IMPRESSIVE. price of 980 is a bit high, close to 780ti but heck it so awesome. the GTX 970 is perfect, price is write power is awesome on both of them. Maxwell is best thing in GPU that happened in a long time, and i've heard nvidia improved compute as well.

To be honest, the G1 gaming looks very nice. Looks big (lots of lovely heatspreader and fin area), three fans should be a bit quieter than two of the same sice, and it is factory overclocked like hell. I only hope Gigabyte has gone for not that agressive overclocks like with other of their overclocked cards :frown:

When are they for sale, I want one!

Nice review Hilbert,but can u tell me the price of the GTX 908 G1 card?

GTX 980: $549 / 452 EUR (ex VAT) according to his review.

G1 looks to be $630 US everywhere I've seen it.

Bring on the Titan 2 🙂

I just ordered one. Crossing my fingers that it doesn't suffer from the same vram issues the GTX780ti Windforce had..

Hilbert can you plz give me feedback to the resolution from the Displayports? Somebody claimed his 970 gaming could only output 1080p through them. Can they output 2560x1440 on the 980? I need this to connect them to my ROG Swift. Thx in advance.

Obviously 2560x1440 is supported. But you need to connect the monitor to the lowest DP connector for it to function. The other two ports then work daisy-chained for surround view modes I think. Anyway to verify, I just seated the card again and the lower DP connector works fine at Ultra HD 3840x2160 (looking at the monitor at that resolution with the GBT 980 right now). --- Update, there ... I just received my ASUS Swift as well and decided to quickly unpack and connect it for you. So you are in luck, to the left the 980 from Gigabyte, to the right the Swift you are about to get at 2560x1440 over DP. Now, name one reviewer/editor who does stuff like this for their reader-base 🙂 http://nl.guru3d.com/IMG_0254.jpg
