NVIDIA Announces the GeForce GTX 980 Ti Graphics Card
NVIDIA announced the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, its latest high-end graphics processor. Positioned a notch below the GTX Titan X, and above the GTX 980, it is designed to offer playable frame-rates at 4K Ultra HD resolution, with high-levels of visual details. Based on the same 28 nm GM200 silicon as the GTX Titan X, the chip features 2,816 CUDA cores, carved out by disabling 2 of the 24 streaming multiprocessor units on the silicon; 176 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and a 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 6 GB of memory.
The GeForce GTX 980 Ti features nearly identical clock speeds to the GTX Titan X, with 1000 MHz core, 1076 MHz GPU Boost, and 7012 MHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. The TDP is rated at 250W. The reference design card draws power from a combination of 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe power connectors. Display outputs include three DisplayPort 1.2, and one each of HDMI 2.0 and DVI connectors. The card is capable of 4-way SLI. NVIDIA board partners will launch custom-design variants of this card, with factory-overclocked speeds, and custom air- and liquid-cooled designs. It starts at US $649.99. With this launch, NVIDIA cut prices of the GeForce GTX 980 to $499.99.

Dear oh dear Nvidia. Still, stupendously fast and far cheaper than Titan X. By the time Fiji XT is out, there'll be water blocks available for this so i'll have two choices for water cooling.
EDIT: There's no such problem. Just started reading TPU's review, where W1zz states:
I've read the whole review now and he's said that twice in there.
While it's a great card, it really irks me how one can't get the full GPU without spending a grand on it, though. On top of that, it's not possible to get the full GPU and quiet custom cooling out of the box such as Asis Strix or MSI Gaming. It's a ridiculous situation and one that could have been avoided by NVIDIA. I'm definitely sitting this one out and waiting for Pascal.
We need AMD to make a strong comeback with their new card. Well, here's hoping, anyway.
At the lower price the card is a much better gaming value then the Titan X for sure. For those that don't buy into the higher end cards a few 980 TI reviews mentioned that the 960 TI is coming next week
But of course efficiency be damned! :P
Right now there is probably is a lot of Rage and Fury at the Amd camp
