So anyone know where we can score a Gigabyte gtx 980??
zotec and PNY gtx 980s are in stock on newegg

Unless you absolutely have to upgrade right now though, I'd wait. For one because the availability will improve over time and secondly because that stuff will get cheaper, especially if AMD is continuing to press for a market share for the christmas season as they are doing right now.
Yup, that does make sense.
Hello! Sorry if this has already been answered. I will be traveling from November to January and sadly I won't have access on my PC. Could I possibly run DA:I on a MacBook Pro Retina 13'' with Ιntel Iris Graphics 1536 MB, on boot camp with Windows 7? I am going crazy! Thank you in advance!
You definitely should be able to, but not at the full 2560x1600 resolution of course. You'll be able to do it with good settings at 1280x800 (and it will look great with pixel doubling); 1650x1080 might be doable as well.
If anyone is interested, NewEgg has Gigabyte G1 980 GTX's in stock as of now.
Just picked one up myself.... Ultra settings for me

So I have a really old video card - a Radeon HD 5750. And I'm interested in upgrading for DA:I, but I can't afford to shell out a ton of money. I've been looking at the GTX 750ti. Should I upgrade to this card? How will it perform with DA:I? Any advice is appreciated. Any other better cards around the same price bracket?
You can get a 970 for less then a 750Ti .... nuff said i think

It's definitely a better card... but the GTX 750Ti isn't exactly a good investment right now. How much money are you willing to spend?

What? No, you can't. You might be confusing the 750 Ti with the 780 Ti.
8GB GTX 980M in a month.
It'll be the first time I play ultra on anything

Jesus Christ can you say 2,000 dollar card? the titan z was 3000 dollars

RJTech is selling mobile 980m 8GB card for $720 (970m 6GB is $450).

That's mobile wait till you see price of desktop 1000 to 2000 tops

lol wuat??
sure, 4GB more VRAM -> more than twice as expensive. i guess they will be ~15% more expensive than the 4GB versions.
I don't think a potential 980 Ti to be more expansive than 700 bucks for reference. The new Titan is probably going to sit around a thousand bucks, but those are more akin to entry-level workstation GPUs.
The thing I'm more interested in is the 960. That one could turn out to be a price/performance monster if it really comes out with the rumored 10 SMMs (1280 CUDAs/ 80 TMUs) with 2GB VRAM @ 256-bit and probably 48 ROPs. If that performance scales anywhere near the available Maxwell GPUs, we'd probably be looking at a performance somewhere in between the GTX 770 and GTX 780 for around 250 bucks. Needlessly to say, that would. Be. AWESOME!

2GB would be a no-go, i assume (or hope, for Nvidia) it will have at least 3GB@192bit or 4GB@256bit.

2GB VRAM would be enough for a mid-end GPU, given how that would mostly just drive 1080p. And 256-bit, even with lower VRAM, would be faster than 192-bit and thus better unless you plan on playing games with very, very large textures, in which case you really should be using a stronger GPU alltogether in the first place.

imo 2GB isnt enough anymore for a GPU in this performance-range.

Well, we'll have to wait and see how it turns out. I'd certainly take stock 4GB VRAM @ 256-bit if Nvidia goes that route, but I'd personally prefer a wider memory bus over more VRAM if I absolutely had to choose. Then again, there's no one stopping the manufacturers to build and market 4GB SKUs if the reference model came with 2GB @ 256-bit and that would be better than 3GB @ 192-bit, would cost around 75 bucks more though.
The 750 Ti is one of the best bang-for-the-buck cards on the market. Can play BF4 on MED settings pretty well. On-par with the PS4 graphics processor. So for $130 you can't go wrong with it ![]()

As long as you guys exercise some caution and read thoroughly before your graphic card purchase it's all cool.
So the 8gb versions should be out in November/December :3 Edit: well according to rumors anyway. XD So if it's not true don't hurt me!
I wonder how much more they'll cost...if it's not too much more I guess I'll sell off my 4gb and buy the 8...
For those asking dual core - one of the min-specish dual core workstations I have does indeed run the game, and not too terribly. I haven't played all that far though, and I'm not sure if we'd officially support it, so your mileage may vary.
It's a Xeon 5150 2.66GHz, with an 8800GTX (512mb), 4GB RAM.
Hopefully my toaster- I mean, PC will run this game

I can't buy a new PC/Laptop rigtht now, damn expensive college

Thanks. I know the 750Ti is not the best, obviously, but I can't afford to shell out $200+ for a video card right now. If I was going to do that, I'd just buy a whole new computer. It'd be more cost effective. So I think the 750Ti is the route I will go for now, until I can afford to upgrade my entire computer in the next year or two.
