NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6 GB

Today NVIDIA releases the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, based on the same GPU as Titan X, with same clocks but fewer shaders. This card is designed as preemptive strike against AMD's upcoming Fiji cards. In our testing the $650 GTX 980 Ti can almost match performance of the $1k Titan X.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti

Today we have Nvidia's latest GPU on hand, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. Like the recently released Titan X the GTX 980 Ti is designed for 4K gaming. However the GTX 980 Ti is considerably more affordable, which should make it a more popular choice among high-end gamers...

Thus far 2015 has been a busy year for Nvidia as they continue to unveil their GeForce 900 ‘Maxwell’ GPU series. Already it has been eight months since the GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 arrived back in September of 2014.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Reivew

The preemptive strike against AMD. Nvida came in swinging with the GeForce GTX Titan X graphics processor that was outed in March of this year. A full implementation of the GM200 die means it's a big bruiser of a GPU that's still fabbed on the very mature 28nm process.

8bn transistors that take their cue from the energy-efficient second-generation Maxwell architecture means Titan X can do a lot with a 250W power budget. Nvidia goes big on memory, ramping it all the way to 12GB, ostensibly suiting applications common on workstations, but Titan X remains the king of the consumer graphics hill, too... at least until AMD's Fiji architecture comes to market in a month's time.

Nvidia is seeking to cement its position as provider of premier consumer GPUs with the release of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. Said GPU takes in almost all of the goodness present in Titan X, reduces the overly-massive framebuffer in half, and creates a card that it hopes will challenge AMD's upcoming best from both price and performance points of view.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review

Yes ladies and gentlemen, big Maxwell for the consumer is here! We review, test and benchmark that all new GeForce GTX 980 Ti and include a very nice overclock I might add. In this review we look deeply into the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. You'd expect a product with '980' in it to have a similar slightly tweaked GPU, but no Sir. Nvidia shifted a thing or two around, the 980 Ti is based on the BIG Maxwell GPU, the same GPU that is powering the Titan X.

Obviously the product has been trimmed down a tiny bit, but trust us when we say, there's plenty performance to be found. This product comes with a luxurious six Gigabytes of graphics memory and with these specs, the GTX 980 Ti should be fetching a lot of interest for the true gamers among is. The GPU empowering the GeForce 980 Ti is big, this one has a massive transistor count; it is a slightly revised GM200 A1 GPU that currently feeds the Titan X its horsepower. So yes, a slightly different iteration of the GM200. The card has five display outputs: three DisplayPorts, HDMI and DVI-I.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review

Last March, NVIDIA announced the GeForce GTX Titan X during the GTC (GPU Technology Conference). It was only a matter of time before the chipmaker would release a Ti card as the latest addition to the Maxwell GPU lineup. Today, NVIDIA will debut the highly anticipated GTX 980 Ti at the Computex tradeshow in Taipei, Taiwan. The card should then be available at retail within the week. It is expected that NVIDIA's board partners will be releasing their own custom cards at the same time. At the time of writing it's not a secret that EVGA, ZOTAC, ASUS, and probably MSI will be joining the GTX 980 Ti bandwagon and releasing several SKUs with custom board designs and improved cooling solutions.

The GTX 980 Ti card is facing some high expectations, after the tremendous success of the GTX 980 and the Titan X being currently the uncontested king of single GPU cards. It also comes to a market that's anticipating the eternally rumored new Radeon cards from AMD. However, this new member of the Maxwell family has a great legacy and comes with some solid specs that should translate into great performance.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review

Ten months ago we saw the launch of the GTX 980. Two months ago we got a look at the latest halo card in NVIDIA's Maxwell-based product stack, and can see that NVIDIA got us interested with the GTX 980, then slammed the proverbial door on any of the single GPU cards in AMD's aging product stack. Now we finally get our hands on the card everyone knew had to come out of the skunk works at NVIDIA: the GTX 980 Ti! While the GTX Titan X is the card to have to futureproof your gaming system with 12GB of GDDR5 memory and 3072 CUDA cores to handle the load when making the switch to 4K gaming and rolling in upcoming VR tech. So how does that pan out when you chop 6GB, two streaming multiprocessors, and 256 Cuda cores out of the equation? That's what we are here to find out boys and girls.

Today the latest card from NVIDIA, the GTX 980 Ti, comes to fruition and is finally available to the gaming public. Cards will be available from most of the AIB partners, with prices starting at $649 for reference cards, like the one I am looking at today.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review: A Cheaper Titan X Arrives

When NVIDIA launched the GeForce GTX Titan X a few weeks back, it did a couple of things. In addition to releasing the fastest single-GPU-powered graphics card we have seen to date, it also created a huge gap in NVIDIA’s desktop GPU line-up. The GeForce GTX 980 can be had for about $530 give or take a few bucks (though that will be changing after today). The GeForce GTX Titan X, however, landed at a cool $1000. That’s a big price gap to leave empty. Consider the Titan X’s massive 12GB of memory and the fact that its GPU leverages all available resources of the GM200 design, and it becomes obvious that a card with less memory and fewer CUDA cores could easily drop in between the GTX 980 and Titan X and fill that gap.

And that’s just what NVIDIA is doing with the GeForce GTX 980 Ti...

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980Ti Review

What train of thought are you part of? One who appreciates R&D or one who complains that things are proprietary? Investing in R&D pushes technology to its limits and in the end the reward for the investment is its benefit to the consumer. 65% of R&D is proprietary, while the other 35 percent flows over. Let me ask you this, if you spend your money and time to research and develop a widget that will give you the edge over your competitor, are you going to give them the technology so they can compete equally with you? Unless you’re a fool probably not. Then why still bite the apple when someone cries foul? The only reason why they are crying foul is because they don’t have the investment capital for R&D and are relying on others to do what they cannot for free. This is why a lot of open source projects fail.

Just a little over a year ago NVIDIA launched Gameworks, if you’re not familiar with Gameworks, it is a division of NVIDIA whose focus is on the research and development of technologies that give game developers (vis SDK and API) the option to integrate a more cinematic and interactive gaming experience into their projects. The most familiar Gameworks technologies are PhysX, HBAO+, TXAA and MFAA and most recently PCSS which can be found in Grand Theft Auto 5. The newest emerging Gameworks Technology is VR (Virtual Reality) an API for developers to use that provides Multi-res shading, VR SLI, Context priority, Direct Mode, Front Buffer Rendering.

Nvidia GTX 980 Ti

You might be wondering what I’m doing posting on a Sunday night but with Computex starting in Taiwan there are a ton of things getting announced or about to get announced. You see a lot of people think that CES is the big event each year for PC hardware but CES is really for consumer electronics where Computex has more of a focus on PC hardware. So with that Nvidia has stepped up and is introducing their GTX 980 Ti. While the launch is exciting, it is a little surprising to see them launch now, before AMD launches their 300 Series cards. Typically companies leave an ace in the hole so Nvidia must be really confident that AMD doesn’t have what it takes to outperform the GTX 980 Ti. While we won’t know that until AMD launches their cards, what we can do today is run the GTX 980 Ti through our benchmark suite and see just how it compares to what is available today.

Nvidia's GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card reviewed

You knew it was coming. When Nvidia introduced the GeForce Titan X, it was only a matter of time before a slightly slower, less expensive version of that graphics card hit the market. That's pretty much how it always happens, and this year is no exception.

Samsung Wireless Streaming Hard Drive Review

While many users these days may have several terabytes of PC storage space, mobile storage is yet to catch up. Many phones come with just 16GB of internal storage, while 128GB is just about as good as it gets. This means most users simply cannot fit their media collections on their mobile devices – which is far from ideal.

Silicon Power Armor A60 USB 3.0 Portable HDD Review

After releasing the rugged Armor A30 model, Silicon Power went ahead and upgraded it with a new Armor A60 model, which has passed the military drop-test standards (MIL-STD 810G), including the specific height free fall test of 122cm. Additionally, the product is water resistant by supporting the IPX4 standard while the internal Toshiba MQ01ABB200 drive is equipped with a G-force sensor for protecting itself when large vibrations are detected or when it falls off the surface.

The New Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti: Features and Tech Overview

Nvidia is at it again with another major launch shoring up a strong start to the upcoming Computex Event. Now with Computex 2015 Nvidia has dropped something which has been rumored for awhile: the GTX 980 Ti!

The 980 Ti has been “The Unicorn” product like we see almost every new GPU series launch where we all know that the current flagship is temporary and likely will be upstaged after the monster uber high end model drops. In this case it started with the 970 and 980 with the later following TITAN X. Now we all know the TITAN X is not for everyone, actually it’s for a very small subset of people who are insane enough to feel they need such a card or multiples of them (Myself included) but in reality when we are talking enthusiast gamers the 970/980 is about where most of the upper end gamers fall into, and with that the new 980 Ti looks to slot itself into a spot that will make the definition of flagship products move up yet another notch.

The GTX 980 Ti is looking to fill he $649 Price point pushing the 980 into the $499 category which is also a nice break for anyone looking to add another 980 to their rig. With 6GB of VRAM and what looks like a massively powerful engine to drive the beast I can only say that if it is as good in practice as it is on paper this could be one hell of a beastly card for the price point and will really put a lot of pressure on AMD for the 3XX series cards to be crowd pleasers.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review

Having launched the GeForce GTX Titan X a bit over 2 months ago, NVIDIA is back to launch their second GM200 card, GeForce GTX 980 Ti. Based on a cut-down version of GM200, GTX 980 Ti is the expected junior version of GTX Titan X, delivering GM200 at a cheaper price point. But calling GTX 980 Ti a cheaper GM200 may be selling it short; “cheaper” implies that GTX 980 Ti is a much lesser card. At $649, GTX 980 Ti is definitely cheaper, but the card that is launching today is not to be underestimated. GTX 980 Ti may be intended to be GTX Titan X’s junior, but with the excellent performance it delivers, GTX 980 Ti may as well be GTX Titan X itself.

The NVIDIA GTX 980Ti Performance Review

When NVIDIA launched their TITAN X, everyone knew the GTX 980 Ti wouldn’t be too far behind. Based on the same GM200 core as its bigger brother, this new card is meant to lead a more affordable (yes, you read that right) lineup into the DX12 era while also preempting the upcoming launch of AMD’s Fiji architecture.

For the last two generations, the cadence of NVIDIA’s product lineup has followed a lock-step approach and this time is no different except for a few points. The last high end Ti-series card was the GTX 780 Ti, a product launched in response to AMD’s extremely competitive R9 290X. It was able to pull away from the Radeon lineup’s darling while also consuming less power and providing a substantially quieter gaming experience.

The situation this time around, almost 19 months later, is significantly different. Other than the R9 295X2, AMD has failed to launch any product refreshes that put pressure on NVIDIA’s high end Maxwell cards. As a result the GTX 980 and subsequent GM200-based TITAN X found themselves all alone, competing against the nearly two year old R9 290X. Nonetheless, the GTX 980 Ti is still being rolled out as NVIDIA keeps marching lock-step with their roadmap regardless of what AMD does.
