Launch Context

Launch context should document the Computex 2015-era release, 6 GB memory positioning, and relationship to GTX 980 and Titan X from official material and period reviews.

Architecture Context

Architecture notes should explain GM200/Maxwell context and keep GTX 980 Ti distinct from GM204-based GTX 980 and GTX 970.

Used-Market Caution

Before buying used, confirm PCI or AGP voltage compatibility, required legacy driver and OS support, visible capacitor damage, fan noise, memory artifacts, missing breakout cables, and whether the card has been tested in period-correct hardware.
