If this is true and nothing is changed except the memory size,then the 980ti will be faster&cheaper than the titan x.:)
And quite to be expected considering the last gen titan vs 780ti.

I'll have to say that this is probably not true (no offense to you Hilbert, as you said it's just a rumor).
This is pretty much the same GPU as Titan X, just with less VRAM. Titan X doesn't have the DP performance that other Titans had in order to justify the price point, so if these said rumors were true nobody would buy the Titan X for any reason. Not even future proofing. When we get games to use more than 6GB of VRAM, these GPUs won't be powerful enough anyway.
And the difference in DP between the 980 and the Titan X is not that big. They won't be able to handicap the 980Ti DP performance enough to make Titan X feasible.
My 2 cents. I could be wrong, but I don't see Nvidia completely sabotaging the number of Titan X sells.
EDIT: If I think about it.. If this 980Ti would be around 850-900$ the Titan X would still be feasible. 100$ extra could justify the extra 6GB of VRAM on the Titan X. But 900$ for the 980Ti is above AMD's intended 390x price. It all depends whether the 390x will be competitive since the leaked slides are not accurate (the Titan X performance in those slides was quite off).

Changed the wording a little,
You guys need to realize one thing though. How many people are actually buying a 1K USD Titan X and how many WOULD buy this potential 599~699 USD 980 Ti especially with AIB partners custom edition in mind?
NV has all the reason to release this model -> volume sales.
xIcarus
That makes sense actually. The Ti will most definitely sell much more than that Titan X.
The only problem is that current X owners will get the middle finger. Which is not something Nvidia hasn't done before actually, but this time it's worse.

Well I personally think it will sell, I believe it will sell better than the Titan or any 980 with 8GB, if they happen to release such a card.
I wonder, cutting down on CUDA cores sounds reasonable, but they can't toy with the 384bit bus, can they? Because that could a point that would technically put the TitanX above any 980Ti, if the Ti had 256bit memory bus (which I think doesn't work with 6GB VRAM?)

I'm curious to see how the Ti's appearance on the market might make 980s drop in price, since they could have about 115-150% the performance of a 980, but most likely won't cost 50% more. 😉

According to wikipedia, 780 was $649 at launch, and the Ti was $699 at launch. Following the Ti launch, the 780 dropped to $499.

Product positioning-wise, this could be a repeat of the 780ti. That really screwed Titan owners since it was released not long after but was $300 cheaper. So dont be too surprised if Titan-x owners see the same. Only consolation for them is the more (but almost useless) extra vram.

Blimey if this is true and the 980 Ti is the same full fat GM200 that the X is but with 6GB I may have get me one! It'll probably be around £200 cheaper and the same if not better performance out of the box if those rumoured clock freq's are to be belived!
fantaskarsef
You're giving me ideas Ex....

The only thing standing in the way of this rumor is binning. What's happening to all the imperfect GM200s if 980Ti silicon is also peachy...
Spets
That's what I was thinking, surely the 980Ti would be a cut down GM200.
RavenMaster
Last time around I bought 2x of the original 6GB Titans for 2 grand. Then realised that the original 780's were almost offering the same performance for half the price. So I sold the Titans and bought 3x 780's for 1500 bucks. Better performance and I'd made back 500 bucks in the re-sale.
So yeah, I wouldn't put it past NVidia to do something this stupid again. And I know i'll be buying a couple of 980Ti's and not the Titan X this time.
serbicu
It's not stupid what Nvidia is doing at all,it's actually clever.
If u wanna be the first one to have the best single GPU on the market for the next 2-3 months, then it's your choice.
Nobody is putting a gun to your head to buy anything really...

I know a way they could cut the 980ti down is by having a 5.5 + 0.5gb setup lol jk.
But seriously now. and I though that the 980ti is supposed to be a dumbed down version of the Titian X which means a tad less Cuda Cores and a tad less ROPs. But according to these rumored specs other than VRAM it is exactly the same. To me it looks like Nvidia is competing against itself and AMD. I hope that this does not happen.
serbicu
Not really, I think Titan x is a limited number release card,overpriced, and Nvidia will still make profit.:)
serbicu
So true.
TheDeeGee
Too much money?
koliko
As a potential buyer i dont see anything but good in that news.
Bring fully unlocked 980ti for 700$-750$ anytime :banana:
Bentez
As a 780 owner this news interests me greatly, I was pretty set on getting the 390x. If this leak is accurate then I might stay with the green team once again.
