Nvidia has an event on 18th September, called Game24. According to rumours, Nvidia will launch the GTX900 series at this event. If the rumours are true, I would say, they should be available by mid-October or early November. 😉

Other manufacturers already teasing their GTX 900 series: 😛



Specifications and board layout seem to be as the rumours have claimed:



Interestingly that Nvidia uses an updated variant of the GTX 760 PCB. Drops the research&development costs for sure.
Curious how many models Asus will release to the market...

I would say Strix series is made for gamers, it includes many features as you can see in Asus press release like other ROG graphics cards. The Asus Strix is listed on heise.de price comparison for €620+.

You mean the reference model? Should already be out.

Strix 980s were out a little later than 970s - but should be in stores now/very shortly.
