...only 2048 Cuda cores !!!,i knew it was supose to be 3000+....?correct me if i am wrong :banana:

BLEH!

So slower but more efficient than the 780...

you folks don't get it clearly, anyways the 780ti classified killer has arrived. got compute?

Haha, it's not slower than the 780! Looking forward to the reviews on these, Firestrike benchmarks put 980's slightly above 780ti, but I'd be interested to see if that stack up to game performance too - I reckon 780ti & 980 will be about equal for actual gaming performance (Firestrike favours Maxwell).

Wait for the official reviews and benchmarks. Those "just" 2k cuda cores might perform as good as 2500 of the Kepler cores at same clocks. Also, the Maxwells clock higher out of the box, so possibly overclock better than Keplers. Just wait and see, during the next days we will surely know if the 980 is merely a refresh, or if it brings some performance gains too, besides lower power consumption and heat.

it'll be slower than -Tj-'s. 😀 hehe

LOL...GTX 980 is faster then a 780Ti.

I guess he has a monster overclock!

no, but a 384-bit bus or something. no idea what it is.

His card will be slower then a 970...and cheaper.

You've lost me, a 780 is a 780, you can only overclock it, memory bus specs stay the same.

Although the performance increase isn't as big as people have hoped, you have to admit that the 165W TDP is pretty damn amazing.

have you seen the compute benchmarks yet?

That's probably about an inside joke there 😉 Well compute should be better on the maxwells than on the keplers, no?

Seems like the 780ti is still the best in raw performance. Except maybe the 4GB vRam. (lol)

Upgrading 780SLI to 970SLI ? What you think guys?

One thing that puzzles me is the memory bandwidth...the GTX 980 has 33% less bandwidth than the GTX 780 Ti: 224 vs. 336. Is that correct? Doesn't memory bandwidth determine how well a graphics card handles higher resolutions and/or anti-aliasing? If so then it looks like the GTX 980 is going to come up short in that department... :3eyes:

single 980 now, another laters perhaps.
