Asus GTX Titan Black Edition listing spotted

[Dimitriman]

I know that information did not originate from him but from trusted sources. There was supposed to be a high performance 104 maxwell variant launched Q1, Feb was likely. Since he probably has access to one or more sources, I thought maybe he can shed some light on this apparent change.

Just saying, any claims without proper sources are just claims, and saying its from "trusted sources" doesn't make it better unless you are Charlie or Jen-Hsun Huang's old classmate. If the user runs a hardware review site like SKYTML, they might have insider info. But remember that even AMD's Marketing Manager John Freue (JFAMD) spread information on this site that ended up being false.

So with no sauce, I tend to take information with a grain of salt...

[PedantOne]

So what happened to this then?





The only thing I know/knew is that most of the information available to insiders last year was that a successor of GK104 was going to be launched in February with high end performance. And now it's summer? Or will something else still come this quarter?

things changed, nvidia called this maxwell, but it is not REAL maxwell. And yes, ive seen card with some chip ong time ago, but this chip was cancelled.

[boxleitnerb]

So how is the efficiency of this "new" not-real Maxwell compared to Kepler? Do you have some idea as to why the original GPU was cancelled?

[PedantOne]

efficiency is great, same chip as kepler, better performance, but without additional power connector

[PedantOne]

by the way someone here told us bulls about 640/512 CUDAs etc, iT was shiiit as i said before, First "Maxwell" cards has CUDAs like we saw on Chinese leaks
960 and 768, enjoy

ps. i can post gpuz screens, pics of gpu chip etc.

[paulbagz]

Oh dear

So PendantOne is OBR?

Rofl.

[PedantOne]

why? obr

[EtheEnthusiast]

hey PedantOne...
will a Liquid Block for cut titan / 780Ti fit Titan Black pcb?

Here you have a photo of an actual product that's not an engineer sample, not a fake GPU-Z SS, it wasn't leaked until now (it also contains a suprise) and it has 640 cuda cores.



Now tell me, who is full of bull?

[iMacmatician]

Is the "surprise" an ARM core?

640 CCs for the GM107 seems reasonable to me, at least number-wise.

I think the surprise he is talking about is the 6-pin connector on the image...

Now tell me, who is full of bull?

reference card has no psu connector, who cares about some OC models?

[PedantOne]

[kromosto]

so it has a huge oc potential that is very good.

and actually i don't care about power connectors but what about cuda cores?

[PedantOne]

look at gpuz, reading it has 960 CUDAs, but i will check documents.
GPUz is wrong, maximal number of CUDAS is 640.

[kromosto]

ty now the last unknown left is what will be the price of card at my country.

[PedantOne]

no psu connector ..



and again, no psu connector

*** edited ****, you are right, CUDAS are 640, there is problem with number of CUDAs in SMX, it is different then kepler, and manufacturers/GPUz are reading it wrong!

[Luka_Aveiro]

So, if 960/192= 5 SMX; 640/5 SMX = 128 cuda cores for each SMX for maxwell arquitecture?

Well, it should give better SMX binning options... Or not... lol

[PedantOne]

yes, one SMX has 128 CUDAs and GM107 has 5x SMX.

[Buckeye]

No need for name calling here PedantOne. Let's knock off the personal attacks/comments.

[zalbard]

there is problem with number of CUDAs in SMX, it is different then kepler

That's interesting.

So these are indeed Maxwell cards? And not another Kepler rebrand?

[kuroikenshi]

28nm Maxwell, very nice indeed.

In lieu of this I'd like to see what 20nm Maxwell will bring in terms of power efficiencies too, but if this is a preview of what's to come then I'm impressed

[paulbagz]

Have had 2x 780s die in the last few weeks, might just sell the replacements and get Titans lol.

They will apparently sell for 999, though, what a rip off.
