHY?

I imagine to attract a larger base of customers who could afford these near 780ti cards. I'm glad and am considering the 980 if it's at the $500 or so pricepoint. Then I'll give my 770 to my stepson and we will both be happy. I would like to ask about that memory bus and bandwidth. The bandwidth is similar to a current 770, but can be overclocked more and more safely with Maxwell?? I don't need to really with the game I mostly play (WoW) but it would be nice to have more wiggle room with the less wattage.

So the question really is, can the memory bus make full use of 4 gigs of VRAM? I don't know, I'm really not a techy but that's what I and probably a lot of consumers are asking: "780ti performance with 3 gigs @ $600-$730 or 980 (same performance as 780ti) with 4 gigs @ $500 + runs cooler and overclocks more and more easily." So yeah, what can anyone say about full use of 4 gigs with the rest of those specs? Can a 770 4gb even fully use those 4 gigs? Cuz I do know a 780ti can fully use 3 gigs...Which is a better choice for an upgrade next week?

The article is incorrect. It's the 970 that is between the 780 and 780ti.
From another site with the leaked benchmarks:
"The sample was put through a quick run of 3DMark 11 Extreme Preset. It scored X3963 points, which if you factor in the dual-core Core i3-4130 used in the bench, puts the GTX 970 somewhere between the GTX 780 and GTX 780 Ti, in terms of performance."

To all the people dooming the GPU to epic fail, I sadly must dissapoint you. A GPU made on the mid-range GM204 with lower TDP, lower amount of cores as well as lower memory bandwidth, which will compete with a fully enabled GK110 GPU?
I'd say it's freaking amazing. Nvidia will only release the mid-range parts, just as they did with the 600-series/700-series. AMD can't dompete with their high-end parts, so why throw the ace on the table immediately? However, when AMD throw out their competitive GPUs (and they will), Nvidia will release their high-end GPUs. Just like they did with the Titan and 700-series.
It's smart marketing. Selling "half-ass" GPUs to flagship prices? Plz Nvidia, which organ do you want?

They did something similar with the 300 series.

low memory bandwidth but I think that contributes to nvidias lower power consumption. AMD dropped to 256bit on their tonga and power dropped hugely too. Still prefer the high bandwidth on the amd cards thoughThis could still be wrong couldn't it? These cards could have different specs
Memory bandwidth does not correlate to power consumption.

Jip, although the number 3 scares me when it comes to graphics cards(GT730 *shiffers), so it never bothered me then.

I see some blind Nvidia fan boys voted "Dislike" to my orginal post. But if you actually were paying attention and knew how to read, you would have seen that I too am an Nvidia owner of two GTX780s and love them. However, what I am not impressed about is the lack of (predicted) performance of the GTX980 vs. my GTX780s. At minimum, the GTX980 should provide at least a 25% improvement accross the board. The GTX780 has been out since April 2013. That's 18 months for Nvidia to improve upon the Kepler performance with it's all-new Maxwell GPUs. Evidently, 18 months wasn't long enough and the GTX980 is only a minor incremental upgrade. Very dissappointed. indeed. Dislike and hate if you want, but I'm just calling it lik I see it.

Yeah that's cool Ninja. I'm seeing you're disappointed with the time frame of releases. I see that Nvidia spent a lot of time with Maxwell and the mid - upper tiers were released first and marketed as cost savers which I'm sure much of the market such as I will appreciate. I also heard Titan II will be out before Christmas but that may just be a rumor. Nvidia is probably trying to demolish AMD on the larger market of mid level stuff. Just look at Intel Pentium G3258...it's a little monster at an affordable price. Sustainability buzzword here and will AMD be able to keep up? I'm not a fan boy either side. Just want the most reliable product for the money. So...timeline...yeah. Big biz here but tbh Nvidia's got my $ for the near future.
