    Could you please share with us the laptops you saw with the 965M?

    Gigabyte will support it on most of their gaming notebooks I believe, including the AORUS line. MSI will have GE62/GE72 coming with the GPU this quarter, and I think we'll see it as an option on some of their existing notebooks as well. Clevo can certainly support it, and I think Acer had it in at least some of their V Nitro offerings. Basically, anywhere we've already seen GTX 970M could easily add 965M as a lower spec option.

    You have an AMD portal but no NV one. You're surprised they don't think of you guys first? ;) You were surprised when they didn't send you guys a cake for shield? Really? I'd be surprised if you're even in their address books at this point...LOL. Now that Ryan is running things (mr. AMD), none of this should be surprising at all. I'm still waiting for 1440p to become the norm Ryan...ROFL. We're a few years after the 660ti article and I still don't see it in steam surveys etc.

    Quit pushing AMD and NV might remember you guys. You tested a BETA Nexus9, that was receiving updates during review. How about testing it again to give a REAL review now that google has patched the OS a bit and you should have better NV drivers by now also for that OS (not beta anyway by now). Two different topics here, but you get the point. They step back and look at how their stuff is tested, compared etc and think to themselves "let them buy our stuff if they want to review it". I would do the same ;)

    You know.. at times I really do respect your opinion but your comment today simply comes off as fanboyism. I suspect that Nvidia not having a portal has more to do with decisions they made rather than Anandtech but whatever. As to bias? Pfft.

    Good lord, someone needs to take a reality pill.

    The AMD portal is gone on my screen. It was obviously a sponsorship deal set-up by the third party agency that (used to?) handle Anandtech's ads and has no bearing whatsoever on what the writers produce. Anand has explained why he handed off sponsorship and advertising to a third party many times in the past.

    None of the press were briefed on GTX 965M, so it's not a snub from NVIDIA.

    Oh and as for Ryan's AMD bias. Guess what - it's all in your head. Go read the R9 290 review if you think he panders to the red corner. The reference 290 had tons of power but had a horrible, loud and ineffective cooler design and he told it like it was - and got tons of unwarranted shit in the comments for doing so.

    Thanks, but how about some news regarding the desktop 960 that is rumoured to launch in 15 january?
  • JarredWalton - Friday, January 9, 2015 - link

    If desktop 960 is launching on January 15, I can assure you that we're professional enough to not comment on something that's under NDA.

    I hate NDA's, they should let us know ASAP, it affects our buying decisions.

    You can get all carried away in the complexities of running a business, but bottom line, if you give a shit about your customers you'll think about their happiness BEFORE your profits. Then guess what, because you stopped trying to dictate economic activity your profits go UP! It's so very simple and yet so very secret, apparently.

    The NDA is in place precisely because it affects buying decisions.

    Being told something better/faster/cheaper is arriving soon leads people to hold off on buying today. Even more so when there's a definitive date. If you do that too often as a company, eventually you have no current sales, and thus have no money with which to actually develop and deliver that better/faster/cheaper product, and then you're out of business.

    More importantly -- probably much more importantly in a two-horse race such as this -- you lose the first-mover advantage against your competitor. In a market such as graphics cards, knowing what's coming makes it easy for the competitor to drop the price on an existing product and grab many of your prospective sales before you have a chance to launch.

    Everybody knows there'll be something newer released tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. There always is.

    Personally I'm more angered by announcements of things that are unobtanium for months to come.
  • OrphanageExplosion - Saturday, January 10, 2015 - link

    So if there is no NDA, you are free to tell us?
  • Hrel - Friday, January 9, 2015 - link

    Yeah yeah, where's GTX960 on the desktop? I need my affordable Maxwell based GPU!
  • BTshuffle - Monday, January 12, 2015 - link

    Actually, they have specified the VRAM as "up to 3gb" Also in the notebook pricing is available, hence the MSI GE62.
  • iAPX - Monday, January 12, 2015 - link

    Question is, have you the right to tell us there's no NDA about a GTX 960? ;)

    Think this is *NOT* covered by a NDA agreement!
  • iAPX - Monday, January 12, 2015 - link

    "We could not discuss the matter" could be a clear and simple answer that is not liable!
