The new NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti features are claimed to be tailored for 4K PC gaming. This new graphics card will serve as the successor of the previous flagship model, the GTX 980.
International Business Times reports that the new flagship NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti sports an aluminum casing that makes it appropriate for 4K gaming support. Games such as "The Witcher 3" were stated able to run at 45FPS which is a huge rise from the 19FPS at 4K resolution on the GTX 680. The same goes for the forthcoming title, Project Cars 2 that is looking at a 47FPS work on the latest GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
It is said that this NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti is built on the GM200 GPU, which is similar to what powers the TITAN X with a few sections of the die being lasered out. As for the replacement of 24 Maxwell Streaming Multiprocessors, the 980 Ti acquires 22 that are still way bigger than the 16 SMMs that the GTX 980 has to play with. In comparison to the TITAN X, it drops out on a few TMUs and CUDA cores while keeping a similar amount of ROPs, Digit wrote.
Moreover, since the 980 Ti has been made using GM200, this gives another benefit of getting the same amount of memory bandwidth, a full 384-bit wide bus. The GTX 980 Ti also has the access to 6 GB of VRAM which is clocked at 1753 MHz.
Kpopstarz noted that the GeForce GTX 980 Ti will arrive with 2,816 CUDA cores which is less than the GTX Titan X, for it has 3,072 CUDA cores on. The chip will have 176 of texture mapping units as contradicted to the GTX Titan X that has 192. The GM200-310 GPU, which is less powerful than the Titan card's GM200-400 GPU was reported to be utilized by the GTX 980 Ti.
One report has stated that the NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti is a worthy addition to the Maxwell family that sits securely between the GTX TITAN X on one side and the GTX 980 on the other. The new GTX 980 Ti can be purchased at Rs. 54,000.
