Last March, NVIDIA announced the GeForce GTX Titan X during the GTC (GPU Technology Conference). It was only a matter of time before the chipmaker would release a Ti card as the latest addition to the Maxwell GPU lineup. Today, NVIDIA will debut the highly anticipated GTX 980 Ti at the Computex tradeshow in Taipei, Taiwan. The card should then be available at retail within the week. It is expected that NVIDIA's board partners will be releasing their own custom cards at the same time. At the time of writing it's not a secret that EVGA, ZOTAC, ASUS, and probably MSI will be joining the GTX 980 Ti bandwagon and releasing several SKUs with custom board designs and improved cooling solutions.

The GTX 980 Ti card is facing some high expectations, after the tremendous success of the GTX 980 and the Titan X being currently the uncontested king of single GPU cards. It also comes to a market that's anticipating the eternally rumored new Radeon cards from AMD. However, this new member of the Maxwell family has a great legacy and comes with some solid specs that should translate into great performance.
