Geforce Titan - GK110 will be a consumer part

[boxleitnerb]

I don't believe this for a second. Dual GK110 would be much more expensive. See current GTX 690 pricing...

Most likely performance is overestimated (which happens with nearly every GPU launch these days it seems).

Why? Don't forget, all Nvidia cards this generation are quite overpriced compared to their predecessors. The GTX590 carried an MSRP of $699. $999 is a hefty $300 more. I wouldn't say it is impossible. But the same money for a single GPU card is utterly insane - even for Nvidia. And 6GB just makes the card more power hungry and expensive, and for what?

They would have to reduce the price of every single current product. And just for a limited production run? Unlikely.

Or just drop the 690. Titan might have a better value than the 680, but if you're not able or willing to spend 1000 bucks, that would be irrelevant.

I could see this happening...under one specific condition:
Titan is a Dual GK110 card.

That would certainly make sense:

GTX680=100%
GTX690=90% (slightly lower clocks) x2=180% (theoretical, not taking SLI scaling into account)
GK110 Single=150% (theoretical card at 850 MHz and ca. 250W TDP)
GK110 Dual=150% x0.8 (lower clocks, 650-700 MHz) x2 = 240%

2x3GB=6GB...check
$999...check
Titan(ic) performance...check
Faster than GTX690...check

I've heard the 6Gb and the $999 price tag from two independent sources now, and for a single GPU card this doesn't make sense AT ALL

no, that would not "certainly make sense." in fact, this reads like you're out of your god damned mind.

repeat after me: k20x specs are known, and they fall between 680 and 690. k20x specs are known, and they fall between 680 and 690.

Would you mind being a bit more polite and less aggressive? Your tone is quite inappropriate.

Remember, this new rumor claims Titan is faster than a 690. That certainly isn't possible with a single GPU card unless you cherrypick situations where the 690 is VRAM bottlenecked. You can clock it as high as you want, with 300GB/s memory bandwidth it is not possible. 6GB also make no sense for such a card since there are no 4Gbit memory chips from Hynix available so far, thus this would increase power consumption and cost with no benefit. Finally, when has a single GPU card ever cost $999?

[kromosto]

actually before new gen gpu's released generally there is always some rumors about a card (like titan in this example) that seems like a dual gpu card which is never true about nvidia or ati (for one at every gen there can not be two rumours like this for two brands at the same time. i think this is a rule for them :P). now let's see this is going to be true or not .

Titan 3DMark11 Extreme preset scores?
X7107

A bit high, that would be...fast!

titan ...and 2600k ?!

[boxleitnerb]

As Titan isn't released yet, I don't think you can deduct anything from his/her CPU. If someone with a 2600K gets his/her hands on a Titan (maybe for loan from a buddy who works at Foxconn or whatever), what does the CPU matter? They certainly won't say "hey, keep it, I only have a 2600K". LOL

[kromosto]

384bit 6gb so one gpu ?

[boxleitnerb]

I have it from good authority that Titan has 2 SLI connectors. So yes, one GPU. My thesis from earlier was wrong.

[kromosto]

isn't that fishy that a one gpu solution doubles the performance of its predecessor.

[boxleitnerb]

Kind of, yeah. Unless they cherrypick.

[kromosto]

Kind of, yeah. Unless they cherrypick.

one gpu, premature drivers, 3dmark2011 one of my side wants to believe this but doesn't seem right. i hope nvidia will laugh about my comment.

7800GTX 512MB was ?650 in the UK, the 6800 Ultra 512MB was $999+ at launch

More info on Titan...
http://news.softpedia.com/news/NVIDI...0-325712.shtml

The Titan will not be part of the 700 Series. There will be a limited run of it, priced at $800 / 800 Euro.

Its performance will be higher than the previously suggested 85% of the GeForce GTX 690 (the dual-GK104 adapter on the market right now).

The folks at WCCFTech, who provided this info, claim to have made a 3DMark 11 test where The Extreme mode returned a score of 7,107, when GTX 690 normally scores 6,000.

news.softpedia.com tells total BS. WCCFTech never made a 3DM11 Extreme run with Titan.
They found this probable fake on pcinlife.

[aussie-revhead]

Has there been anything firm on this or is it all just wishful thinking/ fantasy for now? I saw mention of Feb release, any more word on this?

PaulBagz - wanna buy one each and go halvie in a third so we can both try SLI ??

Sorry if this has been shown already:

What RRP did gtx690 release at?

[NapalmV5]

guys dont get worked up over it.. in 2 years this is going to be such a measily gpu.. big maxwell gm110 will be 71 billion transistor performance of this 7.1 billion titan

6GB vram for what ?? how bout 4k-8k textures games ? how bout 4k displays ?

modded skyrim can easily fill 6GB buffer at 1080p/no aa

[zalbard]

Reasonably modded Skyrim is fine with 1.5GB for 1080p. You don't get a significant quality increase by raising the requirements to 6GB.
You also have to remember that RAM allocated != RAM required for given settings and FPS.

big maxwell gm110 will be 71 billion transistor

This will not be the case.

lol 2GB is not enough for vanilla+bethesda hd @ 1080p.. im sorry you havent seen/experienced proper modded skyrim on proper hardware/gpus

im telling you guys vram is the least understood ever! haha

"71 billion transistor performance of this 7.1 billion titan"

[paulbagz]

There is a solution to that; don't play Skyrim? :P

It runs on 1GB cards. You are out of touch. Source
