GeForce GTX 980 Ti Coming This Summer Featuring GM200 GPU

[sixer9682]

Nvidia is preparing its GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card featuring the “big Maxwell” GM200 GPU for introduction this summer. Nvidia has already launched its flagship GTX Titan X graphics card, featuring a 12GB of VRAM and a fully unlocked GM200 GPU with 3072 Maxwell CUDA cores.


Thus it has been speculated for quite some time that Nvidia will follow that launch with a GTX 980 Ti introduction at a lower price point but still based on that same GM200 GPU all be it with a few CUDA cores disabled. However that’s not going to happen according to the report by our good friends from Sweden. What is going to happen is actually even better.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Coming This Summer Featuring 3072 CUDA Cores and 6GB of GDDR5
According to Sweclockers.com the card in question will actually feature the full 3072 CUDA cores and will not use a cut-down GM200 GPU. In addition the card will be clocked 10% higher than the Titan X, so it will in fact be faster. Finally the memory will be halved, down from 12GB to a more reasonable 6GB.

The 980 didn't look like it was worth purchasing as an upgrade for me, but this one might well be worth it, we'll see.

I'm likely to purchase if not too expensive.

I'm likely to purchase if not too expensive.

HAHA, I guessing $700 +

 

[sixer9682]

Hell, anything you buy with a water block is going to be $750 so I'm guessing 800 for the HC version.

I actually think I am going to wait another year or two(depending on advances) on my GPU. Will end up using thisw 780ti on my boys machine when we build it

Isn't the new AMD high end out in April / May?

 

[Chocolate_Ch3rry]

Yep, I'm just going to hold out until bf5 comes out and build a rig around the new tech at that point. Sure this thing will be nice, but with nothing new out to push it I just see it as a waste with how fast new shit comes out. Everyone with 770+ GPUs would just be pissing away $$ upgrading to anything out right now. Besides the obvious playing in higher res, but still you get my point. Just my thoughts.

Yup, the AMD 390X comes out in June which is why Nvidia is releasing the 980 TI in July.

If capable of 4K might consider. I mean I'm still running a 680GTX on my desktop PC and it takes pretty much everything I throw at it. Next upgrade I want to do a 4K display with 4K single GPU solution. Maybe I'm just up late drinking apple whiskey and eating havarti cheese.

4k with acceptable fps(60+ min) is still a few years away.
