After an endless stream of rumours, renders, and cheeky tweets, AMD is finally on the cusp of releasing a brand new flagship graphics card. We know that it'll feature a huge 1024-bit memory bus featuring AMD's innovative high bandwidth memory, and that it'll only have 4GB of it. We also know roughly what it'll look like, if the renders and tweets are to be believed. What we don't have is a release date, even if an official announcement at Computex or E3 is likely. The Radeon R9 390X, or whatever it ends up being called, is an important product for a company that desperately needs a win right now to claw back the market share it's lost to rival Nvidia—AMD's last flagship single-GPU launched back in October of 2013.
It's an exciting time for AMD, then. Typically enough, though, Nvdia's here to rain on AMD's parade. There's no shiny new tech or architecture change this time, but the brand new GTX 980 Ti is one of Nvidia's most aggressive graphics card launches to date—even more so than the exceptionally good value GTX 970, which got you most of the GTX 980's performance at nearly half the price.
The GTX 980 Ti is priced at £550 ($650/€740), features 6GB of GDDR5 memory matched to a 384-bit bus, and is based on the same full-fat GM200 Maxwell chip as the £870 ($1000) Titan X. The card will be available worldwide at all the usual retailers this week.
