An Nvidia engineer has responded to the rumors stating that the GTX 980 Ti release date has been cancelled.
CrossTheGap has reported that it has been rumored that the GTX 980 Ti release date has been cancelled following Nvidia's decision to work on a new graphics chip that would be used in their next line-up of graphics cards.
However, according to the report by Cyberland, an Nvidia engineer allegedly leaked the GTX 980 Ti release date on his LinkedIn profile by stating that he worked on the development of the GTX 980 Ti and that he reportedly revealed that the GTX 980 Ti release date was allegedly tentatively set for June 2015.
"Some dude who worked on the GTX 980 Ti posted on his LinkedIn account that it would be out this June. I know Nvidia is planning to announce the 980 Ti on GDC but this is something" wrote Cyberland.
Previously, KpopStarz reported that rumors suggest that the GTX 980 Ti release date has been delayed to 2016.
"Nvidia moved the GTX980 Ti release date to 2016 amid rumors of production problems. Fans will have to wait another year for the much-anticipated graphics card GTX 980 Ti," KpopStarz wrote.
It should be noted that Joffy S of GameDebate reported that the GTX 980 Ti would be at least be 50 percent faster than one of the fastest single GPU cards in the market today.
"Initial specs (of the GTX 980 Ti) put this monstrous Maxwell-powered graphics card at roughly 50% more powerful than the GTX Titan Black," wrote GameDebate. "That's some serious power under the hood, but where does it all come from? Firstly, the GM200 GPU will be on a 551mm2 die, with an estimated 20-22 Streaming Multiprocessors Maxwell (SMM) giving a total of between 2560 and 2816 CUDA cores. This will all be on a 384-bit memory bus, up from the 256-bit bus seen on the GeForce GTX 980 and the GeForce GTX 970."
GameDebate then continued, "In total this makes the theoretical performance of the GeForce GTX 980 around 50% faster than the GTX Titan Black, so if these specs are true then we've got one heck of a powerful card."
