NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Silicon Marked "GM200-310"
NVIDIA's upcoming high-end single-GPU graphics card, based on the GM200 silicon, which debuted with the GTX TITAN X, will feature a silicon marked "GM200-310." The SKU will be named GeForce GTX 980 Ti, and is more likely to be priced around the $600-650 mark, than replacing the $550 GTX 980 off the shelves. Going by the way NVIDIA re-positioned the GTX 780 to $499 with the introduction of the GTX 780 Ti, we imagine something similar could happen to the GTX 980. From what we gathered so far, the GTX 980 Ti will be based on the GM200 silicon. Its CUDA core count is unknown, but it wouldn't surprise us if it's unchanged from the GTX TITAN X. Its different SKU numbering shouldn't be an indication of its CUDA core count. GTX 780 Ti and GTX TITAN Black had different numbering, but the same CUDA core counts of 2,880.
The card will feature 6 GB of GDDR5 memory across the chip's 384-bit wide memory interface. It will feature five display outputs, similar to that of the GTX 980. Unlike with the GTX TITAN X, NVIDIA partners will have the freedom to launch custom-design GTX 980 Ti products from day-one. There are two theories doing rounds on when NVIDIA plans to launch this card. One suggests that it could launch in mere weeks from now, probably even on the sidelines of Computex. The other suggests that it will launch towards the end of Summer, as NVIDIA wants to make the most cash from its existing GTX 980 inventory.

It shows that the nvidia wait what AMD can currently offer in 20nm and then released her version of 20nm or are major problems?, were there again ' profit marketing tactic? We'll see.
Somehow not escape the feeling that nVidia is becoming thick pig who it must be maintain from the poor population vith low tricks . Horror where there are times when we get the strongest 4 GPU option for € 1,200 and now is 1 card is so expensive. Horror same manipulation : Market ,information ,people, ITD. They fell so low.
I am pretty sure their next GPU will be a 6GB non cut down variant and we'll probably see a dual GPU earlier than expected, hopefull for a sane price this time around.
...and as for Globalfoundries, they made no secret of the fact that 20nm LPM stands for Low Power Manufacturing, and moreover, GloFo's process page which I linked to here, has now disappeared entirely, nor that the company pretty much jettisoned it in favour of pouring funds into licence manufacture of Samsung's 14nm-XM process.
...and yet, some people just seem content to bury their heads in the sand and write their own narrative completely at odds with known fact and the foundries own literature.

I don't know if the GTX 970's issue was what Captain_Tom was driving at, although you're right that the 970's logic segmentation caused the issue you're talking about- reducing ROPs and their attendant L2 without proportionally reducing the memory controllers as Nvidia did with the 970M and 965M.
@bogami While I do appreciate your point, businesses are not in business to cater to people's ability to pay. That viewpoint is directly from an economic system that has proven it can only fail, wherever implemented (Socialism, for those that need help) -"From each according to his ability, To each according to his need (ability to pay)." This was popularized by Karl Marx, but originated with Louis Blanc, the French socialist in 1851.
I guarrantee if you had a business, you would charge what people are willing to pay. Why? You have bills to pay, and maybe a family to support, and would like to move up someday. They are a business, not a non-profit agency. All successful businesses charge what people are willing to py. Those that charge too little (sales and special events notwithstanding) to cover all their necessary research, development, production, personnel and marketing expenses do not profit, and eventually go under.
Release it, Nvidia!! and cut prices!

I figured the R9 390x would drop first but maybe not.

According to this site review sample 980 Ti have already been sent out and it looks like the rumor that it's going to be a cut down GM200 is being reinforced and it will probably be a little slower than a Titan X. My guess is that this can be made up for by increased overclocking potential due to superior non reference coolers which will be available.
