MohammedSF - How Much and is there any warranty applicable - RMA right
Nvidia GTX 980 & GTX 970

I am definitely getting the GTX970. Just read some reviews and my first choice is the Gigabyte GTX970 G1 Gaming.

Then again how hard is it gonna be to get one now.

I don't give any kind of warrenty except that you'll get a brand new sealed Asus GTX 980 Strix DC2OC-4GD5
It has a 3 year warranty by Asus, so if anything went wrong "la sama7 allah" you can RMA it.
Selling price: best bid starting from 790$

Ramnesia I got the MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G -Twin Frozer V ; I rather Go with Passive Operations (until 50 to 60 degrees) compared to the massive size (31.5 cm ) of the G1 from Gigabyte. But yes generally speaking the 980 outperforms the 970 by 10-15% which does not suggest a approximately 40% price increase.
So, is it wise to go with 970 sli or just stick with one 980?

I totally agree with you on that the only advantage Gigabyte has from what i read is a higher TDP than MSI; more headroom for overclocking.Tech Guru wroteRamnesia I got the MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G -Twin Frozer V ; I rather Go with Passive Operations (until 50 to 60 degrees) compared to the massive size (31.5 cm ) of the G1 from Gigabyte.

What is more impressive is overclocking GTX 970 can reach the stock performance of a GTX 980.
Do you mind me asking where did you get the MSI cause it is my second choice.
Republic of gamers: ASUS GTX 970 STRIX DC2OC - 4GDR5 - 520$ T.T.C

By the way Windows 8.1 Pro better than 7 " if you know how to use it well" and the 970 Rocks on this build super silent coupled with a silent rig with smooth air breeze from the front and upper 20cm Fans :)

Have fun and enjoy that build :D also have fun overclocking that monster GPU.Tech Guru wroteYesterday I tested My Newly Assembled Rig coupled with an MSI GTX 970 Gaming OC

Thank You Bro , If you want a Similar Build Just Tell :)
I just want the GPU, everything i have is fine. :)

Sorry guys i do not know what is happening.
8 days later
Geforce released a new driver with DSR for Geforce 6xx series :)
I tried it with Evil Within on my Geforce 650ti boost, 4K is crazy slow, 2K is playable and I can say definitely say the graphics are better than plain 1080p, now I want a GTX 970 so I can play at 2K and 4K with all games :)
I can get one from France next month but it's more expensive than US so dunno if I don't get one via dot.com.lb from US

@vegetaleb
What's this dot.com.lb you speak of?

@AVOlio those guys ship products from the US, with certain fees, they are reliable, several persons tried them before.

Nvidia 344.48 WHQL Drivers Enables Dynamic Super Resolution ( DSR ) on Kepler and Fermi desktop GPUs. So if you're running a 400-series, 500-series, 600-series, or 700-series video card, you can now see what 4K downscaled to 1080p looks like on your monitor.
Here are some of what you will Except from the 970 (MSI GTX 970 Gaming OC) - I have been using DSR for the few couples of days:
- Keep the Smoothness of DSR Factor of 33% - By Default as Nvidia Drivers Set
- I am playing on 1440 p (2,560 x 1,440 ) down-scaled to 1080p - I enabled all DSR Factors reaching 4k (3840 X 2160) - I use Crysis 3 (Still known of the most graphically demanding games for Enthusiast Gamers ) as my reference Benchmark - With Very High and Every Thing Maxed OUT and 1x SMAA on 1440p it is pushes the 970 (OC Mode) to its knees - Outside Intense Jungle Areas Minimum FPS dips to 20-25 ; it little bit sluggish but playable since it tips 30-40 in less tense areas.
-With a Single 970 or 980 GPU Configuration ; 4K will be Out of Reach Sure if You Want to Play Every Things Maxed Out Even on Less Intense Games ; You Need to Lower to High Option and not Ultra - Example I am playing Wolfenstein: The New Order with a 4.0 X DSR Factor or 4K but on High not Ultra to Have Good FPS (30-35)
-MFAA - Multi Frame AA is not released yet simply you will have a Benefit of 4 x MSAA on the cost of 2 X MSAA - I think It will be Hardware Specific for Maxwell and not for Kepler and Fermi GPUs ; MFAA will help enabling anti-aliasing with DSR at lower impact.
-DSR (technically speaking down-scaling the 1440p to 1080p) is great ; everything is sharper and looks smoother on my 24 ich 1080p but you need a high end GPU to have enough juice to handle high Quad and Ultra HD resolutions on High and Very High Graphic Details with at Least 1x SMAA or FXAA enabled (knowing that when you play on 1440p the jaggies are reduced as if you are using 8 X MSAA on 1080p - so lowering the AA on Quad HD or Ultra HD resolutions will not very impact-able on the image fidelity. More VRAM is recommended when you push above 1080p not to have shutters in FPS and thanks the 970 comes with 4 GB DDR5 Vram by Default .
- The MSI GTX 970 Gaming OC is TRUE BEAST with it price/performance ratio ; playing Crysis 3 on Very High with 1x SMAA on 1440p with min FPS dips of 22 and max to 42 in OC mood with silent operations (Twin Frozer 5 on MSI) and playing Wolfenstein: The New Order on 4k (High Quality) is total Awesomeness. It matches the 780Ti with a price still hovering in Lebanon of USD 800-1000 ! .
Note: To Remove any Bottle-Necking Crysis is installed on 512 GB SSD (Crucial MX 100) and the CPU is i7 4790

@ironman
What kind of fees are we talking about?
And how do they operate? Is it a shipping company like borderlinx?
Could someone who has dealt with them post their experience and costs.
Thanks.
