With this year’s AMD graphics cards expected to come equipped with the company’s new High Bandwidth Memory, which looks exceptionally promising, NVIDIA is going to have a hard time competing with its own hardware. Aside from a few hiccups regarding the GTX 970, NVIDIA definitely won last year’s GPU wars, but will it be able to do the same this year? If these leaked GTX 980 Ti specs are anything to go by, it definitely stands a good chance.

You want to know what nVidia’s upcoming GTX 980 Ti is all about, right? So do we, and so when a couple of pictures of the card and a screenshot of GPU-Z appeared online, seemingly breaking down all of the different aspects of it, we couldn’t not post it. It is, however, unconfirmed, and specific details that could verify it were deliberately omitted, so take it with a pinch of salt as not all may be accurate. With that disclaimer out of the way, the phantom 980 Ti showcased in this screengrab is quite a powerful piece of kit. It sits roughly between the standard 980 and the Titan X with 2816 shader units and a core clocked at 1000MHz at stock, which can be boosted to 1076MHz. There’s 6GB of GDDR5 on board, with a 384-bit interface, which works out to just under 367GB/s of bandwidth. Although its naming might suggest that this is a beefed up GTX 980, those specs would peg it as more like a slightly cut-back Titan X (albeit with half as much memory), as it features the same stock core and memory clocks, as well as the same size memory-bus.
