NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Specs

The 1080 Ti has to be one of the best cards ever made. Nvidia made it so good that even the next gen 2080 couldn't outright beat it for a while. I got it for my brother and it's still a solid card.

thank god I built my PC just before the shortage!

Gaming Laptop starting doing this over a year ago. I lost hope but recently decided to get it fixed. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I appreciate any help I get! Thanks! (Some specs in the comments)

Daily Simple Questions Thread - Jul 17, 2020

The GeForce GTX 980 Ti and GeForce GTX Titan X were essentially tied here, while the GeForce GTX 980 landed about 20fps behind at 1080p. It was also substantially less capable at 4K, where the GeForce GTX 980 Ti's 6GB of RAM likely gave it an extra edge. The Radeon R9 295X2 continued to dominate in terms of raw frame rates.

 Somewhat surprisingly, too, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti slightly bested the GeForce GTX Titan X on a few of our tests. The GeForce GTX 980 Ti's edge is likely due primarily to driver updates since we tested the GeForce GTX Titan X a few months ago. Still, given the price difference, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti is the clear choice between the two for those primarily interested in PC gaming.

 (See this PDF link for the details on the PSU recommendations.(Opens in a new window)) Suffice it to say that while AMD continues to deliver a solid value in terms of raw performance, its cards that were current at the time of this writing (in late May 2015) had power requirements that have looked more and more out of sync with every new Maxwell-based card that Nvidia launches.

 And, interestingly, none of these cards hit 30 frames per second (fps) at these settings. To be fair, though, at that resolution, you could probably drop the AA setting back from 8X to 2X (or even switch it off) without noticing much, if any, difference.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review

 If anything, the performance will degrade. Some features of PS will no longer be available to you because the integrated graphics can't handle it - which means the tasks that can be offloaded to the GPU to perform will no longer even be options for you. 

Yea, pretty much. Right now I would not recommend upgrading. With all the lockdowns and what-not affecting the supply chain prices have jumped significantly. 

. - but the reduction in RAM and the reduction in graphics card capabilities are a one-two punch that will not result in any performance increase. If anything, the performance will degrade. Some features of PS will no longer be available to you because the integrated graphics can't handle it - which means the tasks that can be offloaded to the GPU to perform will no longer even be options for you

I edit hundreds of high resolution photos each week and time is a precious commodity. My current setup is 5 years old, I was thinking about doing this upgrade before something breaks to avoid downtime.

Current Setup: 

* HP Envy 
* i7 6700K
* 64GB (2666)
* Nvidia 980 TI

Considering this setup:

* Precision 3650 
* i7 11700 (or 11900)
* 32GB (3400)
* UHD integrated graphics


Is this a terrible idea? Is there an off the shelf and available configuration that you would recommend?

Editing Rig Suggestions

 This, in a nutshell, is what makes GTX 980 Ti a deceptive card, and is why it’s going to have such a large impact on the high-end market.  Shifting gears, let’s talk about pricing, availability, and the competition. The GTX 980 Ti will be a hard launch, with cards going on sale on June 1st. Due to the fact that Computex is taking place this week in Taiwan and GTX 980 Ti is one of the products NVIDIA is launching at the show, NVIDIA has lifted the embargo on GTX 980 Ti at an atypical 6pm Eastern, which for Taiwan and Computex is June 1st, 6am local time

 NVIDIA then followed that up in March with the launch of the GeForce GTX Titan X, NVIDIA’s true flagship Maxwell part, and a part that only served to further cement their lead. Based on the very powerful (and very large) GM200 GPU, GTX Titan X is currently untouched in performance. However priced at $1000, it is also currently untouched in price. In NVIDIA’s current lineup there is a rather sizable gap between the $550 GTX 980 and $1000 GTX Titan X, and perhaps more significantly GTX Titan X was the only GM200 part on the market

 And finally, GTX 980 Ti retains all 96 ROPs and 3MB of L2 cache, which means that in pixel-heavy situations like 4K it is as no disadvantage compared to GTX Titan X. Consequently, looking at the specifications tells us that we should expect GTX 980 Ti to be 8% slower than GTX Titan X, a result of losing 2 SMMs. Coupled with the difference in VRAM between the two cards, this would put a decent gap between the two cards. However as we’ll see in our benchmarks, reality begs to differ

 Meanwhile for pricing, the GTX 980 Ti will be launching at $649. This is an increasingly persistent price point for NVIDIA that has fluctuated a bit over the last couple of years, with the GTX 780 launching at $649 as well, only for the GTX 780 Ti to launch at $699. The launch of GTX 980 Ti at $649 will be putting pressure on the rest of NVIDIA’s product stack from both above and below. In response to this launch NVIDIA is officially cutting the price of the GTX 980 from $549 to $499 in order to open up a bit more room between the cards and to keep GTX 980 Ti from making GTX 980 redundant
