We have already heard rumors about the Geforce GTX 990M earlier but now the rumors have started again suggesting that the fully-enabled GM204 GPU for notebooks is quite possible.

Spotted running in ASUS' liquid-cooled ROG GX700 notebook back during IFA 2015 show, the Geforce GTX 990M is rumored to use a fully enabled GM204 GPU with 2048 CUDA cores, 128 TMUs and 64 ROPs.

Such GPU configuration will be a significant performance boost compared to the current flagship, the GTX 980M, which features 1536 CUDA cores, 96 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The report suggest that the GTX 980 for notebooks will clock almost as high as the desktop models.

According to the latest report coming from Sweclockers, spotted by Techrival.com, it appears that Nvidia will not brand the new mobile GPU as the GTX 990M but rather call it the Geforce GTX 980 for notebooks.

The reason apparently lies in the fact that this will not be an MXM-based graphics but rather soldered to the motherboard and be available only in select larger notebooks with elaborate cooling systems, such as the ASUS ROG GX700.

According to the same report, the notebooks with GTX 980 for notebooks will start showing up in Q4 2015, or sometime by the end of this year.
