Yes, they will very likely and probably the 750 (Ti), too, but I haven't tested it on a 750 yet and we don't have a 970 at the office.Sorel wrote:I'm assuming these changes will make the 970 faster as well?
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is. - Yogi Berra
anyone tested 980?

Very promising!
Looking forward to 2.13 C4D Plugin then
I have a 980 and a 750Ti so if they both got a boost that would be amazing

Unfortunately I don't think they will be able to optimize much more than already is, accordingly to what they explained.
Too bad I didn't knew about this before buying a GTX 980. I honestly thought it would be faster than a 780Ti or Titan, like is supposed to, accordingly to Nvidia.

Well judging by the benchmark above (from 4 M/s to 6.2) that's a >50% increase, so thanks to Otoy for improving things.
The 9s might still be a little slower than 780s which is a little disappointing but does offer more RAM and uses less power. Also if and when the new 8GB cards come and then the Ti cards they could be a good option (and hopefully push prices of 4gb ones down a bit).

Hello folks! You got me so inspired, I bought a 980.
Some stats from me,
Octane 2.13
While 780 Ti renders at 6.88 M/s
980 Gaming 4G from MSI does the same at avg 5.13 M/s (jitters between 5.12 and 5.36)
Octane 2.14
780 Ti renders at 6.8 M/s
780 Ti renders at 8 M/s without Alpha shadows
980 Gaming 4G from MSI renders at avg 5 M/s
980 Gaming 4G from MSI renders at avg 6.3 M/s without Alpha shadows
From what I've gathered, the only spec differences are sligtly higher MHz and more, MORE, CudaCores, will we see some optimizations? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease! 
p.s. From Wattage perpective, is everything nice. 980 manages to pull 110 Watts, where a 780Ti pulls 215 Watts. So, more cards for the same PowerSupply! Yay!
