LOL - okay so I just performed a search on GeForce GTX 980 at geizhals.at, an EU based price-watch engine. It started listing a GeForce GTX 980 entry. Few details are listed however there are some very interesting specs listed. it confirmes that the card has 4GB graphics memory on a 256-bit bus. But here's more interesting info, the entry also lists the number of Shader processors at 2560 with 160 TMUs (texture memory units) and 64 ROPs.
The card would be dual-slot in configuration and has two 6-pin power connectors. Other then that noting is listed. There is a mistake in the listing though as it states GM104 "Maxwell" which would be GM204.
- Chip: GM104 "Maxwell"
- Memory: 4 GB GDDR5, 256bit
- Shader units / TMU / ROP: 2560/160/64
- Fab: 28nm
- Shader model 5.0
- Interface: PCIe 3.0 x16
- Slot: dual-slot
- Power: 2x 6-pins PCIe
Anyway, nothing is certain with this information. Check it here.
More news though as two Gigabyte cards, the 970 and 980 started listing at a website called Synnex.
Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming (GV_N970GI_GAMING_4GD)
NVIDIA GTX970 128*32 DDR5 256 BIT
Gigabyte GTX 980 (GV_N980D5_4GD_B)
NVIDIA GTX980 256BIT/4096MB/PCI-E 3.0/128*32 DDR5 256 BIT
