DUAL GK110, will be possible?
Imagine a sigle GPU POWER GK110 accompanied by a DUAL POWER GK110 is something very interesting. :D
Dual GK110 on a single GPU with a waterblock + radiator + pump included would be quite nice. All for 500$... please? :D
ARES II is Water Cooled too, why not dual GK110
At the price they are selling it (1500$) they should do Dual GK110... otherwise it's way overpriced.Quote:

1000€... :mad::(

imo it is the entry price in 2 weeks it will settle

that price makes me very discouraged, if maybe lower the price of the GTX 680 I make an SLI ...
the price of GTX 680 will be lower I think between $400-$440, soonQuote:

Waterblocks, allready ready for Titan .
Got a mail from EK waterblock.. a poll for vote for the design of their next waterblock.. for the Titan..

EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium water cooling gear manufacturer, has opened a poll on EK-ThinkCell site where you can vote and choose your favourite design for the upcoming nVidia Geforce Titan Full Cover series water block as well as the redesign of the existing EK-Supremacy CPU water block.

Just for the record. The VGA card in the back is NOT Geforce Titan!
And the question is : why -then- nvidia hasn't released it around that time to completely dominate the market given that AMD would had seemed to be unable to respond for -close to-two years in a row.
Is there a weird law against monopoly which would disable one of the competitors to release something that far better from competition? It seems senseless to me that nvidia gave the chance to AMD to breathe and even momentarily take the crown (driver update), what was the point of that?
I normally don't post but it really seems to me the vast majority of people here and around the net are overlooking the most basic detail with this card.
When a company has a product, one of of dividing into two different categories is, products that are made to sell, and products that are sold because they are made. This may seem like the same thing, but it is very different, almost all gpu's made for consumers are the first category, while Titan is a rare exception and falls into the second category.
Titan gpu's are not made to be sold as Titan's, they are K20x's that don't quite make it. So what they do is take a k20x, disable one of the core clusters from 15 to 14, remove the ECC memory, and then use the bios to turn DP units into integer unit to increase the graphics performance while killing their server use in one blow.
So when your asking yourself why didn't these come out earlier, it was a function of how long it took them to get a stockpile of these mostly working but not quite par chips. Also the sale price is the same, to get as much money from them they can, without gaining too much ire from consumers for exploiting the demand.
So there it is, this gpu is not made due to any sort of consumer demand verse profit made, so stop thinking in terms as if it was. The single gpu performance crown and all that other stuff here, is just bonus, nothing more.
K20X has 14 clusters. And it is not really clear if the DP units are SP capable. Assuming there are dedicated DP units, that is. That much is not really clear.
I was ask me the same thing some days ago..
Anandtech presentation of K20x
Quote:
Fundamentally GK110 is a highly enhanced if not equally specialized version of the Kepler architecture. The SMX, first introduced with GK104, is the basis of GK110. Each GK104 SMX contained 192 FP32 CUDA cores, 8 FP64 CUDA cores, 256KB of register file space, 64KB of L1 cache, 48KB of uniform cache. In turn it was fed by 4 warp schedulers, each with two dispatch units, allowing GK104 to issue instructions from warps in a superscalar manner.
GK110 builds on that by keeping the same general design, but tweaking it for GK110’s compute-focused needs. The single biggest change here is that rather than 8 FP64 CUDA cores GK110 has 64 FP64 CUDA cores, giving it 8 times the FP64 performance of a GK104 SMX. The SMXes are otherwise very similar at a high level, featuring the same 256KB of register file space, 64KB of L1 cache, 48KB of uniform cache, and the same warp scheduler structure. This of course does not include a number of low level changes that further set apart GK104 and GK110.
Opps delete post I was mistaken.
K20x while it has 15 clusters, only 14 are active, K20 has 13 like I thought.
Details from the anandtech review of the K20, http://www.anandtech.com/show/6446/n...rrives-at-last .
Due to driver enhancements last year (specifically 12.11), AMD managed to outperform the GTX680 with the HD7970s by the end of 2012(GCN latency issues aside) and costs a full 20% less. (Link)
