NVIDIA Readying G​M200-based GeForce GTX 980 Ti

 

NVIDIA is preparing its second GeForce graphics card based on its 28 nm GM200 silicon, which powers the $1,000 GTX TITAN-X. There are several rumors surrounding what NVIDIA could name the card. Some sources suggest NVIDIA could name it the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, while others point at names such as the GTX 990 (to set it sufficiently apart from the smaller GM204-based GTX 980). 

The SweClockers report that sides with GTX 980 Ti for the name, mentions that the card could feature the chip's full complement of 3,072 CUDA cores, but feature 6 GB of memory, compared to 12 GB on the GTX TITAN-X. The memory bus width will stay at 384-bit. NVIDIA could allow its add-in card (AIC) partners to come up with custom-design cards, and so we could expect some cards with meaty cooling solutions (that keep the chip away from its 84°C temperature-throttle), and factory-overclocked speeds, to make the GTX 980 Ti even faster than the GTX TITAN-X. NVIDIA could time its launch with AMD's launch of the Radeon R9 390X.

Won't be a 980 Ti.  Ti is always unlocked.  980 is as unlocked as it ever will be.

oh god, where is that SLSMS guy?

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

i agree (saw this statement here quite a lot of times) but i though i'll still post it here since its kinda news/rumor :P

 

actually it was posted before, but I don't know why it was moved to the "Graphics Cards" section...

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/335673-rumor-geforce-gtx-980-ti-arrive-after-the-summer/

i was surprised when i couldnt find any thread related to this in tech news thread :P

GM200 is already supposed to be unlocked. The x000 name in quadro cards is supposed to mean fully unlocked. The M6000 shares the same core count as Titan X. So Titan X is a fully unlocked chip in Nvidias own naming strategy. Yet it is rumored to not be and they take double floating point precision out of the Titan lineup.

 

Nvidia is basically just playing about now to see how much money they can get out of you by hyping product launches the actually mean zero to fuck all in real terms and all ya'll are falling for this shit.

And for marketing purposes, they will have to rename their whole lineup to accomodate cut down GM200?  Hell no they won't.  GM200 is a full 30-50% faster than GM204, you're not gonna release 1 extreme high end performance as a 980Ti and then the 980 a full 30-50% behind in performance in a completely different chip.

For obvious reasons everyone with a brain will shout until they are blue in the face, Nvidia cannot call this new GPU the 980 TI nor the 990. If this mythical GPU truely does exist it will likely be called the GTX 985. Everyone needs to chill with this impossible 980 TI crap.

I'm gonna buy both since I got a nice job ! Or not since my girlfriend drains my bank account...

This is just Nvidia undercutting their own sales of Titan X. Although, the prospect of allowing board partners to design custom coolers for a rumoured "980 Ti" is attractive.

 

If people wanted the flagship card, they would buy the Titan X and pay its high price tag. If they weren't prepared to pay that much but still want a high performance card they would get the significantly cheaper 980, which still has an adequate 4GB of VRAM. That's how Nvidia's card line-up works. This new 980 Ti seems like it wouldn't really fit into their standard conventions.

Why would they not do a cut down GM200 to fit in between the 980 and Titan X and call it the 980Ti? I don't get why people keep saying there won't be a 980Ti. There very well could be.

Said this in the other thread already but the rumored 980ti is also something like 10% faster than the Titan X... so if it really does exist (which makes no sense) then Nvidia would either have stuffed even MOAR CORES on the GM200 or they're simply selling an overclocked Titan X. Neither makes sense.

 

Where would such a card fall in the price hierarchy? It would render the Titan X completely useless unless you really needed the extra 6GB of VRAM. We all knew the original Titan wasn't a fully unlocked GK110. 

 

I'm not saying Nvidia can't do an even bigger GM200 as a 980ti (although that means they've hidden the fact that GM200 isn't currently 100% unlocked - which I doubt). And then release a Titan X Black with the same number of cores. But that would be the silliest thing I've seen in a while. Especially since the 980 would be GM204 and the 980ti would be GM200.

It wont be called 980ti

I hate it so god damn much when people say that.

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

GM202 with 2560 Maxwell cores? ~25% faster than a GTX980 clock for clock with 2GB extra VRAM over a 384bit bus?

 

Then it wouldn't be faster than the Titan X as the rumors state. But it's possible. Certainly makes more sense than an ever bigger Maxwell chip.

It won't be a 980 Ti.

 

It will, if anything, be a 1080 Ti. 

The 980 already has a big, unlocked chip. The Titan X already has a big, unlocked chip. Why would Nvidia roll out another GM2xx chip for a single 980 Ti? 

They're gonna save that core for the next run of cards, if even that. Pascal shows up next year so who is to say that Nvidia doesn't just sit on their ass and do nothing till then?

I don't see any reason why they could not call it the 980ti. Sure it might break any kind of pattern that they have going with naming vs chip specs but who really cares about that. I would not expect it any time soon though because Nvidia will want to milk titan x for as long as possible.

Won't be a 980 Ti.  Ti is always unlocked.  980 is as unlocked as it ever will be.

 

Tell that to the GTX 660 Ti, which had the most cut-down version of GK104.

Not always, the GTX 660 was a full GK106 and 660Ti was a cut down GK104, and the 560Ti 448 core was a cut down GF110. They could call it GTX 980Ti 3072 core, in reality it probably will be GTX 980Ti because all marketing cares about is how easy for the consumers to tell where a product belongs in Nvidia's catalog, i.e. 980Ti > 980.

It's just a name, it's mostly marketing, the only X80 Ti before was the 780 Ti, there isn't a tradition that says a Ti is a fully unlocked core, they can name it whatever makes sense for them. I don't think they ever planned to release something between the 980 and Titan X, if they do release one, it will be a reaction to the new AMD lineup.

Yeah a GTX 980 Ti would make a lot of sense as a response to upcoming AMD cards. It allows Nvidia to keep charging insane amounts of money for the Titan X, while still having a realistically priced competitor for eg. an R9 390/390X. So what I'd find most surprising here is if Nvidia releases a GTX 980 Ti before AMD releases their 300 series. Then Nvidia would mostly be cannibalizing its Titan X sales.
