Hi everyone!
Thanks for voting. I am going to be closing this poll as it is unlikely that we will be able to offer graphics cards to the community because they are low margin products and it is unlikely we would be able to get a better price than what you find at existing online retailers. Thank you for voting and I'll make sure to continue sourcing other community identified products!
I run 3 of the gigabyte gtx 970 G1s in my main rig, and they have been flawless, so anyone looking for a great price/performance card, I can't recommend it highly enough. Though as has been said here the Ti looks even better value, if your wallet can stretch to it. So maybe worth a wait ?
so this drop might have a serious issue with commitment since the release of the GTX 980 ti its price versus performance ratio is on par with GTX 970 with I voted for too but since the 980 ti came out I would much rather commit to it. Although maybe at least 400 people that committed to this will still get the 970 but I would much rather wait a month for gigabyte to release their 980 ti and do a mass drop on that
Saying "MD will never sell video cards" rather than "Card Manufacturers will never let MD sell video cards" without further clarification, I would suppose. It reads like MD made the choice either way.
Stop nitpicking. I stated the fact, which IS that MD will never sell videocards. If you read that it's MD's choice, well, that's your problem because I neither implied nor said that. If you want to add that clarification, go right ahead, but DO NOT PUT WORDS INTO MY MOUTH.
Pascal is also going to be akin to a Tock from intel, a major, drastic architecture changex hbt memory, and a die shrink. If the 970 isnt smashed by pascal, then we have a serious issue.
You are just confirming my argument and shooting your own in the foot. Who's gonna waste money on a crippled 970 which is gonna be replaced by a "smashingly" better bang for the buck Pascal in less than a year?
my brother works at EVGA. They dont even offer any kind of employee discount. He always buys from retail stores because he can get it cheaper than from EVGA.
