980 Ti may be interesting, but I would prefer a better SLI solution. Will these still use the old bridges instead of the PCIE lanes?
Yep. Any changes will have to wait for Pascal at the earliest.

Your Dad's a gamer !!?D:Awesome. Just bought a new monitor and kvm last night. This will go nicely with it. I will give my gtx 770 2gb to my dad so he can do sli.

kewl brah :thumbsup:
If Nvidia or any AIB make water cooled GTX 980Ti there will be one VERY HAPPY CloudfireI would like a 980 Ti with AIB cooling with sintered heatpipes.
The problem is that we have no new names after 900 series. GTX 780Ti was the equal card to GTX Titan.
Since GTX 980 is used, a "Ti" prefix after that is the only name thats appropriate for a equal card to Titan X. GTX 980 Ti.
Other names is saved for Pascal.
In fact, it wouldnt surprise me to see Nvidia saving up broken GM200 chips for a dual GTX 990 card later. One with 2 x 2560 cores.
Think about it. GTX 980 is a 165W TDP card.
GTX 680 was 195W GPU. Nvidia built a GTX 690 with two of those chips.
A 2560 chip with 500 more cores than GTX 980 should have just about the same TDP as the chips on GTX 690.
GTX 980: 2048 cores - R9 290X competitor
(GTX 970Ti: 2560 cores - R9 390 competitor)
GTX 980Ti: 3072 cores - R9 390X competitor
GTX 990: 2 x 2560 cores - R9 395X2 competitor
Maybe?
Read what I posted again, I`m not talking about using full GM200.You are using 2 different chips as one the 980 doesn't use the same silicon as Titan. GM200x2 would be like Titan-Z and need water cooling.
Yep. Any changes will have to wait for Pascal at the earliest.
I want a GTX 960 TI! Itching for an upgrade and it's exactly what I'm looking for...
That, and also something between the 60w 750Ti and the 120w 960 (measured as high as 140-something watts by TPU).
They could call it the GTX 985(Ti). They have had the 275 and 285 before.The problem is that we have no new names after 900 series. GTX 780Ti was the equal card to GTX Titan.

I've got a hunch that Pascal is going to be similar to Maxwell architecturally (though modified considerable for double-presicion on the high end) with 16nm+/14nmFF and HBM2 giving it the big boost.Looks like a lot of new tech is going into Pascal all at once, along with a new node. A very risky move.
