NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti

$649.99 ..... I guess they are going for the kill.

The table above shows the revised GeForce lineup, and you'll notice that the GTX 980 Ti lists for $649.99. That's a nice discount from the one-grand price of the Titan X, especially considering how similar the two products really are. The GTX 980 Ti will come with a copy of Batman: Arkham Knight, as well. That's not exactly a bargain, but it's a way better deal than the $1K flagship.
Speaking of which, to make room for the 980 Ti, Nvidia has also dropped the price of the vanilla GeForce GTX 980 by 50 bucks to $499.99.

I love how the B3D benchmark on techreport with the random texture shows the effects of color compression. Surprised to see how it has such a big impact, and how it differs from the 780Ti.

(I'll never be able to claim anymore that GPUs are never released at CES or Computex.)

Hell yes, time for the 7970GhzEd to "trickle down" to my brother; it's OC'd 980Ti time! Look at those overclocking results too, so nice.
 
I've ordered a GTX 980 Ti to replace my GTX 680. Now to wait for some more G-sync monitor goodness to be reviewed by tftcentral.co.uk so I can make a choice finally.

Yes, even if only for a bit of a price drop on a GeForce :)

Surely 980 Ti is a great overclocker and a very fast gaming card. I'm itching to upgrade myself but waiting few more weeks is a logical choice (though waiting is killing me :))
 
GTX 980 Ti Classified Kingpin

EVGA GTX 980 Ti Classified Kingpin Edition comes with a 15-phase VRM and a new cooler which uses a full copper heatsink connected to the base via 8mm heatpipes and cooled by two 100mm fans. The new graphics card also comes with a full cover backplate.

The VRM needs two 8-pin and one 6-pin PCI-Express power connectors and with such specifications we are quite sure that the factory-overclock will be quite impressive as well, making it one of the fastest Geforce GTX 980 Ti on the market.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti G1 Gaming Review

The perf is much faster then a GTX Titan X, yet pricing is much better at MSRP is $689.99 USD plus tax. Fluid framerates is what you'll play your games with. It does so while hardly making any noise and keeps itself at nice temperatures. Compared to the GeForce GTX 980 Ti at 2560x1440 you can expect an increase of up-to 30% performance (over the reference GeForce GTX 980 Ti), at Ultra HD we have seen that number grown the best.

Wow.
"With GPU Gauntlet™ Sorting, the Gigabyte SOC graphics card guarantees the higher overclocking capability in terms of excellent power switching."
Huh, so if binning was used, that would partially explain those amazing results. http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5472#ov
It seems Hilbert has his system open, so that helps with cooling. I guess all reviewers benchmark that way, but I think it's worth remembering.
Very informative review. It would be even better if the charts included other, elite, custom cards, but today is this cards chance to shine so I understand that choice.

Kudos to Gigabyte for extracting all that theoretical performance and making it useable. Great job by Hilbert in demonstrating this. Very impressive piece of kit. It might end up helping to define the limits of this generation's single gpu performance potential.
 
Nice card. Would be nice to see a full GM200 get the same treatment. I didn't realize Hawaii was so far behind Maxwell in certain titles. Can't recall the last time there was such a gap between competing flagships.
 
That GIgabyte SOC card is batshit insane, in more than a few places it is triple the performance of my 7970Ghz card, even before the additional overclock (on top of the factory OC.)

Fiji needs to hurry the hell up so it can depress the $690 asking price another 10% or so, that way I can buy this one and feel slightly less guilty :D

Haha, ok then, good to know. :)
For people who contemplate buying, and then overclocking, cards like this Gigabyte one, the increases in voltage, clock speed, power usage, and then temperatures, are worth reading about.
Edit: Lol, interesting trivia, but maybe too OT, so I deleted it.

TPU do excellent reviews. Very good mix of games at the right resolutions and settings with a great performance summary at the end. I'm suprised gow well the 390x is doing vs the 980 (non-Ti). The 980Ti SC is certainly very fast bu also well out of my price range so not something I'd seriously consider.
