Sounds reasonable to me, making it widely available for the season of gaming, and the holiday sales.

Nvidia confuses me. This basically makes the Titan X irrelevant. It has the exact same specs with a higher clock, just comes with less memory. Who needs 12GB anyway?

Rich people..

Sure , I will pass this one ...waiting for pascal and a new system

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.

I will pass this one.
I'm a GAMER and My currently system right now.
i7 3930K 6 core
2- GTX 980 SLi
16GB of memory ram
2650 X 1440
Until PASCAL arrive is my next upgrade.

Good I can wait. I should have enough saves up for two and water blocks by then. My 670's have done an admirable job up till now.

Obviously they can release it much sooner than after summer since its basically the same card. They just dont want to offend Titan-x owners too soon.

So if this card isn't due till what q3 where does that leave pascal release? 2016?
TheDo114
Mid to late 2016 maybe. they still need to shrink to 20nm without any problems
Matt26LFC
Looks like I'll want a 980Ti or 390X this year then! Don't want to wait till mid next year for a GPU upgrade.
Also think they are skipping 20nm arent they? Going straight to 14 or 16nm FinFet design!?
Loophole35
The are supposedly skipping 20nm and going strait to 16nm. Maxwell may still get a die shrink too.
Denial
16nm FF+ will be at full production in July/August according to TSMC.
Latest rumors/court docs also show that Nvidia is using Samsung as a fab, but I think that might be for Tegra on 14nmFF, Samsung does have a 20nm too though.
TheDo114
Seems logical, it's been so long since 28 nm came out.
TheDo114
How long does it take usually from production to us if everything goes well?
