Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Coming This Summer Featuring 3072 CUDA Cores and 6GB of GDDR5

[dml3]

When do we expect to see an official launch date?

Supposedly this Thursday. They said end of May. May 28th is also the slated release of the NVIDIA game console so maybe that day.

But at this point I'm legitimately concerned with longevity of NVIDIA cards considering the latest fiasco surrounding the 780 TI.

What 780 Ti fiasco?

What 780 Ti fiasco?

The fact that it matches or loses to the GTX 960 in the latest games because of being gimped in the drivers. Same for the Titan Blacks suddenly being weaker than the 970 or 290X in Witcher 3.

Why do you think AMD refuses to keep up with the competition?

Peaked at 80oC so its a warm little so and so then.

It's reference, the AIB versions like the Wind force should keep that baby cool.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Those are good scores if that's a stock run.

Because they have nothing.

I don't think it is a case of they refuse to keep up, unfortunately I think it is a case of they are unable to keep up.

I mean to keep up they would have had to develop 3 brand new chips that could be used over 5 or 6 cards all in a single generation. AMD haven't done that for a long time. Cutting the R&D budget is only going to make things worse unfortunately.

Yup, it looks like Fiji is the only new architecture they have this time and if the rumours are true it's going to be super high-end only...

probably on the default fan profile. Using a custom setting should help. Likely at the expense of a bit more noise. But as mentioned, custom cooled versions like the wf, twin frozr etc should run a bit cooler and quieter.

980Ti is looking sweet, just need a decent price and I can see even more market share for nvidia.

 

[pgi947]

If they can do £550-600 a pop on ref cards I'll have a pair.

 

[setter]

Think one will do me to start with. Should be similair to sli 780 without the niggles. If skylake isn't upto much ill maybe bung in another.

Grab a TitanX you know you want to.

Setter has to consult me first, were hardware brothers, I have what he has and so on

@setter, grab a single 980Ti + a gsync monitor

Call me crazy, but I have this strong urge to get 2 980 TI's in SLI with my 144Hz 1440p RoG Swift. I have a EVGA Supernova 1000 P2 that should hopefully easily drive them fully oc'ed.

Although admittedly, I'm a little hesitant since this will be my first ever attempt at doing a multiple graphics card setup. Wondering how much strain SLI would put on my 4790K @ 4.8Ghz. I intend to utilize the fullest potential of such a setup, and I do not wish to upgrade to a 6 or 8 core.

For me to purchase these 980 TI's, I do have a few requirements.

1. No segmented VRAM, I want full 6GB pls.
2. No more then 700 euro's.
3. About equal or even slightly faster then Titan X on certain occasions (So far this seems to be the case)

I feel 6GB vram is a safe bet, by the time its not enough, we may be able to utilize stacked vram DX12 hopefully.

Consult pgi, he says single 980Ti and a ROG Swift Gsync monitor. I agree
