GTX 980 has 2048 CUDA cores, not 1920

[Bloodyvalley]

GeForce GTX 980 has 16 Streaming Multiprocessors Maxwell (SMM), which give us 2048 CUDA cores in total. For comparison, GTX 970 has only 13 SMMs (1664 CUDAs), so there’s a 384 CUDA difference between these two cards.

GeForce GTX 980 is advertised as GK104 replacement, it is much more power efficient and much more powerful than first Kepler processor.

We will cover 2nd Generation Maxwell in detail very soon. Maxwell GM204 has some very neat features for gamers.

This post was only meant to confirm there are 2048 CUDAs in 980, hence not the most detailed table below.

Stay tunned.

Also, it will feature 3 displayport connectors:

With its next-generation GeForce GTX 980 graphics card, NVIDIA has taken the initiative to help phase out DVI, the digital display connector that has had its reign since the dawn of flatscreen monitors. In its place, NVIDIA is promoting DisplayPort. A picture of the rear I/O shield of a GeForce GTX 980 graphics card reveals that the card features no less than five display connectors, a staggering three DisplayPorts, and one each of HDMI 2.0 and dual-link DVI (with analog/VGA pins for compatibility with D-Sub only monitors). The rear vent pattern has been revamped to triangles, so vents can be cut through in vacant spaces between the connectors, without compromising on the shield's structural rigidity. This pattern made its debut with the dual-GPU GeForce GTX TITAN-Z.

Hopefully it will be good

I Still don't believe it... I'm going to be really pissy till I see final specs.

[AlwaysFSX]

I haven't seen this yet so give or take the performance Maxwell should have, this'll be fuckin' fast.

[CowsGoRoar]

That'll be awesome.

 

But is no one going to point out the fact that the GEFORCE GTX logo is upside down? I know it's a rendered picture but can't you show it at a different angle instead?

[aduman]

I fucking hate rumours but should I even consider stepping up from SLI 780TI classifieds?

[Real_PhillBert]

I for one, am super duper pumped for this shit!!!!!

[Deletive]

2048 cuda cores should equal the performance of 27xx kepler cores in 1st generation maxwell and 2867 kepler cores in 2nd generation maxwell... Not impressed if Nvidia does this... I'd rather see a 970ti. If there is 2560 cores on the die and only releases 2048, nvidia would have pulled a HUGE DICK MOVE ON THEIR PART.

[Real_PhillBert]

That'll be awesome.

 

But is no one going to point out the fact that the GEFORCE GTX logo is on the wrong side? I know it's a rendered picture but can't you just show off the other side instead?

Not saying its the art department... but its the art department.

Its on the correct side its just upsidedown for a general atx spec case.

780ti Will be faster. X04 GPUs are worthless X10 gpus are where it's at

They're obviously keeping it up their sleeve until AMD releases something even remotely competitive to the 980. Nobody said you had to buy in RIGHT. AT. LAUNCH. anyway lol

Edit: Not defending them, btw, I hate it just as much but there's a finite amount of care I'll give about American companies using shady tactics.

What you just said... MEANT NOTHING TO ANY OF US! 

 

and it's Gm200 so far. GM204 are mobile parts and thats what these are...

I know and i'm probably not going to buy it at all. 960/970 is plenty for me till 20nm. AMD has nothing up their sleeve till Q2 2015... Not unless they throw more CU's into existed hawaii with ~300+W and call it something competetive

Nvidia is just pissing on their consumers now... I know they can make a 2560 core maxwell chip on 28nm. 

[CowsGoRoar]

What? It's upside down yes, but it's still wrong. 

[Shaqo_Wyn]

If this sh.. is true, that's plenty of CUDA cores and bandwidth lost just for 4GB's of RAM and a lower TDP.

 

Feels like Nvidia is saying: chill out, just buy these cards because we're not ready for 4K yet but when we are you'll have to buy a new GPU again, beyotch!

This is why I'm going to wait. I want to see if their is locked parts of the chip.

I wonder if they'll have a GM/GK 210 or a kepler replacement.

MARK MY WORDS

THERE WILL BE A TITAN X.

[TheProfosist]

It being upsidedown is no where near as bad as it being on the wrong side. Also said and other brands have released whole cards with logo's and text facing the wrong direction.

It's a transitionary architecture, the revolutionary stuff will be released in the next series.

Are you saying the Gigabyte GTX 780(Ti) GHz Edition? :3 Fail backplate.

Even kepler from fermi was a big move... They better realize a nice 960 though... I'm not even buying this generation's flagship. I just hate companies milking.

I think they should name their next "titan" Gtx tianhe

[Rassilon]

148 Watts on a 70 series card is insane. If an 960 can use sub 120 watts that would be a whole new world of efficiency

[Ryan Leech]

PSSSHHHH I have 1056 Fermi CUDA Cores in my beastly machine

[Valentyn]

I'll just keep waiting, and waiting. Not getting caught buying what is a midranged chip labeled as flagship. Going to wait for the full maxwell flagship ( GM210 ) before I decide on anything

[Real_PhillBert]

I only have 480

 

And that shit is still hot, how does your triple card system survive?

Might as will buy our PhysX cards now?
