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.

ive decided im not waiting on any release and buying soon as my rebates through! just depends on how much and when....
This is far more interesting:
DirectX 12 vs. DirectX 11 – Over 100fps Difference on Unreleased GPU
Read more: wccftech.com/directx-12-directx-11-100fps-difference-unreleased-gpu/#ixzz3VzRfsgql
Did a test of DirectX 11 vs. DirectX 12 on an unreleased GPU with an 8core CPU. DX11: 13fps, DX12: 120fps. Lighting and lens effects.
Also, what would be the reasoning behind the lie?
Just claiming it sells does not make it suddenly sell, why would they make a new Titan if it did not make them money?
Or do you believe that if people think something sells/is popular they are more inclined to buy it themselves (thus making it sell thus rendering Nvidia's claim truthful).
And on that second part all I have to say is: seems legit.
But let's say they do not lie... The absolute numbers will actually say how many people actually bought it.
Special tragedy would be investment in some expensive 980 models with price close to TITAN X. Better upgrade on X99, I can pay that now, R5E + 5820K + GSkill 2800/3000 and I will sell 3770K platform, and collect rest of money even before GTX980 Ti show up. It would be good some model 10-20% faster than TITAN X. Every percent is important. And that would be 50-60% stronger card with double more video memory with same not lower bandwidth.
Better 50-60 than 10-15% with GTX980. Only 5 months delay can bring me 40-50% more GPU performance and 3GB Video Memory for same money.
Plan is developed for year 2015.
You do realize that if CPU and GPU were at 100% utilization on DX11, you can't have 10 times draw calls on DX12 ... you could if the CPU was at 100% and GPU at 10%.
Other than that, it's completely unrelated with ... what was it? ... well, with anything.
It is about an unreleased GPU, the 980Ti coming after summer is also such.
Other than that, I would wish you something but........ let's be kind.
I cannot find the "you...you" in his comment, if you called him out on grammar that he since rectified I have to say that is hilarious coming from you.
miscommunication is a problem for both parties always.
I do have an ordinary power to call irrelevant stuff irrelevant.Don't feel bad because I pointed out something about something you wrote.
They news last years are mostly rumors and promises. They are not capable to make GTX980 power in 200W or TITAN X power in 250W.
They couldn't do that before year when NVIDIA had technology for that and they will not capable to do that for one year.
NVIDIA chips are more complex and smarter than AMD. Radeon is more raw power, but last years and that is not possible to be competitive to NVIDIA.
We usually wait more than one year to AMD launch similar performance as NVIDIA. Because of that price are so high. And one more thing, AMD can't sell R9-390X over 600$, no matter on power, even 10% weaker than TITAN X. They will need to drop price soon.
From other side NVIDIA will sell GM200 6GB much more than TITAN X. If they launch something really good, with 100-120MHz more than TITAN X and prepare drivers nice without problems on PCB, VRM, display ports, coil whine, black screen, memory allocation, that could be and maybe best card ever made and most wanted chip.
But for nice non reference models manufacturers need and nice prepared terrain and nice reference cards. NVIDIA should start big production of GM200 chips because they can earn lot next 12-18 months on him. But something tell me that we didn't chance to see best Maxwell chip yet. I don't know... Maybe NVIDIA and prepare some real and expensive monster with 1000-1500e price with more than 4000 CUDA. That would be nice end of 28nm.
Lack of that on AMD for me is same like they are unable to present 25% of color tones... Like some big handicap. Two cards and one of them is normal other is not capable to do 100% same things. NVIDIA could go so far with PhysX that games look completely different, next step would be rendering in real time, every ricoshet or hit to be different and similar things...That would be next good step for gaming except higher resolution. Second thing is that NVIDIA success to somehow achieve with good filters and color tones to everything look more realistic.
I remember before 7-8 and maybe 10 years ATI had better pictures, sharper, NVIDIA looked as 25% lower resolution on same resolution in that time 1024. Now AMD have only sharp picture and color tones are little different, good eye can notice always on video clips in high quality what is inside, NVIDIA or AMD.
Tone of grass, threes... It would be really hard for me to back on AMD... On NVIDIA you can think more on gaming less on game bugs, AMD suffer much worse in buggy games... Than NVIDIA have very good explanation of every game and in game video settings for most games... They explain what will customer get if change some setting, comparison, what is good for image quality and what will improve performance, what customer no reason to enable because no visible change, where is better FXAA, where is better MSAA, in some game work one, in some game other... Comparison between them... Long time on AMD searching for solution for some bug in game I found solution but only for NVIDIA users... If some game is made for Radeon on NVIDIA you will have same or little more fps than Radeon. But if some game is made for NVIDIA you better to avoid immediately with AMD because usually that's disaster. Even if they change on CPU PhysX usually users are faced with fps drops and lose of performance and similar problems. Sometimes Radeons work with 99% on 90C and can't keep stable 60fps, from other side GeForce even only little faster on paper with Vsync work on 60-70% and fps is stable in same game...
But we can't be 100% sure, maybe AMD launch some surprise.
You never know. Now is best time for that if they have something good.
For both sides 5% difference is best scenario.
