According to Swedish online magazine, Sweclockers, NVIDIA is getting ready for a mid-year launch of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card. If the report is true, the upcoming card will be based on same GM200 GPU that powers the GeForce GTX Titan X. As we all know, the GTX Titan X is currently the most powerful single GPU graphics card with 12GB of GDDR5 video memory.

The rumored GTX 980 Ti will sport the same fully-enabled GM200 GPU, with all 3,072 CUDA cores ready to perform the graphics compute heavy lifting. However, its GDDR5 video memory will be pared down to 6GB, which is half of that of the GTX Titan X. Details of its clocks speeds are still under wraps, and it appears NVIDIA will give its add-in card partners free reign to implement customized cooling solutions. As a result, we will be expecting factory overclocked cards from them at launch. As noted by techPowerUp, the rumored launch of GTX 980 Ti may be timed as a riposte to AMD’s launch of its Radeon R9 390X graphics card.
