+Fubar512 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) The new, Maxwell-derived GeForce cards are out (at least, the first few are now in the grubby hands of the press), and they have already been benchmarked: http://videocardz.com/52166/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-gtx-970-gtx-980m-gtx-970m-3dmark-performance The amazing thing, isn't just the expected increase in performance (notice how the GTX 970 surpasses the GTX 780's score), but the fact that the 980 is able to perform 10-15% better, with a 40% lower TDP! What that means, in layman's terms, is that the 780 draws 250+ watts at max draw, while the 980 never exceeds 150 watts. Edited September 20, 2014 by Fubar512 Quote

+JediMaster Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I'll wait and see what the 970 brings to the table over my year-old 770. Quote
+MigBuster Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Pleased with my 780 - I need that much power to burn through the unoptimisation of a modded Falcon 4. Quote
