Nvidia to Release Second GM200-Based GeForce Card

[jmart604]

Same GPU that powers Titan X will be the focus of a new gaming-oriented card, possibly called the GTX 980 Ti or GTX 990Each card in Nvidia's GeForce GTX Titan line has been the king of the single-GPU hill at their release, and the recently-launched Titan X is no different. But if you want top-tier gaming performance and aren't a developer that needs the most pure compute power possible or don't have a massive multi-screen setup that can make use of the Titan X's 12 GB of VRAM, Nvidia's newest offering may spark your interest.

Nvidia is preparing to release a more gaming-oriented GM200-based card, with a still-generous 6 GB of VRAM, at a lower price. The GM200 is the same GPU at the heart of the Titan X. It is unclear what the card will be named, but speculation indicates that it may be branded the GTX 980 Ti or GTX 990.

Similarly to how the GTX 780 Ti compared to the Titan and Titan Black, this new yet-to-be-named card should offer gamers a Titan X-like level of performance while being lighter on the wallet.

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.

I've been hearing nothing but Nvidia lately.

I miss the AMD leaks

is this official

Repost of a repost of a repost. This has done the rumor mill a few times now mate.

 

That being said. Big ass Wut to Nvidia, why not release 6 and 12 gb variants of a card with the same name like what's done with the rest of the consumer side of the cards? They are going to essentially be the same thing and the two name thing is just confusing.

I would like to see it be called the GTX985

[deadmerc]

This is what I want.

@smackclerk A 6GB version of the Titan X is not viable, because the GTX 780 Ti's Maxwell equivalent is meant to push past the Titan Black in gaming. It's the custom PCBs and coolers that give the GTX 780 Ti a significant edge. All "Titan" branded cards (Titan, Titan Black, Titan X) are not allowed to be sold with anything other than NVTTM cooler and Nvidia's reference PCB. So a 6GB Titan X would be useless compared to a GTX 980 Ti or 990 or whatever as it would be hobbled by NVTTM.

 

EVGA sells a Titan/Titan Black ACX cooler separately, but to the best of my knowledge it has not really taken off. Time will tell if it finds newfound popularity with the Titan X, with which it might be compatible because Nvidia's reference PCB for reference GTX 770 / GTX 780 / GTX 780 Ti / Titan / Titan Black / GTX 980 is more or less the same, give or take one or two chokes and MOSFETs. That is, if the screw hole distances are the same from GK110 to GM200.

Why was a reposted thread promoted to an article?

This is sweet; however, I think I'll wait for Pascal next year. My 780 HOF edition is still doing well enough. I'll see though when I get a new QHD or UHD g-sync monitor.

With 5.5GB of usable ram.... Come one someone had to say it.

Hysterical!

im, stuck to single cards configurattions, untill new nidia´s lynk,so, wtb 980 strix 

works like a charm

[Chronizoul]

Here's the catch, only 3.5 GB of the VRAM runs out of the 6 GB. HAHA!
