NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti Review Round-Up

The biggest news in gaming announced at Computex so far has been NVIDIA’s launch of the GTX 980 Ti at a surprisingly low $649 price tag. Initial rumours suggested that MSRP was going to be around $800 but the lower price is even made surprising by the fact that the GTX 980 has also been lowered now to $499 which is great news for those looking to upgrade. If you bought a GTX 980 a few weeks ago however, I feel really sorry for you. The GTX 980Ti is similar to the TITAN X, both based on the GM200 GPU but obviously some parts will be truncated, with the GTX 980Ti having 256 less cores and 16 less texture units since two of the SMM engines are disabled. Memory is similar at 6GB running at 7000MHz on a 384-bit bus and a 1000MHz core clock.
