GM200-based GeForce GTX 980 Ti to hit the market this fall – rumour

Nvidia Corp. has reportedly slightly changed launch schedule of its GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card powered by the GM200 graphics processor. The latest market rumours suggest that the new adapter will hit the market in September and will be a part of the company’s product refresh this Fall.

Previously it was reported that Nvidia intends to release its GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card this summer, possibly to compete against AMD’s Radeon R9 390-series add-in-boards. While in the past Nvidia did release new graphics cards in summer, the move is generally unusual: end-users tend to buy new graphics adapters in Fall, whereas OEMs acquire new hardware even when it is not released officially. The plan to launch something new in September looks more logical.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti is expected to be powered by the fully-fledged GM200 graphics processing unit with 3072 stream processors, 192 texture mapping units, 96 raster operations pipelines as well as 384-bit memory interface. The main difference between the GeForce GTX 980 Ti and the GeForce GTX Titan X is expected to be the size of frame-buffer: 6GB of GDDR5 on the GTX 980 Ti vs. 12GB on the GTX Titan X.

As the GM200 graphics processing unit is extremely complex and record large, it is inevitable that there are GPUs with damaged compute or fixed-function units. Therefore, Nvidia needs to create a graphics adapter that will use GPUs with disabled parts and will be positioned below the GeForce GTX Titan X, but above the GTX 980. Keeping that in mind, it is highly likely that Nvidia will release not one GeForce GTX 900-series graphics card featuring the GM200 chip, but two of them: one with fully-fledged GPU and another with a cut-down version.

Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

KitGuru Says: It makes a great sense for Nvidia to release a GM200-based GeForce GTX 900-series graphics card as a part of its autumn product refresh. Still, specs and the name GTX 980 Ti do not look trustworthy at the moment.

  1. Milking time ,yay )

  2. Is it me or didn’t anyone else not notice we didn’t receive a GTX790? are we going to see the GTX990? or is the TITAN now king of KINGS? death to the twin GPU?

  3. valgarlienheart .

    Why would they release it now when there are plenty of people buying the expensive titan?

  4. The Titan Z was dual GPU wasn’t it? Maybe since they dropepd the Compute aspect on these new Titan X, we’ll see a Dual Titan X later on that will take the place of what could have been a 990?

  6. If they wait that long the 390x will destroy nvidia in sales.

    they price dual gpus 1.5x more than buying two gpus of the same kind lol and sli them.

  8. And how is that? Amd isn’t gonna show the 390x until computex seeing as how thats in june we probably won’t be seeing the 390x in stores until august or september, seeing as how nvidia did last time announcing and releasing the 780ti right after amd did with the 290x, it’s probably gonna go that way again.

  9. What if amd is not doing a paper launch in June and actually has product to sell?

  10. Then i guess nvidia might have to rethink their release plans or drop prices on their current lines.
