EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti VR Edition Starts Selling

[Fluffmeister]

lies... the titan doesnt really sell to people unless they plan to put a water block on it and oc it. having a lot to do with how much heat it produces already and needing the overclock to even be worth the money. pretty much all efficiency out the window at that point but at least you can overclock it when its water.. the furyx has a custom water cooler and overclocks for shit.

Titan X sells just fine, in fact it wouldn't surprise me if it outsold every Fiji based card with ease.

Fury X is water cooled because it is already clocked to the balls to compete, it's lack of headroom is there for everyone to see... sorry.

such strange perception. if anyone is doing the overclocking its nv.. practically starting a 2ghz race with themselves

I like you, you're a kinda weird AMD yoda fanboy, you talk bollocks... so you fit right in.

The only thing you can say is Nvidia has a 601mm² part, while AMD nearly competitive part is a 596mm² not much else.

The problem is they are also now using that 596mm² part to compete with / undercut the GM204 398mm² GTX 980 GDDR5 cash cow.

its cool that the nano is a full chip but i would have rather seen another fiji gpu that is cut down more and able to reach higher overclocks with some high quality oem models more like the fury.. i mean look at what sapphire did.

He's just a troll. He doesn't know.

feel free to explain how the 980ti has its 384 bit mem bus populated

i mean you would almost think nvidia is creating issues on a hareware level so they can sell a software fix to game devs. oh wait....

 

[MxPhenom 216]

there is certainly a level of comparison to be had.
that would probably be a good thread.. no? pull up some white papers on compute units for both camps?

Not really. Itll be civil for about a page, then turn into AMD vs Nvidia pissing contest.

So, please explain how the Kepler series with 384 bit bus and 3GB of VRAM functioned? Or the Fermi series with 384 bit bus and 1.5GB of VRAM? Or G80 with 384 bit bus and 768MB of VRAM?

Those are all perfectly fine amounts for the bus. The odd ones are like 128bit for 3gb of ram. You'd expect either 1 or 2gb capacities, but nvidia has been able to deviate from that. I don't know that stuff well enough to go in depth, though I wish I did. I know a few users here that do.

exactly the same by splitting the whole into 2 sections. it aint nothing new, you're right it goes all the way back to the 8800gtx days.

not wanting to invest in future tech back then they wanted to cheap out and reuse ddr3, funny the symmetry

i wonder if hbm will flop like gddr4? with the other big players getting involved i doubt it.

why do you think it was nvidia chasing better ram optimisations with maxwell now that more people are starting to rock high res screens again too?

funny part is people still blame it on amd like...bad amd y u no create problem to sell solution???

but yea, i'm a fanboy who knows nothing...

gg evga, front hdmi might end up being a thing for sure.

get well soon....

 

[AsRock]

I guess they found another way to bleed people of their money for the same old tech.

 

[vega22]

get well soon....

in a world where being debt free is an act of rebelion i enjoy not being well

Well true, but this is about VR and 980's don't hold much promise. I think RTG "Gemini" card will be more adept solution and may well be less than two of such 980Ti.

For savvy "gaming" consumers at this point, even the 980 isn't.

I mean right now Egg has that Nitro for $510 *No Rebate*... and while it's not the "cash-cow" still perpetrated by Nvidia, I'm sure RTG is not losing money on what they sell at this point. As of late on Egg there's small movement on GTX980's they seem to have fallen into the $460-490 for a fair group when a rebate in play. It's good to have competition.
