There is no concrete info regarding this.
 
I would speculate end of March, 2015 as the probable release date of the Titan II. 

As Baasha said, we won't see anything concrete until it's launched. The leaks will intensify as the date draws closer, but the vast majority of them will be garbage. How do you know what's real until you see the product?
 
One thing I'm almost certain is that there will be no 980 Ti. Judging by history, there will first be a Titan branded card followed by a new series featuring other GM200 based GPU's with some GM204 based cards filling out the lower end of the series ala the 700 series. Nvidia will almost certainly get two series out Maxwell like they have every other architecture, so I fully expect to see the GM200 cards fall in the next series. The only way I can see this being otherwise is if Nvidia has plans to move forward with a GM214 and GM210 that are produced on the 16 nm process. If that is the case, then we may see a Titan II and a 980 Ti that are both 28 nm GM200 based cards with the next series being reserved for 16 nm. I'm starting to think that we will never see 16 nm Maxwell though, with all the rumors of delays at the foundries.
 
As far as when it comes out, there is nothing pushing a non-Titan card until AMD brings something that beats the 980. So until that happens, I agree with Baasha, Titan II probably sometime in March and the rest TBD. I do not expect the Titan II to be as groundbreaking as the original Titan was with respect to their predecessors (the 980 and 680 respectively). Anand's Titan launch review showed it being 47% faster on average than the GTX 680. Most people expect a full GM200 to be around 35% faster than the GTX 980 (full GM204). Of course, this is pure speculation. We won't know until we see the final product. I do sincerely believe though, that without a die shrink, Titan II doesn't stand a chance to be near as groundbreaking as original Titan, just like the 980 has been a pretty lackluster gain over a 780 Ti compared to say a 680 over a 580. Per the Titan staples though, I'm sure it will still have double the memory and exclusive access to Double Precision compute.
 
That's probably enough rambling, but there's my two cents. And it probably isn't even worth that.

Titan Z is air cooled. R9295X2 was water cooled.

I'm currently in a step-up window.....
 
Could someone from EVGA chime in on this please?
 
 

Well..... That really sucks. Especially when people are waiting to pull the trigger for an upgrade.

Also they will wait until the Kingpin edition has passes its maximum sales curve to ensure they get max sales on all cards

So... stuck with 4GB cards till 'Kingpin' runs out? That may be a few months. Hardly makes sense that the MFGers would set aside all cards with more than 4GB... just so 4BG cards will sell. I don't need Quadro for Polygons and GPU vid rendering, which is a considerable market place,


I guess I'll get a 'King' and retire a 660Ti I use for viewport, buy a couple '980Ti's/TitanX's when they finally come to market. Just seems strange a noticeable market place (Titans 6+GB) would be empty/no serve for months on end.

There's a market alright, it just makes more business sense, without real competition, for NVIDIA not to release anything after Kingpin for a few months. If not for NVIDIA then for EVGA.

 Well, I'm not the person that defines

 Well, I'm not the person that defines what is or isn't 'real competition', but I would argue in any other field, not having 'competition'// ie'6GB', is what every MFG hopes for, be the one and only. The scenario I would consider relevant would be if the MFGer was selling junk, for an arm and a leg. In which case, then there is little reason for vesting into further development..
But that's just IMHO. I'm not suggesting 980's are 'junk', but the 6GB+ market must be a 'given' for Nvidia and largely EVGA, as dollars are on the table, and no providers/takers.

There is a small market for gamers that game past 4k. The current crop of cards all suffice up until 4k resolution. Additionally, there is no competition for the GTX 980 in terms of a single-GPU card. My opinion, EVGA is filling the gap before the next Maxwell release, which would mean MINIMUM 2-3 months after the release of Kingpin. Whether it will be a 4GB or 6GB card is anyone's guess.

I can see them releasing a Ti well after the 980 has run its course, just like with the 780ti.

I can see the high memory capacity, after the 980ti runs most of its course, JUST like the 780 6gb. There is no competition or reason to go above and beyond.

You use High GB cards... I suspect for a reason, a reason already 'justified', or you wouldn't. I believe you've already worked with Titan. are you saying it 'wasn't justified'?
To say, Nvidia may not 'justify', sure, but a market with more than 4GB on a chip/card is a justified market as they have a place, and 6 months without that existing market being filled, from my point of view, is not 'justified'.
But as i said "I'm not the person that defines what is or isn't 'real competition'", the consumer it seems never is in a market place with few providers. Thanks for an idea for when the marketplace will be justified, I'm certain a buildup of possible customer revenue will be well in place.
Awaiting the 980'Ti' and hope it will have the at least, 780Ti 6GB.

I, like anyone else here, would LOVE more RAM. Everyone seems to forget that with more VRAM comes WAY more stability issues. There's a reason the 980s are 4GB, and it's not because NVIDIA or EVGA wants to stick it to the consumer.
