GeForce GTX 980 starts listing in pricewatch engines
LOL - okay so I just performed a search on GeForce GTX 980 at geizhals.at, an EU based price-watch engine. It started listing a GeForce GTX 980 entry. Few details are listed however there are some very interesting specs listed. it confirmes that the card has 4GB graphics memory on a 256-bit bus. But here's more interesting info, the entry also lists the number of Shader processors at 2560 with 160 TMUs (texture memory units) and 64 ROPs.
The card would be dual-slot in configuration and has two 6-pin power connectors. Other then that noting is listed. There is a mistake in the listing though as it states GM104 "Maxwell" which would be GM204.
- Chip: GM104 "Maxwell"
- Memory: 4 GB GDDR5, 256bit
- Shader units / TMU / ROP: 2560/160/64
- Fab: 28nm
- Shader model 5.0
- Interface: PCIe 3.0 x16
- Slot: dual-slot
- Power: 2x 6-pins PCIe
Anyway, nothing is certain with this information. Check it here.
More news though as two Gigabyte cards, the 970 and 980 started listing at a website called Synnex.
Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming (GV_N970GI_GAMING_4GD)
NVIDIA GTX970 128*32 DDR5 256 BIT
Gigabyte GTX 980 (GV_N980D5_4GD_B)
NVIDIA GTX980 256BIT/4096MB/PCI-E 3.0/128*32 DDR5 256 BIT

If it really REALLY has 64ROPs I might be impressed, and waiting to see how it performs.

I hope they can take some voltage and sub zero cooling without soldering an as5end to it but I dought it

Have they listed the prices already? Because i can´t see them and that´s what i want to know.
BTW can we expect a review shortly Hilbert? Thanks.

Saw the other listings yesterday but the pricewatch engine is a new one... if those specs are true, /drool.....
Each maxwell core has about 2x the power efficiency and performs 35% better, confirmed per reviews and as claimed by nvidia's slides of first-gen Maxwell (750 Ti). If it really has 2560 maxwell cores it's going to be probably 25% faster than the 780 Ti.

2304 Kepler vs 2560 Maxwell. Hmm. Exactly a ninth more shader units. If this isn't at least more than a ninth faster, the 780 (with 6GB) will still be competition for it's successor, since 6GB should be nice for the moment anyway, little benefit of 8GB ver 6GB vram I'd expect.
