    Over priced cards. Waiting for AMD's new card to see what's what.

    Yeah that will be a shame if true. Previous rumour was far more exciting. Either way I need a new card asap and the only one that would be good at my resolution is the 980 (or Titan which is too much). And I don't wanna buy a 980 at that price. Maybe when AMD's comes out it will shake up the prices.

    I have a 980. I'd love to play something that actually stretches it.

    If your not gaming above 1080p a 980 is and will be for a while overkill. Even at 1440p there's few games that stretch it. 4k is a different story.

    Yeah the are rehashing the lower and mid cards but the 390 will be a new card. And probably a water cooled version too. I hope it is good, and I hope it sorts out the prices of nVidias cards.

    Don't see how any card pre water cooled can be cheap. Most pre water cooled gpus are about £200 above the standard card.

    Anyone but me wonder why it's pre water cooled.

    Well it's certainly cheaper than the Titan X but do we know if it's cheaper than a GTX 980Ti?
    I thought the 980Ti has yet to be released or the price announced.

    I assumed it was just an option for a high overclock version and there would be normal fan cooling too.
