In summary, the next major graphics card release from Nvidia is expected to be the GTX 980 Ti in Q2 2015. The 980 Ti is a more powerful version of the 980, which is only slightly faster than the 780 Ti but has better energy efficiency and DX12 compatibility. Technical details about the new cards have not yet been released, but it has been noted that the drivers are proprietary and can be difficult to keep up with for Linux users. Additionally, automatic updates for driver downloads may no longer be available for Windows users.

Read on a tech website that the next big release of graphics cards from Nvidia is going to be the GTX 980 Ti and should launch sometime in Q2 2015.

Should I wait until the Ti edition of the GTX 980, or should I go ahead and buy the regular 980?

The 980 is only about 5-10% faster than the 780 Ti, but is much more energy efficient and compatible with DX12, which is why they are making a pumped-up version of the 980 to appease the enthusiast GPU market.

Have any technical details about these new cards been released?

The drivers are proprietary.

If you run a linux OS, keeping up with nVidia drivers is a PITA, broke my latest version change two weeks ago.

I'm using Windows 7 HP 64-bit

And for some reason, I no longer receive automatic updates telling me if there are new drivers for me to download.
