Nvidia Geforce GTX 980M Mobile Maxwell Flagship in October ?

Nvidia Geforce GTX 980M Mobile Maxwell Flagship in October ?

It looks like it that the Nvidia next gen flagship mobile GPU, the Geforce GTX 980M, will be released in October or November this year already, this would coincide with the release of the Desktop GPUs based on Maxwell. Information as posted on the NoteBook Review forums kinda confirm all this.

Basically in the upcoming month or three you will see mobile releases in the GeForce GTX series 900 of course with that 980M being the top dog mobile GPU based on Maxwell architecture. 

Currently it is fairly certain that the Maxwell based mobile GPUs will end up being named like this:

  • Geforce GT 940M
  • Geforce GTX 950M
  • Geforce GTX 960M
  • Geforce GTX 970M
  • Geforce GTX 975M
  • Geforce GTX 980M (Ships October)
Now there might be a respin or two as well in this lineup for the lower SKUs, but time will tell. Basically we have been seeing these entries in the Nvidia drivers - Added support for:

NVIDIA_DEV.137A = "NVIDIA N15M-Q3"
NVIDIA_DEV.13B3 = "NVIDIA Quadro K2200M"
NVIDIA_DEV.13D7 = "NVIDIA N16E-GX"
NVIDIA_DEV.13D8 = "NVIDIA N16E-GT"
NVIDIA_DEV.13D9 = "NVIDIA N16P-GX-B"
NVIDIA_DEV.13E4 = "NVIDIA Graphics Device ES-A"
NVIDIA_DEV.13E5 = "NVIDIA Graphics Device ES"
NVIDIA_DEV.13E7 = "NVIDIA Graphics Device"
NVIDIA_DEV.13E8 = "NVIDIA Graphics Device"
NVIDIA_DEV.13F8 = "NVIDIA N16E-Q5"
NVIDIA_DEV.13F9 = "NVIDIA N16E-Q3"
NVIDIA_DEV.13FA = "NVIDIA N16E-Q1"
NVIDIA_DEV.13FE = "NVIDIA Graphics Device"
NVIDIA_DEV.13FF = "NVIDIA Graphics Device"
NVIDIA_DEV.1617 = "NVIDIA N16E-GX"
NVIDIA_DEV.1618 = "NVIDIA N16E-GT"
NVIDIA_DEV.1619 = "NVIDIA N16E-GX-B"
NVIDIA_DEV.1638 = "NVIDIA N16E-Q5"
NVIDIA_DEV.1639 = "NVIDIA N16E-Q3"
NVIDIA_DEV.163A = "NVIDIA N16E-Q1"

N16E would be Maxwell GM204 + other cards. As to the specs, well .. time will tell.

Damn, it's not long I've had my P34G V2 with an 860M and the 9xxM cards are now close? Oh well, it's not like I need anything faster at the moment - 1080p performance is perfectly acceptable.

Just when nVidia seemed to have sorted out their naming issues they go and do this. So we'll have 800 series desktop parts and 900 series mobile parts all on the same architecture. What makes this worse is that a 960M part will be a lower clocked or even specced 860... Go explain that to the average customer.
