Revealed: Nvidia's Next Flagship Graphics Card, the GTX 980Ti
New GeForce GPU carries 6GB of memory, costs $650.
Nvidia has divulged new details of its GeForce 980Ti, the latest addition to its line of premium-priced graphics cards.
Starting at $650 (and bundled with a copy of Batman: Arkham Knight), the GTX 980Ti carries six gigabytes of GDDR5 memory. That's about half the capacity of Nvidia's $1000 Titan X graphics card, but Nvidia believes the 980Ti can perform to a similar standard at about two-thirds of the price.
A gallery below offers a closer look at the new GPU.
Much like with the Titan X, the 980Ti has a 336GB/s maximum bandwidth. Its display outputs are 1x HDMI, 1x DVI, and 3x DP, while it has two power connectors arranged as 1x 6pin and 1x 8pin.
Meanwhile, the GTX 980, due to its drop down the pecking order, will now be sold at $500.
Nvidia's new GeForce prices follow:
- Titan X: $1000
- 980 Ti: $650
- 980: $500
- 970: $330
- 960: $200
Mark Aevermann, a spokesperson for Nvidia, told GameSpot that the GTX 980Ti was built with DirectX 12 features in mind.
"This is, by all rights, our flagship GeForce GTX GPU, built on the GM 200 chip," he said, "and we designed it for a lot of the top-end PC features, such as 4K, VR, and G-Sync. These are the things that this card excels at."
