970 Geforce cards

[CSB]

Hi Guys

I saw a while ago that you could buy cards in the link below, but I thought the next step would have been 8 series GTX as the last I new the latest were 780s and the TI's etc. Are these the next gen or are they meant to be some kind of cheaper price alternative.

£323.82!!



As a note, Scan are charging a lot more for this card (Asus) than other retailers

Shop around

You can get this card for £292.28 from Amazon if you look to the right panel (You can't trust the cheapest price to be set at default anymore).

With that said, what is it with the 7 series cards i.e 780s and 780s Ti compared to these 9 cards ??? Are they meant to be next gen or is it some sideline?

970's are beastly cards. Probably best bang for buck right now....

970 and 980 are not so much a next gen card as they are a "step up" type a card.

Faster then last gen while consuming less power and generating less heat.
