"GEFORCE GTX 970 DIRECTCU II OC STRIX 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-EXPRESS GRAPHICS CARD WITH FREE 240GB SSD"
Virtual Reality is upon us with the likes of Oculus Rift already available and HTC Vive coming very soon. Valve have released a SteamVR benchmark which will test your system for VR Readiness, we advice customers to run this benchmark as the minimum specification to be VR Ready is a GTX 970 from camp NVIDIA. VR is a game changer for games such as Elite Dangerous, Portal 3, Flight simulator, Project cars and who knows the elusive Half Life 3 may make an appearance from Valve as being VR optimised, lets keep our fingers crossed.
Maxwell is the most advanced GPU architecture ever made, designed to be the engine of next generation gaming. Inspired by light, it was designed to solve some of the most complex lighting and graphics challenges in visual computing. For the first time, gaming GPU's can dynamically render indirect light using the new VXGI (Voxel Global Illumination technology). Scenes are significantly more lifelike as light interacts more realistically in the game environment.
The GTX 980 is the worlds fastest GPU and the GTX 970 offers the most advanced performance in its class. Each delivers 2x the performance of previous-generation card, bringing new gaming experiences to virtual reality, and ultra resolution 4k displays.
Enable the detail of 4k monitors, on a 1080P display. DSR produces smoother images by rendering a game at a high resolution, then downscaling it to the native resolution of the display using advanced filtering.
GeForce GTX 980 and 970 cards support tear-free, super-fast NVIDIA G-Sync monitor display technology including 4k. Together, these technologies provide the most immersive and competitive gaming experiences possible.
Get VR Ready with GeForce® GTX.
GeForce® GTX graphics cards provide a powerful next-generation platform for the ultimate immersive virtual reality experience. Immersive VR requires seven times the graphics processing power of traditional 3D apps and games. NVIDIA's unique set of features-such as multi-res shading-mean you get the right level of performance, image quality, and latency to ensure your VR experience is nothing short of amazing.

The lowest price of the card alone currently is £284.99 so for £24.90 (including delivery) more you get a Kingston 240GB SSD (lowest current price £54.99) and 2 new/recent games. If you don't need/want them you could sell each for £10 or more and you're in profit, thought you'd likely be able to sell them for more than that.
You could say the same for pretty much every consumer component

Its £263 here. (if you dont want the SSD, but do want the games)
This was around 291 with a free SanDisk 240 ssd on ebuyer a little while ago. Snapped it up. for those who asked, yeah it runs really quiet. actually pushes 4k30 solid in the crew wild run and FO4 with very little aa. Runs everything flawlessly in qhd with aa. Though got it running at 1440 gpu and 8000 memory.

Your 12V rail/s is/ are the most important aspect of your PSU, the more the merrier! I've an FX6300 @4.5GHZ, 16GB of Ballistix Sport (doesn't run off that rail anyway) and a HD 7870 Tahiti overclocked all in a cheapo Biostar A880GZ board and it's all rock solid thanks to an Enermax Infiniti 720W, I highly recommend those PSUs :smile:

I never said elsewhere was selling at this price but a 3.5GB full speed GDDR5 video card with no ASYNC compute for new games where an AMD 4GB 380x (£200) has been shown to be hot on its tail performance wise in new games is not a deal at this price.
You will make £50 back max after fees selling the games and SSD on if you choose to, making the GPU £260 alone.
£260 on a piece of hardware which is going to be outdated QUICKLY in typical Nvidia fashion is not a good deal.
But hey, If someone considers it a deal that's all that counts.

Pascal is coming. Latest rumours have the 10xx series announced in April and released in May/June.
Maybe worth waiting as Pascal is hyped to have ~10x the performance of Maxwell (9xx series).
MBeeching to Athonline
22 Mar 16#33
Its raw DX11/12 performance will be nowhere near that magnitude, even 50% higher frame rates would be ambitious!
I'm sure there will be some obscure hardware routines which it can hypothetically run 10x more efficiently than Maxwell.

It's a nice deal but not an amazing deal considering Dabs was offering an Asus GTX 970 OC card with these same two games and a £40 Asus headset for around £262 a few weeks ago. If it was about £280, then I would rate this hot but only tepid at £310, I'm afraid.
I just scored a pristine Zotac GTX 970 AE core edition from CEX by exchanging in some of my old Gamecube and PS4 games. Came with the original Novatech receipt too and it's only just under two months old so damn sweet deal so I'm happy.

How much did CeX want for that 970?

£255 so not great second hand selling price but considering I exchanged the whole value for some of my rare and collectible Gamecube games, and a few PS4 games and some old 360 controllers, can't argue for not having to pay a penny in cash. Not using the games and controllers any more so very happy to get something useful in return for them. This 970 is selling for £299 in most places and has a beast 1380 Mhz clock :smiley:

Don't forget the 970 was slammed for having a covertly gimped memory structure. Shady Nvidia being shady....

Yeap, i got that deal as well, cracking card to say the least, been over the moon with it, i do not have a 4k monitor, but 1080p ultra has been a joy to behold, card is simply pure quality, i sometimes have to drop back to desktop check the temps to makes sure the fans are actually running they are so good. lol

Totally agree with you sounds like a good deal if it was only 2 months old. But cex love people like you (and me!). People who cant be bothered with added hassle and will sell cheap or pay a bit more for convenience. Still though 255 for practically new card isnt bad in my book

22 Mar 16#54
Im not knocking it, but it is a 1080 card by design and i do wonder how it will perform for the oculus rift when the res is higher and the frames have to stay above 90. I think they made the 970 the recommended spec just because its popular and affordable. Hasnt the 970 got the highest percentage of users on steam compared to other cards? 980 might be more realistic for minimum spec for VR
Tyranicus66
22 Mar 16#55
I know. Just don't like the dishonesty of it. I am still on a pair of 780Ti so have not upgraded yet but team green are beginning to cheese me off. Word is they have delayed the next chip to further pressure AMD's empty bank account - the user does not seem to matter anymore.

I had that exact situation when my ASUS 670 broke 2 years into a 3 year warranty only 6 months ago. 48hrs is bull****. Took at least 2 weeks for them to send anything out and what they sent was a broken 770. The thing was physically damaged to the point it wouldn't even fit into a case or motherboard. They were very insistent on not taking it back and tried to convince me that "that's what most replacements look like". I had to fight for another week to agree on a partial refund. On sending it back it got "lost in the post"; my mistake on not posting it with insurance but i've never had anything go missing until this. I suspect they didn't want to proceed with the partial refund they agreed to and once they saw it wasn't posted with insurance just binned my claim since I couldn't prove otherwise.
I won't ever be using them again. I had a similar experience before that when I ordered a case which arrived broken and they sent me out a replacement which was also broken. OCUK gets a lot of praise but my experiences with them have been nightmares.

GPU Technology Conference Nvidia's presentation in 2014 for the announcement of Pascal (formally) and 2015 on the keynote. Mainly due to the different architecture (nvidia link). nVidia mentioned the performance gains multiple times throughout 2015.
If you consider even the GPU roadmap chart, there will be a high performance improvement between Pascal and Maxwell, much higher than there was between Kepler to Maxwell.

I play most games at 3840x2160 with my 970 I also crank up the graphics with sweetfx. Witcher 3, metal gear 5, FIFA 16 look superb maxed out. They run without any problem. I have to drop Gta5, dirt rally down to 2750 x 2048 to max them out. I don't play anything at 1080p because I can push everything I've got well above that. The 970 is a brilliant card. The divisions graphics are nowhere near as good as any of the game listed above. It also runs effortlessly maxed out 3840.

It's not a double standard. It's the same standard.
Think of it as something like this. Every once and a while, people can tolerate poor behavior and a bad attitude. Every once in a while, people might push the boat a bit too far and be slightly rude.
He shouldn't have called you that, sure, I agree. But people forgive that when it's not the status quo behavior.
This is an NVIDIA thread, people knew you'd show up and say something ridiculous, despite that the deal is actually amazing if you want the items listed.
A good price for a 970, right now, is about 250. 240GB SSD is 45. The division is 28. Farcry Primal 30.
So, if you actually want all 4 already, you are saving 353-310=43 quid.
That's a pretty good deal.
So no matter what you typed about reselling pieces, and hating on the 970, and saying it will be bad in soon, and that the 380x is 'on it's tail' on performance... All of that doesn't even matter. It's a great deal.
But then you tried to suggest that people would buy this and resell all the pieces! And further to suggest Farcry, an 240gb SSD, and The division is only worth 50 quid! Laughable man.
That's why people apply the same standard to you. You've burnt the bridge of reasonable discussion. You are expected to enter an NVIDIA thread and badmouth NVIDIA. Read the comments before yours.
You've become a bit of a constant in NVIDIA threads. We know you'll show up, without fail, and say ridiculous things like:
So, we've held you to the same standard as everyone else.
Wow Ferrari, you're getting desperate. Posting a WCCF article that itself claims is 100% rumour, meaning 100% unsubstantiated when posted on their site, just because you dislike nVidia?
Seems very pathetic and petty.
Good deal for anyone interested in this card and the freebies. Can't beat saving money on things you want :smile:

26 Mar 16#73
I'm pretty sure you are the desperate one having to reply to that post.

I have this card - performs well, but now isn't a good time to buy. The AMD RX 480 is out in a few weeks and is rumoured to be faster (or at least match) this card, and will be considerably cheaper. At least do yourself a favour and wait to see what the real performance turns out to be of that card.

So no matter what you typed about reselling pieces, and hating on the 970, and saying it will be bad in soon, and that the 380x is 'on it's tail' on performance... All of that doesn't even matter. It's a great deal.
But then you tried to suggest that people would buy this and resell all the pieces! And further to suggest Farcry, an 240gb SSD, and The division is only worth 50 quid! Laughable man.

Really not surprising, to be honest.
