ASUS, Gigabyte, and MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Reference Graphics Cards Pictured

May 29th, 2015 14:02 Discuss (42 Comments)

Here are some of the first pictures of retail packages of NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card, sold by ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI. The three are reference-design cards, which stick to reference speeds. A leaked retailer presentation by ASUS confirms the specifications of this SKU, as being based on the GM200 silicon, with 2,816 CUDA cores, and 6 GB of GDDR5 memory across its 384-bit wide memory interface. Reference clock speeds are almost identical to those of the GTX TITAN X, with 1000 MHz core, 1076 MHz GPU Boost, and 7012 MHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. The GTX 980 Ti launches in the first week of June.

That is a very sexy card, ill take one pls and another in 2-3 years

Uhmm now they push with reference cooler and PCB, i like it because more is easy to find compatible waterblocks for them !!

Another thing i notice is that there is not much enthusiasm for this card.

And indeed I see a lot of people selling in recent weeks their GTX 980 for this card.

But at least im happy for the owners of TITAN X because this time they do not see their purchase surpassed in a short time since launch.

Well, it looks good (to me). I can't wait for W1zzard's reviews and benchmarks!

This is turning out to be an Nvidia versus AMD leaked PR heavyweight marketing bout.

I like it.

This is one of the most exciting new release times I can remember for awhile.

If DX12 is what it's rumored you could. You could even pair a high end Nvidia GPU with a high end AMD GPU working together on each frame. An unholy marriage of ass kicking performance there but it's all good for gamers if it works.

Well were getting close to an all out war. I will say this though, I am not as shocked at the look of the GTX 980ti though so the leak does not really add much. I would prefer to see some more details on performance though!

It looks like all the other cards just like it. And I suppose it is good that Nvidia purposefully held back with the 980 Ti, cause what, were they going to sell the top of the line core right off the bat, or make you buy the slightly cut down version first for the same money first.

Kinda like buying a V8 that has two spark plugs missing so they can sell you the version with the extra two plugs later for more money.

But that happens all the time with lots of products. Those damn white collar thiefs are all over the place.

Don't take it as gospel, since WCCFTech is the source, but reference should be $799 MSRP.

Oh Snap, plus you know, like the Dual BIOS to allow you to tweak and play with the BIOS of your card, which is exactly like the EPROM in your engine controller.

mmm interesting .. so i can modiify my GTX 760?
mmmmmm ... i should read more about GPU's .. im pretty lazy on them ...

I can't believe that so many are excited about paying the exorbident price for a hacked down GM 200 chip.

It's not fair, I paid $430 for my gtx 570.

Why do I now have to pay almost twice as much for the same thing ?

nvidea is sure to follow the same pathway by releasing the fully enabled GM200 7 months from now anyway.

It's l so sad.

I'm not paying a cent with this kind of treatment. Ill just wait a year and but the card when the next architecture is release (like I did with my current 780ti).

I really don't care how cards look like. I just want them to have effective coolers. These blowers have a function if you want to have case internals cooler at expense of some noise. But they can be plain black for all I care...

Treatment? Nvidia don't owe you shit, I'm pretty sure graphics cards fall firmly into the disposable income category.

Nvidia do what they can get away with relative to the competition, if certain people can't help opening their wallets at every opportunity then frankly that is their problem.

Umm. They did that already. Titan X is the full chip. 980ti is the castrated version.

Not sure how true the picture below is? these will go for $800+- a few bucks ???

sad... I dont really understand because for $200 more I could have 12GB of memory and a faster card aka Titan X

LOL, I remember the days when the 5870, the top card at that time, was launched for 400$ :)))

And this was exactly 4 and half years ago.
