NVIDIA to Launch GeForce GTX 980 Ti After Summer
NVIDIA reportedly adjusted launch of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, to after Summer, 2015. The company could be using the time to let the market digest existing inventories of the GTX 980 (and avoid the repeat of slow sales on its GTX 770), particularly in the early-Summer season, when PC enthusiasts and gamers tend to upgrade or build afresh. The time could also be spent to watch what AMD comes up with, for its Radeon R9 390X.
The R9 390X, scheduled for a June-July launch, is based on a silicon that looks competitive with the GM200 on paper, and introduces a few new features, such as high-bandwidth memory (HBM). The GTX 980 Ti could feature an identical core-configuration to the GTX TITAN X, but feature half the memory amount at 6 GB, different clock speeds, and freedom for add-in card (AIC) partners to innovate custom-design cards.

@Chaitanya You do know the 750/750 Ti are Maxwells right?
But I think if nvidia releases gtx950ti it will be castrated gm206 and gt750ti will be rebranded as gtx950.
Are they really scared of 390X or is it only me?
@Ferrum Master hmm... *thinks* maybe? maybe not.

@Chaitanya for now I can safely say the GTX750 & Ti variant is still the more preferred card for budget builders who wants decent horsepower without breaking their wallet.
So nVidia can wait and see what the air-cooled version of the 390x is capable of, and then tune the clock speeds of the 980Ti to match or better it.
But seriously - no they're not. Everyone is basing perf on the Chiphell leaks and that placed GM200 (AKA Titan X) just behind 390X (or Fiji XT). But, a 980Ti with 6GB (already better placed on TDP than Titan X) and clock speeds up to what 1400-1500Mhz will put it about 20-25% faster than Titan X, IF required.
The later release makes sense, the 780Ti stole the 290X's brief crown, then the 980 came along and now Titan X. 3 cards to beat down AMD's top tier. I don't think fora second Nvidia are scared, simply waiting to see what will be required to slap down Fiji.
I'm quite sure Fiji will beat Titan X but not be enough to be safe from an AIB modified GM200.
I guess the launch of 980 Ti that late is not the optimal solution.
Don't you, guys, have parents who taught you how to behave and not being rude with people?
I say sexual partner because having not stalked the posters profile page I cannot at a glance determine sex. Your profile actually says female but your context from your postings suggest otherwise. By not knowing someone's gender, it is better to say partner than infer sexual orientation as that leaves it open to correct interpretation.
You on the other hand, being the forum troll that you are suggest that I am insulting someone when my post infers no such meaning. Many of our forum members are female and it is highly chauvinistic to apply the male gender to them.
Your input is not desired, unwelcome and again, utterly futile. Why don't you just go away and
