gtx 980 ti release date is out

Eliomiller · Feb 25, 2015

Hi,i was searching for the gtx 980 ti specs.and I found that after the rumors about that card launching in 2016 NVidia gave the release date to the public which is in April.do you think its true? Do you think that gpu will outpass the r9295x2?it will be good enough for 1monitor 4k at least as I think...

Link?

No, it almost certainly won't be faster than the R9 295x2. That's a dual GPU card, and each GPU in it is almost as fast as the 980. Neither Nvidia nor AMD double performance within the same generation.

That also means it won't run high settings on 4K, since neither two 980s nor the R9 295x2 can do that.

My hope for the card is that it will reveal the GM210 chip, fully unlocked, if they even make a 980 ti.

[Edit] Found a link to something saying what you mention, but nothing's confirmed: http://www.kdramastars.com/articles/75870/20150225/gtx-980-ti-release-date.htm

A full powered GM210 would be something to behold indeed.

As to release date, unless what you found was in the last 3 days or so, then there's been no official word from Nvidia on the 980Ti's release (or existence even).

Yeah, I'm sitting on my 780 ti until that card comes out, at least. The 980's only significant improvement comes from an extra GB or VRAM. Not that exciting. But an unlocked GM210 with 8GB of VRAM is something I would throw some money at.

I was struggling along on a single GTX760 running a triple-screen setup (was only temporary, I intended to upgrade to 2x GTX770s) when the GTX970 came along. If I hadn't jumped at a GTX970 SLi like an excited child at christmas I'd have probably sat on my money a bit longer and waited to at least see the specs of the 980Ti.
Alas, what I have gives me more than enough performance for ultra spec gaming on three monitors, so I'm just interested to see what Nvidia can do when they let the GM210 off it's collar.

There is no confirmed release date yet. If there were even any solid rumors Videocardz would have them and they don't. Right now speculation is for later in the year.

The parts were delayed due to the 20nm fabrication process being a complete fail and being skipped over in favor of a new16nm process that reportedly has much better yields.

The link I posted above was from today, February 25, 2015.

I'm sorry if I don't find a site about Korean celebrity news very credible. Especially when the title contains a question mark and the word alleged. Not exactly official word.

Oh look here they are saying it will be released in February.....

http://www.christiantoday.com/article/gtx.980.ti.release.details.new.specs.leaked/46242.htm

"Some reports claim that the power packed Nvidia GTX 980 Ti graphics card will come out early this year, while others are saying that it will reach the public in late 2016. However, KDramaStars stated that the new graphics card will be released in February this year."

2 980s can most definitely run most modern games (crysis, bf4) at ultra settings. Heck, for the most part even 1 can get decent frame rates with it. It's just once you put AA on the games have a hard time. But for example the bf hardline beta, without AA or ambient occlusion (all other settings on ultra) I was getting around 60 fps with 1 980.

Eggz · Feb 25, 2015

So testy! No one ever vouched for that site's credibility. It's just a link rumor link saying something related because OP didn't give any link. I even said on the post where I provided it "nothing confirmed."

xxxlun4icexxx :

Are you talking 4K? That goes against every benchmark I've read. Anandtech is a pretty reputable benchmark site, so I'll just cite them here

The only resolution that keeps an average above 60 fps with Ultra settings in Battlefield 4 is 1080 on a GTX 980. Both 1440 and, especially, 4k lag behind. The GPU power just isn't here yet, at least not for 60 fps.

Perhaps mine were much closer as I don't have a reference card.

There is currently no single GPU card that can even hope to run 4K on ultra at playable frame rates..

xxxlun4icexxx · Feb 25, 2015

zarugal :

That is 100% wrong..... A GTX 980 will give you playable framerates on ultra settings as long as you do not enable AA or ambient occlusion. How do I know this? Because I have one... Depending on the game you can get pretty close to 60. I was playing bf just fine with only 1 980 at ultra.

Regardless, even if you aren't at a constant 60 fps, some people consider lower than that "playable"

Don't just spew out information because of what you have seen on benchmarks. An OCed 980 will do just fine at 4k. Once you start enabling eye candy settings yes you need more than 1 card.

You list a 3-way SLi in your build..

If you can get around 60 fps at 4K (2160p) on a single card then that's the first such occasion that I've heard or read about it anywhere..

Overclocking video cards doesn't do that much. It's still just the same chip. Overclock the balls out of a 480, and it still won't keep up with an underclocked 680.

Here's a benchmark showing the EVGA 980 Classified, perhaps the most aggressive version of that card, and it is aggressively overclocked: http://www.hardwareluxx.com/index.php/reviews/hardware/vgacards/33340-test-evga-geforce-gtx-980-classified.html?start=11

I linked the article rather than the graphs because they are interactive and can't be linked here, which means you'll actually need to click the link and review it in order to see what I'm referencing.

When you click the link, you'll see that an aggressively overclocked 980 Classified in Battlefied 4 on Ultra at 4K gets only 47.7 fps, and it drops frames down to 41, with AA down to its lowest setting. Applying more drops you down into the 30s on average, going into the low 20s.

Given that an overclocked 980 Classified is as fast as the 980s get, and that the 980 is currently the fastest card, it's pretty clear that no single GPU card in existence right now can deliver smooth gameplay in games like Battlefield 4 at 4K on Ultra settings.

This.

How is 45-50FPS not smooth gameplay? With AA off and only 1 card it is not going to be a stuttery mess. Some console games play at 30. Yes I'd say that 45-50FPS is around what I was getting with one card on ultra. To me, that is close to 60, and if not close, it is most certainly playable. Is that where I like it? No, but it's not awful either. You throw a gsync monitor in the mix, you wouldn't even notice the difference between 50 and 60.
