GeForce GTX 980 Ti Launches After Summer

Okay, so the gossip factor is high on this one, but definitely a card that you guys seem interested in. The GeForce GTX 980 Ti we mentioned last week would now launch after the Summer ..

At least that's what SweClockers claims, and yes .. they do not disclose a source for this as ide from some forum posts somewhere. The GTX 980 Ti is rumored to get 3072 Shader Cores and 6GB of GDDR5. If true then this would be an awesome release. 6GB (384-bit) is plenty enough and the GPU more than fast enough. There is one more speculation, the card would be FASTER clocked compared to the Titan X, by 10%.

So if AMD releases something upcoming summer, they know what they can expect from Nvidia. Btw being a non Titan model, board partners should be able to com up with their own designs and factory overclocks as well.

But after the Summer ... also could be just in time for Christmas ?

My guess is that they are waiting this long to sale the maximum number of Titan X. Who will want to buy a Titan X with no significant DP when you have this almost identical but cheaper card?

I'd actually say, half a year does not do that much magic in sales of the Titan X compared to a potential Ti model.

As the original Titan (02/13) was launched even before the 780 (03/13), it does not quite match Maxwell's schedule. The 780Ti was launched in 11/13, at least the difference between the Titan X and a possible Ti would work out somehow.

But still, I guess we won't see it in August or September, but October to be widely in stock.

Good, when win10 comes out, say hello to stacking vram across multiple gpu's, and I guess say good bye to titan-x, well, hopefully not

.

Waiting for reviews on this and the 390x. OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh YEAH!

Looks like a winner

If the price is cheaper than the ridiculous Titan and just as brawny, this may be the card to replace my old card. I don't see games hitting 12GB of RAM any time soon. Especially since the industry is strapped down to the most common denominator of the XBOX and PS4. It will be a long time before they start hitting 12GB and by then this card will be irrelevant anyway.

hehe yeah, my 980 SLI is also waiting on stacked VRAM

And of course, the 390X, because I guess we have a basic idea of how the Ti will perform, so it basically comes down to what AMD throws into the breach.

I was speaking of Titan X sales only because it's true they would drive sales up by releasing the TI right now. If they release both at the same time they would cut the Titan X sale by a lot. Why bother for the X, except if you want the bragging rights or need 12 GB for something specific.
