And the costs keep on rising...

[Neillm]

I say costs when I should probably say 'indulgences'.

I may have accidentally ordered a GTX 970 yesterday. I was umming and ahhing until my better half suggested an early Christmas present...ordered 5 minutes later, before the winds changed. I may have also accidentally ordered another 8Gb of RAM at the same time but hush hush, eh?

I went for this one based on the reviews I've read:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/4gb-msi-gtx-970-gaming-twin-frozr-5-pcie-30-(x16)-7010-mhz-gddr5-gpu-1140-mhz-cores-1664-dp-dvi-hdmi

It's supposed to be nice and quiet and efficient and hopefully not cook the room like my old 570 does.

Anyway, it should be dispatched on Monday for delivery on Tuesday...just in time for a certain event to happen. Woo hoo!

It's too late now, but does anyone have any experience with this card, even with it being very new?

Lemme know what it's like.....

You lucky bastard!

It's even faster than my GTX780!...

I've got the MSI Twin Frozr GTX780, and I'm sorry to have to tell you that you've bought an excellent piece of kit....

The MSI Twin Frozr has been getting great reviews for a while now, and does exactly as you say. It's fast, quite and cool. And a few bob cheaper than some of the other brands.

Congratulations.

And, much to my surprise, I've just got a dispatch text saying delivery will be on Monday! Ossum!

It's going to be a whacking great upgrade from the ol' 570.

Thanks for the link, Diablo...interesting reading.

Nice!

Prepare for your eyes to pop!

Elite: Dangerous loves a good graphics card.

Just tried a comparison with your current card:

http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-970 ... GTX-560-Ti

Passmark scores suggest 3 times the speed...

It'll be smooth as silk and blisteringly beautiful. And I don't even think I'm exaggerating. Can't wait to here from you monday evening.

Edit: Sorry. I see you have the 570. So it'll only be twice as fast....

It's CMDR Kharma who could triple his speeds with this card.

I'll deffo keep an eye on it.......

Maybe It'll enable me to kill Fed scum 3 x as fast............
