NVIDIA Readying GM200-based GeForce GTX 980 Ti
NVIDIA is preparing its second GeForce graphics card based on its 28 nm GM200 silicon, which powers the $1,000 GTX TITAN-X. There are several rumors surrounding what NVIDIA could name the card. Some sources suggest NVIDIA could name it the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, while others point at names such as the GTX 990 (to set it sufficiently apart from the smaller GM204-based GTX 980).
The SweClockers report that sides with GTX 980 Ti for the name, mentions that the card could feature the chip's full complement of 3,072 CUDA cores, but feature 6 GB of memory, compared to 12 GB on the GTX TITAN-X. The memory bus width will stay at 384-bit. NVIDIA could allow its add-in card (AIC) partners to come up with custom-design cards, and so we could expect some cards with meaty cooling solutions (that keep the chip away from its 84°C temperature-throttle), and factory-overclocked speeds, to make the GTX 980 Ti even faster than the GTX TITAN-X. NVIDIA could time its launch with AMD's launch of the Radeon R9 390X.

Do not compare Tesla Motors to Nvidia. They want to change the world and do not want only money like Nvidia. You can be sure if Tesla Motors had the same market share like Nvidia in video card market they would not sell overpriced products as Nvidia does. This is like comparing apples to oranges.
There is kind of empty unsatisfied feeling when taking more expensive card... and yet the gains are kind of... not worthy... For example like 7970 vs 290x was really... same 680 vs 780... OK Ti wasn't bad, but still it ain't a double. The tendency to make a second tier card as flagship for while is irritating.
Net Profit Margins
Intel +20.95%
Nvidia +13.47%
AMD -7.32%
AMD will be bankrupt if they continue the way they are. Yes, you enjoy getting GPUs from AMD for less money but do you see where that is taking AMD? Red is not just their trademark color, it's also the color of ink in their financial statements. They are in debt currently for the same amount as their Market Cap and are struggling to service their current debt and will only need to borrow more to continue.
Progress for future generations is allowed by all the money flowing through a company. The profit comes from all products, you are basically saying that the high volume mainstream products don't contribute at all or are not of so heavy importance. Which is basically wrong.
A company can drive its progress and in general progress even without profit at all. They just need to be at the zero point where their costs equal their incomes.
The huge amounts of profit are for the greedy to buy yachts, personal airplanes, to waste time and money on expensive unnecessary extras.
I do not know how that gave you all the thanks for nonsense.Look, nvidia is practically or close to a market with monopoly or duopoly. People simply have NO CHOICE. Because they are hardcore fanboys and don't wanna hear about AMD.
In that caase, yes, nvidia's products are extremely overpriced and the business model is working because technically there is no alternative from elsewhere.
People still have a choice. They can always buy AMD, or choose not to buy the top-tier Nvidia products and buy mid-range. Bottom line is ANY well run business is about making a profit, and will always charge what people are willing to pay. If the day comes when people refuse to buy a $1,000 GPU come then Nvidia won't charge that much.
The ASIC quality on mine is 72.3
All is enforced by the governments and those who "lead the way" and if they don't give you Titan X for 1000$, they would prefer to throw it to the trash instead of giving it away at fair prices. ;)
That condition exists now. If it didn't, Nvidia wouldn't make a profit.
The best game released this year, "Pillars of Eternity", can run even on a budget video card from 2 years ago with full details, while the graphics and gameplay is still splendid.
So again, why? :) :)
There are businesses, and of course you would not mention them, in which the buyer sets the rules and the seller is always on the losing side. And they have no choice because they will lose the business once and for all.
Try, for instance with automotive industry suppliers and automotive manufacturers.
Oki. :D :roll:
The bottom line is that it cost just as much in engineering, research, staff, facilities, cost of manufacturing GPU, supplying board partners with GPUs etc to bring us the Keplers as it did to bring us the Maxwells and that is why Nvidia is charging the same price for the Maxwells even though they are not as large of a performance increase as we are used to generation over generation.
I hope they choose the GTX 990 name over 980ti personally as they need to spread the two GPUs further apart in my opinion.
Also, anyone saying Titan X is more for the professional world and not marketed for gaming needs to read the box.
It's only major professional aspect is the ram which is good for people who do rendering for instance. (Not saying a box label is the only metric but it does point the card more one direction)
They realized most of the compute is done in video content creation, where billions of frames need to be rendered to finish the movie, these studios are always looking to have faster iteration of their production process.
You act like NVIDIA is running into peoples houses, grabbing their wads of cash while they sleep and leaving Titan X's under their pillows.
