Very interesting move on Nvidia's part. I wonder if they are going to beef these cards up like a 900 series card should be vs 700 series.

ROFL, and with higher part numbers come higher _________? I love the buildup to GPU releases, they are always fraught with a truckload of manure.

r9-295X vs 980GTX in same row, what a great comparison 😀 They make it look like some mofo gpu, but in end what GM204? EDIT: nvm I see he's speculating and why he made this awful chart. Also " because nothing except 4GB 256b memory configuration, has been confirmed. " then means GM204 only.

Come on guys, bigger numbers always mean bigger performance!

Just another name for the same product. Too tired to get excited.

I just realised, because of such re-numbering, I could possibly claim to have jumped from nvidias 5xx to the 9xx cards. It just reads different I'd say 😀

New names and numbers do not make a crap GPU any better.

I seriously doubt they will use the 1080 name, synonymous with 1080p at about the time they will probably be trying to flaunt their 4k capable cards!

Didn't gigabyte actually confirm the 880 though?

Yes, but if this story is true, then they'll be called the 980s.

Evga once confirmed a 7800 TI 6Gig edition, that never happened also :P

You meant 780 Ti 6GB and it *should* have happened since I'd hope for an EVGA Step-up program to exchange my 3GB to 6GB 🙂 Would be a happy gamer.

So we can expect R9285/285X, R9295/295X to counter 960/970/980GTX? It will be interesting end of the year but i don't think i'll upgrade.

I think, that they'll change the naming convention completely after the 9xx series. P.S. THEY ARE OVER 900!!!(sorry, couldn't resist 😀)

Partially why I added the rolleyes. Who knows what derp naming scheme they'll come up with then.

That was nvidia being greedy so they could keep titan selling if they had released the 6gb780ti that card would have no reason to exsist even tho it shouldnt because of the rediculous cost.

This is interesting news. So be it then! Let's see what these cards are made of. I want to see some final specs.

would be great,i havent eaten today. depending on performance i would go for a 970 or 980

That would be more of a side grade..Unless you really want that 10-30% boost, what 5-15fps here and there.. GM200 will have a bigger gap, probably the same as to what GF110 is GK110 now, literally 1x faster. 🤓

I wonder if this has anything to do with the logistical preparation for when Volta Comes out. It would make sense to me that when they come out with volta and their own version of PCI-E that they would possibly want to switch to a different number pattern.

NVidia can't release their own version of PCI-E. PCI-SIG controls all PCI specifications, including PCI-E.
