First GeForce GTX 980 Ti Pictures hit the web
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.
Photo's and screenshots are courtesy of the respective owner.

It will be a shame if they gimp the top end Maxwell for the 980TI unlike they did with the 780TI. I'm not as keen on getting a 980TI now.
Then again I was pissed off when the 780TI came out having bought Titan. FFS you can't please some ppl!

Yah, not pissing off Titan X owners is going to be a far bigger priority now than when the original Titan was released.
Back then, Nvidia had no prior experience of whether gamers would fork out a g-note for a gaming GPU but now that they know people will, there is no way they will poison that market by releasing a faster card so soon after the TX release.
Having said that, my guess is that the 980Ti and TX will trade blows pretty closely, and unless one absolutely needs 12GB, there won't be much in it.
Not sure I believe the $699 USD price tag especially with AMD rumored to be debuting the 390X at $849 USD.
As always, time will tell.

And you still have it wrong. So once more, spoon fed this time, but not for free anyway.
gddr5 chips have 32 bit connection.
Card is supposed to have 6GB vram and 384bit bus.
That means 12 gddr5 chips. 6GB / 12 = 0.5GB = 512MB per chip.
So try to look at your 768MB cut off and decide which chips will be 256MB, which 512MB and which will be 1GB to actually make that config.
Then look on how much you actually cripple card with such memory configuration even if you do not disable anything at all (just by using together 256/512/1024MB chips).
And finally look at presumed performance which looks pretty close to Titan X.
Yeah. That's what I said.
You people often take offense without thinking. He was probably referring to the last picture posted in the article, where 2 of those clusters are disabled. Considering a 384-bit wide memory bus, this indeed indicates the fact that the card could be 5376MB + 768MB (for a total of 6144MB), just like the 970 is 3584 + 512 (total 4096).
EDIT: I believe there's a different number of clusters disabled on the 970, so my calculations could be off by quite a bit. But take them as a hypothetical example.
In light of this, considering the percentage of the stuff disabled in the graph posted in the article (i dont understand everything that's going on there), it would probably be 5.5+0.5 instead of what I said.
Now it's safe to say that yes, my theory was quite wrongly thought and it wouldn't make a lot of sense now that I thoroughly think about it :-?. It _would_ indeed handicap the card quite severely.

So what do we get 5 gigs + a 1 GB mini drive for storing screenshots? I can't trust these guys anymore, willing to lie to their own loyal customers.
