GeForce Titan coming end of February

So? They aren't the same thing. Referencing TR when talking about dual GPU, AFR microstutter is wrong. The TR reports don't reference it at all. They don't belong in an AFR discussion.

Fine by me.

Oh but it will once Titan[ic] is released...have no doubt.:hmm:

Well if it's the fastest AND doesn't stutter, yes :biggrin:

 

[Grooveriding]

I figured the 1000mhz was bs for a chip this big, I'd also heard it was going to be 832mhz prior to that.

 

[boxleitnerb]

I'm a bit dissapointed if this is true, I have to confess. That would make Titan only 45% faster than the GTX680. Not really worthy of this moniker imo. They could at least turbo up to 950MHz and set the max TDP at 280W or so.

Depends on the O/C'ing ability. I'd feel better about that though if it had 2x8pins. Not too long to wait to find out now.

Even with those specs I would not be surprised if real world usage is already close to 300W.

 

[boxleitnerb]

What would interest me is
1. how "real" the TDP is. Does it include memory usage of all 6GB?
2. if the answer to 1. is yes: Would the turbo act more aggressively in cases where not all of the 6GB are used.

And yes, of course OC is important.

Hm, the GTX680 maintains its TDP quite well due to the power control circuitry of the turbo. I would expect the same from Titan.

Thanks!

We're back to having boost based on this nugget of data!

I don't think it will be like a GTX 480 It is almost double the size of GK104 though and not like GK104 in being a lean gaming chip. What is GTX 680 TDP anyways, I don't even know ?

800mhz was what I had expected given the big size of the chip,.

 

[boxleitnerb]

GTX680 default power target is 170W. ht4u increased it to 225W (+32%) and the 680 used 195W max in Furmark:
http://ht4u.net/reviews/2012/nvidia_geforce_gtx_680_kepler_sli_evga_zotac_test/index26.php

And 169W on average in games with only one exceeding 170W by a mere 4W

It is named after the supercomputer it powers....not the other way around.

Let's see some reviews, and if there is any competition for it....

 

[ginfest]

Maybe you're just miffed that you missed out on making easy money. ()

And maybe some of us would rather make our money the honest way, instead of doing something that by all reports contributes to multiple criminal enterprises

You admitted in a PM that you purposely troll these NV threads, hopefully the mods will finally take notice?

That if it doesn't get ROP starved just like Tahiti's. Pixel fillrate will be only 25% better than GTX680 (at least if architecture is unchanged).

 

[boxleitnerb]

There it is:

 

[n0x1ous]

Looks like there might be three power connectors on that second pic?

 

[boxleitnerb]

It's two, 6+8pin. Under the "i" from chip is nothing.

 

[ShintaiDK]

Looks like there might be three power connectors on that second pic?

Only 2, look on the solder on the PCB above.

 

[wand3r3r]

There it is:

And the GTX 690 for comparison

Was there any more info leaked?

 

[boxleitnerb]

Not that I know of. But by now we know everything, don't we? Configuration, clocks, memory amount, TDP, price (900-1000ish).

 

[Keysplayr]

Can't wait til this thing launches.

 

[lavaheadache]

Gorgeous card if that pic is real... drooooooool.

Fermi jokes are little out of order here.
Because almost double size of GK104, with 25-30% underclock pretty much guarantees green-like TDP.
I am thinking something like (2 x 120W) +- d = 240W +- d.

So if we are talking perf/W, Titan will be one lean gaming chip.
Even more so than GTX 680 or HD 7870

 

[boxleitnerb]

Well Fermi TDP was similar, wasn't it? With Nvidias big GPUs, not much has changed imo.

 

[f1sherman]

Was 480 king of the perf/W hill? In positive sense...

Because Titan will be. Fermi was perf/W bottom feeder if I remember correctly

 

[SirPauly]

Sure does look impressive!
