Product Showcase

The GeForce GTX 980 Ti takes advantage of Maxwell architecture with its GM200 based GPU, it has 8 billion transistors, 2816 active shader processor cores, and 6 GB of GDDR5, it’s quite a powerful product. In Ultra HD it can advance up-to 25 maybe 30% in performance over the GeForce GTX 980 as we found out.

The GPU empowering the product is called the A1 revision of the GM200 GPU, which is based on Maxwell architecture, but we'll talk a little more about Maxwell in the tech deep-dive on the next few pages. The GTX 980 Ti has a lovely 2816 CUDA/Shader/Stream cores and a base clock frequency of roughly 1000 MHz.

The card has a 250 Watt TDP, 75 Watts is delivered though the PCIe slot, then 75 Watts through one 6-pin connector and another 150 Watts through the 8-pin PEG (PCI Express graphics) power connector. You'll still have plenty spare for a nice overclock, we have been able to advance the boost frequency close to 1450 MHz! The card as you can see is SLI compatible up-to 4-way SLI. Our generic advice is to stick at two cards maximum for the best compatibility, scaling and experience.

3 x DisplayPort
1 x HDMI
1 x Dual-Link DVI

The display engine is capable of supporting the latest high resolution displays, including the all new 4K and 5K screens. And with HDMI 2.0 support, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti can even be used by gamers who want to game on the newest state-of-the-art big screen TVs (myself included).
