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.

moving along.... let's see whether the 980Ti is as good as what the leaked intel predicted against the R9 390X. Another would be hot topic is these 2 new beast one-on-one in a multi-threaded DX12 API benching once they're out & folks like FutureMark released a brand new 3D Mark benching software for it. That is what I wanted to see.

@Chaitanya heck, even the 750 series cards are too good for FPS titles like L4D2 while breaking the 120fps barrier with ease at Maxed out settings. XD

you misspelled my name, yes 750 series can easily handle 120fps for FPS games but not the newer ones. Most of the PC that I sold were for people playing MMOs.

AAAAAHHHHHHH i been waiting months to buy a pc and now i have the chance to buy a half decent maybe 4k pc, the fekin cards are delayed and playing waiting games!

i dont really fancy a pair of 390x in matx, it would melt, if i bought 2 980s the Ti's would destroy them and i'd be pissed and resentful, the prices of titans and 980s would drop and be on mass deals, i could wait but then my funds would probably be halved by spending, i could buy a titanX then another but when the ti is released.

i bet there will be a price hike just before the release of the Ti/390x like usual business tactics...

Don't fret, I'm in the same boat. Running 2 780Ti's which is most awesome but the 3Gb is starting to show. Plus I want to move to 4k (for the hell of it). I need more VRam but I can't buy Titan now because of 390X and I can't buy that until 980Ti... Well, obviously something's got to give. It is kinda funny. If Nvidia didn't price the Titan so high it would sell loads more. Well, I'd buy it without the fear of buyers remorse.

It would not surprise me in the least to find out that some smart guy in marketing at Nvidia knows that by doing the releases this way it will tempt more than a few people to go ahead and pay the $1,000 for the Titan X when all they need is a 980 Ti. After all it worked last generation with the Kepler Titans.

I dont have a pc though and its starting to thin my patience not having one.

i just wonder if nvidia learnt from before and will gimp the 980ti to fit just below the titanX and price accordingly, or have another 780ti saga! i've been looling at several reviews and the titanX with a decent OC keeps up with 980sli at 4k.... its a moral dilemma!

just read above post, who am i kidding...

Tsukiyomi91breaking the 60fps barrier with nearly at max settings on 1080p for demanding games is the best thing I have in life.
You need to seriously reevaluate your life

Ferrum Masteroh LOL...

Are they really scared of 390X or is it only me?
If they were scared of it, they'd be releasing now to cash in while they can.

It sounds to me like they think they have an equal or better product than the 390X... Which is quite possible. Who can say at this point?

@the54thvoid

to be fair, there isn't much else that could've been inferred from your post besides gayness or some other weird sexual deviation (not saying gay is a deviation, that's not my place or opinion). You mentioned "Unless that breaks your countries laws." I know you didn't mean anything by it but just saying...

just remembered that EVGA has the step up program, could buy anything and then upgrade by offsetting the cost!

ChaitanyaI would like to see replacement for 750/750Ti before 980Ti, hell even a 960Ti makes more sense compared to release of 980Ti at this point of time.
This, I'd rather see a $249 192-bit 3GB 960Ti than a gimped Titan X atm. 980 and Titan X have the top covered, do we really need to split it into 15% differences up there. (Actually I'm guessing that 980 -> 980 Ti +20% perf, and 980Ti -> TiX +10% perf, ie I expect it to be hot on TiX trail.)

Yes, and we migrate in winter to lay our eggs and nest.

GhostRyderI had a felling we would be waiting a bit on this card. Made no sense to butcher the GTX Titan X that fast in sales without another card that would theoretically be better.
Unless the R9 390X butchers the Titan X by a solid 20%.

Sony Xperia SAn immediate ban because you hint that guy is gay.... That's awful rude.

Don't you, guys, have parents who taught you how to behave and not being rude with people?
Oh the irony, you are the (only) one that says being gay/homosexual is a bad thing.

I think the GM200-based product intended for the sub-$1k market is likely to come just as soon as AMD shows up with a product in that price point.

Remember that time when AMD showed up with the R9 290/290X line with great prices (for the time). That's when "magically" nVidia showed up with the 780 at the same magic price point and the 780 Ti to keep the crown at a higher price.

If AMD were truly competitive with the Titan X, expect the 980 Ti or 990 or whatever to come not long after. If it's not, expect it around the same time as the 980 and 970's release.

Could we get a bit of clarification on the heading.
Which Summer?
Our Summer ended a month ago, how long do we have to wait!
Not everyone lives in opposites land where Summer is about to begin.

I didn't take 54thVoid's comment badly. I felt he was covering every possibility that might exist, in one sentence.

Yeah he cleared up what he meant with me in a PM. 'Tis all good and his intentions were flawless as I suspected. Nothing more to say really.

Seriously, I need to pay no more than 300 for a 970. Almost had a 770 for that, except for the short stocks up here in Canada. They need to release the ti so the rest of us can afford a gaming card. Seriously! 400+ for a 970, no, not happening.

4K is a little overkill for the R9 290X as it can only limit you to playing at medium for most demanding games on that resolution. However, if you're playing games like D2, LoL, SCII or others, you can turn up the settings to High without the need for AA. Make sure you use DisplayPort if you want to drive that resolution at 60Hz as HDMI limits that at 30Hz.

can we all just chill? It's just a lame joke... come on. =w= As for my new rig, I'll be sticking with Devil's Canyon + Maxwell setup since Broadwell aka 5th Gen Core Series CPUs aren't much of an improvement over D.C... just a better iGPU (and super low TDP) for those who wanted to build a super-cheap, low power custom set top boxes that can play 4K videos well for his/her 4K TV in their living room.

The initial comment wasn't particularly negative or insulting, though perhaps text based speech strips light humour from posts for some people. That's all there is to it.

Move on, get back on topic. First and final warning. TPU does not tolerate homophobic behaviour.
