Games requirements are getting higher after the new gen and having a little extra fat available for that price so you can keep going in 1080p at high settings for some years is a sweet deal for the price. I wouldn't buy a weaker and cheaper GPU simply because I would have to replace it way sooner than a 970. The only strange thing here is that I think that the 900 series can really take some market from the Titans and looking at profit margins it can be a hard deal for NVidia. |
The Titan line was a a great way to trick some ethusiastes out of their money and nothing more. Everyone has figured that out, and Nvidia knows they have. They have no problem getting rid of it at this point considering how much cheaper Maxwell is to manufacture.
I'll agree that the 970 is somewhat justifiable at 1080p considering its price, but its still kinda silly imo.
P.S. Please drop the whole "driver" montra. Me and my brother switched from Nvidia to AMD because Nvidia's drivers were so terrible (At least at the time). Neither company really has worse drivers though on average.
