"Industry analysts are predicting there will be more than 350 million PCs running Windows 10 within the first year of its release. That’s a lot of potential gamers. And with more than 100 developers working on DX12 games, now’s the perfect time to get ready," said Justin Walker, Product Manager, NVIDIA, in a blog post.
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti features 6GB of memory and enough CUDA cores to drive games at 4K resolution. The GTX 980 Ti also supports Microsoft’s new DirectX 12 graphics application programming interface, as does all GTX 900-series Maxwell GPUs.

Along with the new GPU, NVIDIA announced a new software development kit, GameWorks VR, to help virtual reality (VR) headset and game developers build new experiences on GeForce GPUs.
"In May, Oculus recommended that gamers run a GeForce GTX 970 or
higher GPU for the optimal experience with the upcoming Rift VR headset.
It’s no easy feat to drive stereo gaming on a high-resolution 2160×1200
display at 90Hz, with near-zero tolerance for latency or stutter," said Jason Paul, GM, NVIDIA, in a blog post.
GameWorks VR includes:
NVIDIA Multi-Res Shading (MRS) — A new rendering technique for VR. With NVIDIA MRS, each part of an image is rendered at a resolution that better matches the pixel density of the final VR image.
VR SLI — Provides increased performance for VR apps. Multiple GPUs can be assigned a specific eye to dramatically accelerate stereo rendering.
Context Priority — Support advanced VR features such as asynchronous time
warp. This cuts latency and quickly adjusts images as gamers move their
heads, without the need to re-render a new frame.
Direct Mode — Delivers plug-and-play compatibility for VR headsets. With Direct Mode, the NVIDIA graphics driver recognises the headset as a VR display rather than a standard desktop monitor, providing a more seamless user experience.
An alpha version of the GameWorks VR software development kit is already in the hands of VR industry players such as CCP Games, Epic Games, HTC, Oculus, and Valve, Paul said.
