[VC]NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, GTX 980 SLI, GTX 970, 3DMark performance

NV will charge as much as they think they can sell their cards for. If people continue to buy them at a high price they will keep on selling them for that much.

Solution don't buy the cards at the high price, ether buy AMD or wait.

That link appears to be broken. What did it say? That information will be released the 17th or that the reviews will be up or that cards will be available on the 17th....?

Here is Videocardz's write up using the information from the Chinese links above. A bunch of stuff in there. 1664 Cores. 1050 Mhz clock speed. 7Ghz memory.

I'm thinking the full 980 will have 1920 cores, and the 970 will have two SMMs (128 cores each) disabled. at 1920 cores, that makes GM204 3x the number of cores as GM107.

Edit: Isn't that 3dMark11 score just barely over a 770s?

 

[DiogoDX]

So maxwell "IPC" increase and boost to almost 1200mhz are puting this cards in the 780Ti and 780 performance. The 4GB minimum will make a nice upgrade from people that have 770 and below.

Sounds right. 1920 for 980.

Remember its tested using an i3.

A GTX770 with an i7 4790 gives around 4000. And with a with a 3970X you get around 5000 with a GTX770.

 

[Enigmoid]

Its using a 4130, not too sure how much that is going to affect the score.

edit: shintai beat me

 

[FatherMurphy]

Good point. That Core i3 must be a serious bottleneck for this card, if its performance is around or above that of a GTX 780/r9 290.

That is with Core i7 3960X @ 4.6GHz, GTX770 score at 3656

Edit: With R9 285, same CPU

If those specs (1920 cores) are correct, it seams to me GM204 will replace GTX770 at $400 and not GK110 cards.

I took my numbers of the 3Dmark website.

In time. But as it seems right now it outperforms GK110.

If you are talking about those 3D MARK 11 scores it doesnt.

80% on X preset in 3D MARK 11 score is Graphics, 10% is Physics and 10% combined. So CPU doesnt affect the overall score that much.

I thought people like you had alot of focus on API overhead. What CPU was used again on the GTX 970?

 

[Cloudfire777]

CPU performance in total score and how much it drags it down is one thing.

Testing an i3 processor with a GTX 780 on Extreme preset might also bottleneck the GPU, dragging the GPU score down plus the combined score.

Suddenly it drags all 3 scores down, resulting in a very low total score...

So you wouldn't mind running the test on a P4 Prescott then? Core2Duo even?

You guys are awesome. Thanks.

 

[boozzer]

could someone do a tldr? performance wise? it's bang for your buck compare to amd and 7000 series nv cards. or is it too soon and we need to wait for game benchmarks?

LOL, yeah it's too soon to do a bang for the buck comparison. All of this crap so far is conjecture, FUD, and rumor. Wait till you see official benchmarks.

 

[rgallant]

could be why they oc'd it to make up for the crap cpu

 

[alcoholbob]

Yep, I figured the 980 would be 1920 cores. I made a post about a month ago pointing out that the original rumors from nearly a year ago were probably going to end up being true: 10% faster than 780ti, 1920 cores for the 980 and 1664 cores for the 970. The 2560 core card is probably actually the Titan II. If you think the base design of 2nd gen Maxwell is going to be similar to first gen Maxwell, then you know that Maxwell does not fit as many cores per die space as Kepler does, even if the cores themselves are 35% more efficient, they end up taking 12% more space on average. So the math works out for a 2560 core big die Titan II, run the card at 20% higher clock speed and voila! There's your 45-50% performance increase over the Titan.

Edit: Sorry those were 3D MARK not 3D MARK 11 scores

Edit 2 : Bellow are the scores at 3D MARK 11 (X preset)

Core i3 4130 + GTX780Ti Score = 5200

Core i3 4130 + GTX780 Score = 4228
