Nvidia GTX 980 Specs Leak all over the WWW

Published 2014-09-18 10:09 by Hilbert Hagedoorn

For a long time there have been many rumors on the new Maxwell based graphics cards from Nvidia. Two weeks ago the release date was shared to be 19 September through a teaser. Several photo's and even benchmarks have surfaced as well. Now the GTX 980 specs have leaked as well, according to the source being the final specs. If the specs are correct, we can't just say just yet.

As rumored the GTX 980 will be based with the new Maxwell GPU, the GM204 and will have 5.2 Billion transistors with a 398 mm2 die size. The GM204 would have 2MB L2 cache, 128 Texture Mapping Units and 64 Raster Operating Units. According to the leaked spec list the GTX 980 would be clocked at 1126 MHz with a turbo to 1216 MHz. The 980 would get 2048 shader processors. The gDDR5 memory would be 4 GB and is clocked at 1750 MHz on a 256-bit wise bus.

At the connector end you'll find two 6-pin power connectors. The card should have a TDP of 165 Watt. Expected is a HDMI 2.0 port and three DP ports.

As stated we cannot verify this information to be correct, for that you will have to wait until the launch later in the night CEST.
