“Inno3D have been winning awards left, right and centre for their new 900-series cards and to celebrate Halloween I've scared myself senseless and as such I am setting a new low price-point on GeForce GTX 970 in the UK,” said Andrew “Gibbo” Gibson, a purchasing manager at Overclockers UK. “This deal is incredible and, yes, we are making practically no money by doing it. But on the upper-hand we will probably sell 1000+ units this weekend.”

- Inno3D GeForce GTX 970 OC 4GB (N97V-1SDN-M5DSX) – £239.99;

The GM204 supports the latest industry-standard application programming interfaces like DirectX 11.1, OpenGL 4.3, OpenCL 1.1 as well as a set of Nvidia’s proprietary technologies like SLI, G-Sync, voxel global illumination (VXGI), dynamic super resolution (DSR), multi-frame sampled anti-aliasing (MFAA), CUDA, PhysX, 3D Vision and so on.

KitGuru Says: If you are in the market for a GeForce GTX 900-series graphics card, it looks like it is time to buy, if you want one now and with a discount.
why ? because 8GB cards are on the horizont. 🙂
Beast pricing!
Crap… I need this but i also need my £400 for a new CPU+MoBo AND I’ve heard 8GB cards are coming soon (I know they’ll be more expensive but 8GB…)… idk what to do D:
not really,the best R9 290X’s(like the MSI R9 290X Lightning) are £319 most are sub £300 980’s are going to have to be a lot cheaper before I’d even consider them bring them to the same price as a 290X and then we’re talking till then they can’t even compete with a 290X.
NVidia has APEX technologies which I absolutely love and I hear the high end GPU’s from AMD have some serious heat issues. That’s pretty much the two reasons why I stick to NVidia
Don’t really care for Nvidia’s APEX technologies all that much and as for my R9 290X’s no heat issues at all Cards never go above 71C under full load(Powercolor PCS+OC R9 290X’s).With the Best non reference 980’s being over £200 more than my 290X’s I see no benefit in DX11 at best the 980 has 5FPS lead on my 290X’s with Mantle on my 290X’s walk all over the 980’s
honestly 8gb vram isnt going to help you unless your planning on doing dual or triple 4k displays
Might be useful if more companies go with this lazy optimization a la Ubisoft… 😉
Or if people actually start using the DSR feature on Nvidia cards to render everything in 4k then downscale..
Eh? Don’t spread bullshit information. Right now there’s no card on the market that does 4K well on ONE display.
I’m talking about pricing in comparison to other NVIDIA 9xx series cards…
A r9 290x’s preforms worse than the GTX 970 which is around £260 so your argument is invalid.
Wrong on both counts try again Nvidia numpty
I hope so
