Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Ti with GM200-310 Maxwell Core Could Launch by Computex

A report by KitGuru (via PCGamesHardware) states that the rumored GM200 powered GPU, the GTX 980 Ti, could launch at the Computex trade show adjacent month. The report also states that sales will start immediately subsequently the announcement which means we are not looking at a paper launch rather than the actual event. The Geforce GTX 980 Ti volition characteristic the Maxwell GM200-310 core, which will most probably be the cut downwardly form and should be priced to compete with the upcoming Blood-red launches.

Nvidia GM200-310 powered GTX 980 Ti launching by Computex

Yield is an interesting concept. With the TITAN-10 powered past the total fat GM200-400 core, logic and yield theory dictates that the GM200-310 GPU is the cutting down variant with fewer SMMs. The "large daddy" Maxwell GM200-400 core has 24 SMMs. The GTX 980 Ti, if it is a cutting die, could have around 20 SMMs. However, in that location have been past rumors which land that we might actually be looking at a full fat GM200 with this iteration as well - something that makes no sense , I feel it is my duty to add together.

Nosotros are going to be looking at 6GB of GDDR5 Memory and a much decent price tag as compared to the TITAN-X. Initial rumors put the launch date by May 26th but if this new study is true than it could extend to the early weeks of June. Something I take pointed out before is, that the launch date of the GTX 980 Ti is an imperceptible matter. No matter how accurate the report is, it cannot be relied on for the simple reason that Nvidia does not need to launch GTX 980 Ti until AMD goes ahead with its adjacent gen lineup - and even and so when it feels like it. It tin can only postpone or change the road map in anyhow that it so wants.

This is why information technology is entirely within the realm of possibility that it might decide to postpone the GPU further and push it forrard to a July launch. Given below is the specification table of the GTX 900 serial and the new Titan graphic carte from Nvidia. There have been no cost confirmation about the GTX 980 Ti but it should naturally be more than than the 980 and less than the TITAN-X (~~duh~~). If someone were to ask me to speculate on the exact price then I would wager on a value around ~$750.
