Geforce Titan - GK110 will be a consumer part

[aussie-revhead]

If GK110 is being released now you have to believe it's just to ensure AMD's 8970 doesn't have things all it's way until the 780 is released.

You don't think GTX780=GK110? I always assumed they were the same thing, maybe I am wrong....

Default speed, noise + power consumption will always be the N1, N2 and N3 deciding factors for a purchase of a graphics card.

Overclocability will never come above those items for the average consumer.

If the average consumer thought noise was the second most important factor in buying a new vid card then neither camp would ever sell a reference vid card again ....

But more than all...that horsepower for playing what?

For benchmarking of course, what else would you do with these? Oh and smooth-as-butter 120Hz+ BF3 on ultra, or over three screens even better, there is always a use for a powerful single gpu.
