Geforce GTX 980 Alleged Benchmark and TDP Surfaces - Just 170W for ~110% 780 Ti Performance

[Rumor] Declared benchmarks and TDP numbers of the Geforce GTX 980 flagship have surfaced over at Chiphell Forums. Yet, considering that the source is not actually h2o tight, I will be tagging this post as rumor, and handing out all the pinches-of-table salt and have-at-face-value disclaimers that go on with information technology. As far as the leak goes, information technology makes sense from a marketing stand point, so I am inclined to believe it'south truthful. Maxwell-GTX-980-

Nvidia GTX 980 Will Sip 170W and Offering ~10% More Power Over the 780 Ti - Alleges Leak

The leak is basically a comparing of the GTX 970 and the 980 and for this purpose the OP has used 3DMark Extreme and Performance benchmarks. The Geforce GTX 980 scores a Firestrike Extreme benchmark of 5500 and a 3DMark Firestrike Performance benchmark of 15000, all the while consuming a ability of '160-170W'. The 970 scores were leaked before the nomenclature switch but names don't impact a card's performance ofcourse, and then nosotros are looking at a P Score of around 12000. Now, it is likewise mentioned that the card has 32 ROPs and 128 TMUs, which is something that is readily deduce-able. So far, history has shown that Nvidia has followed the Double-decker-ROP ratio of 8 to the letter, meaning that the 980 is going to accept 32 ROPs if its going to take 256 Fleck Bus Width. In comparison a stock GTX 780 Ti aka the full fat GK110 scores a score of effectually 5000 at stock clocks which makes this a ~10% increase over the same.

Introducing a carte du jour that ups the performance by any meaning amount while lowering power consumption in the same go is a very difficult feat and could be what Nvidia has done with the Geforce 900 series. The carte scores +500 in Firestrike Extreme, while the carte du jour's power consumption is reduced past 80W. This amounts to a ~60% Performance Per Watt increase on the same procedure which is pretty damn impressive. This also reminded me of all the $499 price rumors of the 980. A card that beats the 780 Ti with a $499 cost tag should hold its own very easily till AMD rolls out their side by side gen GPUs.The GTX 980 will exist landing on the 19th of September co-ordinate to reports and rumors and will exist launching forth side the GTX 970 with the mobility series following soon later. Nvidia is preparing quite a big reveal event for it besides, every bit tin can be evident from the Game 24 upshot that has been scheduled. All these leaks and rumors will exist laid to residue in ii weeks time and we volition finally know for certain, only what exactly Nvidia has been cooking for so long.

#Nvidia GTX 980 with 170W TDP, 110% 780 Ti performance and $499? Hmm, could happen. http://t.co/gDLXkl0BFv
