GeForce GTX 980 Ti owners will get first dibs on a GTX 1080 Ti, per Nvidia’s job listing.

Finally, we have received the pricing information on NVIDIA’s Maxwell GM200 based GeForce GTX 980 Ti Graphics card which will be officially discharged on 2nd June. It appears like the bits of gossip were valid as the GM200-310 powered will be sold for $799. About $800 Price tag is just 200 dollars below the GTX Titan X and 250 dollars over the GM204 based GTX 980.

Nvidia’s GTX 980 Ti 6GB GDDR5 Retail Price Confirmed at the $799

We have known that the 980 Ti was coming for quite some time now. Yield theory also dictated that it would be a cut GM200 core, so the only thing that actually remained to be answered was the pricing. It looks like Nvidia is following its core competency when it comes to pricing and marking the card slightly above its apparent fair value. Since the card houses a GM200 core, it was going to be priced above the GTX 980 but since it was cut, it had to be significantly less than the GTX Titan X price tag. Setting an MSRP of $799 and targeting the $800 price point means that Nvidia will be generating significant revenues in the long run. All eyes would be now on AMD for the Fiji launch but with 4GB of vRAM (albeit HBM), something that is a tad on the sparse side in today’s era, we appear to be looking for a miracle.

Apart from reference version we have also information about different EVGA versions of the GTX 980 Ti. Right away lets begin with the least expensive. The costs specified are comprehensive of expense I may include so there will be a 20-30 dollar variance depending on where you are in the world. The GEFORCE GTX980TI REFERENCE card will be dispatched in $799. The GEFORCE GTX 980 Ti with the EVGA ACX2.0+ cooling solution will be transported at the same cost of the reference card will most likely be constrained to OEMs only. At that point we have the Overclocked EVGA GEFORCE GTX980TI SuperClocked edition with ACX2.0+ cooling with a retail price of $810. The most expensive class in EVGA’s lineup is the EVGA GEFORCE GTX 980Ti SC+ (With Back Plate) and the ACX2.0+ cooling solution. This GPU will be sold for $827.
