The first pictures of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card have been outed yesterday, the Ti model is the upcoming enthusiast class graphics card from Nvidia.

It is rumored that the GTX 980 Ti will get the tweaked GPU that the Titan X also has yet with 22 activated SMXes out of the 24 that the X has, with 128 shader processors per cluster that boils down to 2816 CUDA/Shader/Stream Cores in total. Meanwhile  a website claims that the specs in full have been released through HWBattle.

Keep in mind that the shader/cuda/stream core count states little about the ROPs in use, so there are a lot of other variables that come into play. The card would have 6 GB of graphics memory and should get a have 250W TDP, and is rumored that the release is due somewhere in the Computex time-frame.

The card has the same looks, feel and cooler as the GTX 980. There's no back-plate on this model either, which is something a lot of people had hopes for. Keep in mind that the photo shows a reference model, it is our believe that the board partners can come up with their own designs and cooling solutions as well as differently clocked SKUs.
