NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Clock Speeds Revealed
NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card is shaping up to be the "almost Titan-X for two-thirds its price" product the company wants, out in the market. A leaked GPU-Z screenshot of the card by Korean tech-publication HardwareBattle (the same site that broke the card's core config,) reveals its reference clock speeds. All the values displayed by GPU-Z 0.8.2 in the screenshot are pulled from the system, and not an internal lookup table (all the LUT-based values are grayed out, because version 0.8.2 lacks those values for the GTX 980 Ti). The card offers clock speeds that are similar to those of the GTX Titan-X. The core is clocked at 1000 MHz, with a maximum GPU Boost frequency of 1076 MHz (1089 MHz on the GTX Titan-X), while the memory ticks at 7012 MHz (GDDR5-effective).
From our older article, it's known that the GTX 980 Ti will feature a lower CUDA core count, at 2,816 cores, compared to 3,072 on the GTX Titan-X. The TMU count is proportionately lower, at 176. The ROP count is a bigger mystery than Nessie. The card features 6 GB of GDDR5 memory, across a 384-bit wide memory interface. While the reference board design is something that's beginning to look dated, NVIDIA will allow its AIC (add-in card) partners to come up with custom-design boards factory-overclocked to Kingdom come, from day-one. The GeForce GTX 980 Ti is expected to be launched on the sidelines of Computex 2015, in the first week of June.

Bear in mind that these are total returns. Failures, buyers remorse, and customer dissatisfaction ( coil whine, too high expectation etc.) are all included.
my personal experience with EVGA has been exemplary. 8800U (3), GTX 280 (2), GTX 580, GTX 780 - all overclocked, no complaints.
AMD6658.1 AMD Radeon R7 360 Graphics Bonaire XTX = Radeon R7 260X
AMD67B0.1 AMD Radeon R9 300 Series Hawaii XT = Radeon R9 290X
AMD67B1.1 AMD Radeon R9 300 Series Hawaii PRO = Radeon R9 290
AMD6810.1 AMD Radeon R7 370 Graphics Curacao XT =Radeon R9 270X
AMD6810.2 AMD Radeon R7 300 Series Curacao XT = Radeon R9 270X
AMD6811.1 AMD Radeon R7 300 Series Curacao PRO = Radeon R9 270
AMD6939.1 AMD Radeon R9 300 Series Tonga PRO =Radeon R9 285
I'm not saying that's the best way to do things from consumer perspective, but if the prices are right, no one really cares in the end. If people will be able to get rebranded R9-290X for around 200 €, I think many will grab it. After all, this card still attacks GTX 970 despite its age.
Besides, don't be daft into thinking that they'll rebrand same GPU's for the 3rd time. R9-370X will never be based on R9-270X. R9-370X will most likely be based on R9-280X variant (R9-285X most likely).
... dont you mean until you reach NVIDIA's abhorrently low power limit? :p
So compared to a 780Ti it has double the VRAM, double the Pixel Fillrate (really??), but 64 less shaders and aprox same texture fill rate and memory bandwidth.
All in all, good times are coming for PC gamers, performance wise. With DX12, there are no more issues with providing SLI support for games. We can also for the first time consider SLI VR, a split frame rendering a realistic prospect.
The crystal balls are quit anxious about all this and making anything out of it.
Though I hope multi-card setups will be more user friendly over current hacked options with game profiles. It's one of the reasons why I always strictly used just 1 GPU. Because it's guaranteed problem free. No one can say the same for any SLi or Crossfire setup.
Also, stacking more GPU's on single card should be a lot easier with DX12...
Under DX12, AMD's already strong flagships will suddenly find strength that the users never knew it had.. DX12 not only equalize the playing field between the GPU giants, it also prolongs the lifetime of each gamer's graphics card! I'm so excited for this change, it's hard to not get carried away. ;)
Edit: If you read in the middle of this page, it lists the cards that have sold more than 200 units or 100 units in italics hardware.fr tracks to get the return rankings.

The bright side, at least you get Titan X performance for $200 less.
