GeForce Titan coming end of February

[Whitestar127]

I'd rather my earlier predictions in this thread come true. AMD releases a competitive product and brings prices back down out of the stratosphere.

That way everyone wins.

More options, lower prices. I think we all want that, yes.

nV is about to unleash a monster!

a 725mhz monster lol.

Like a fat Jabba the Hut.

2x 7970 will trounce this card and be cheaper

Oh and 2x 7950 will too

 

[boxleitnerb]

It will clock higher than 725 MHz
Also you can never compare single GPU with AFR. Even if a SLI/CF is 10-20% faster, I would always choose the single GPU for hassle-free gaming and better smoothness.

It will be 100mhz higher, 835mhz for core. Probably 30% faster than a 7970GE.

Probably?

Where does that info come from?

835mhz isnt so bad but the pricing is going to be uncompetitive i think.

Clockspeed is from somewhere else, should be accurate.

Performance is just a guesstimate going on die size of gk110 and the assumption it will be less efficient in perf/mm than gk104 for gaming.

i have never been a fan of huge GPU's personally.

the 690 GTX should have been £500 and not £900 this is the problem with this generation. Dual GPU single card has always been my favourite setup.

Or dual 670 GTX in a single card for 685 GTX would of been perfect price performance

As exciting as a GK110-based consumer card sounds, is there ANY solid evidence to show that the SWEclockers.com article is more than just a rumour? It's the only source we've seen so far, and while the article itself refers to "multiple independent sources" all we really have is this one article from a Swedish tech journalist...

Given how many INCORRECT rumours were floating around prior to the launch of Kepler, I daresay plenty of people in this thread are getting a bit ahead of themselves, trusting in these rumoured specs, as well as in the release date and price

its basically a historically educated guess at best.

Time will tell.
But speculation is a fun pastime.

 

[Black Octagon]

LOL, true enough in most fields, yet in the world of consumer graphics cards it always seems to come with so much flaming on the side.

In another forum I frequent, it's strictly against the rules to make any price-related arguments about unreleased cards, UNLESS the prices have been confirmed by AMD/NVIDIA. This means that it's fine to discuss or speculate about performance, design, etc., but never performance-per-dollar in comparison to cards that are actually on the market with a real-world price.

Not that this serves to prevent all flamewars, but I've found it to be a step in the right direction

(at least until the prices are confirmed :biggrin

 

[f1sherman]

Maybe because speculation on performance alone carries enough uncertainty as it is.

Add price argument to discussion and very soon everyone is going full-retard because of uncertainty multiplication.

Do you know the SMX count as well?

I'm pretty sure that Nvidia has some GK110's that didn't quite make the cut that they would love to sell as very high priced consumer GPUs.

 

[Rikard]

I'd be more inclined to buy them if there were games pushing me to buy them.

This. My current performance in current games is fine, and I have a hard time justifying to myself getting this card now with the diminishing returns it infers. Had I skipped last gen... well then maybe... Or if there comes some title that needs it on 1080p... Let's wait and see how it performs, shall we?

 

[CakeMonster]

People keep making this complete speculative assumption. Let's wait and see and not propagate a badly founded rumor any more, please.

 

[SirPauly]

My prediction is based a little bit on hope... :/ Seriously though, $799 for a 6gb GK110 GTX 780 Titanium would still be an incredibly high price point and no doubt carry a better profit margin than the $499 1.5gb GF110 GTX 580, WOULDN'T IT? Cut us enthusiasts some slack Nvidia! $900 is incredibly outrageous if true.

Imho,

Indeed! But, this doesn't stop nVidia for asking for premiums, especially if they feel they have competitive advantages and differentiation.

The 8800 Ultra had a MSRP of around 829 and that was years and technology generations ago; why would they change their thinking?

Would you like the forums to shut down? I kid.
Don't get angry, but news sites are propagating the rumor to!
Report: Nvidia GK110 Titan GPU to be Available Next Month



From the GK110 preview article here at Anands. This is a expected move.

GK110 is NVIDIA’s obligatory big-die GPU. We don’t have a specific die size, but at 7.1 billion transistors it is now the biggest GPU ever built in terms of transistors, dwarfing the 3.5B transistor GK104 and the 4.3B transistor Tahiti GPU from AMD. These big-die GPUs are unwieldy from a fabrication and power consumption perspective, but the end result is that the performance per GPU is unrivaled due to the fact that so many tasks (both graphical and compute) are embarrassingly parallel and map well to the large arrays of streaming processors found in a GPU.
Like GF100 before it, GK110 has been built to fill multiple roles. For today’s launch we’re mostly talking about it from a compute perspective – and indeed most of the die is tied up compute hardware – but it also has all of the graphics hardware we would expect in an NVIDIA GPU.

Interestingly NVIDIA tells us that their yields are terrific – a statement backed up in their latest financial statement – so the problem NVIDIA is facing appears to be demand and allocation rather than manufacturing. This isn’t necessarily a good problem to have as either situation involves NVIDIA selling fewer Teslas than they’d like, but it’s the better of the two scenarios. Similarly, for the last month NVIDIA has been offering time on a K20 cluster to customers, only for it to end up being oversubscribed due to the high demand from customers. So NVIDIA has no shortage of customers at the moment.

My target was very similar -- 20-25 percent.

 

[Black Octagon]

Don't get angry, but news sites are propagating the rumor to!

All the Toms Hardware article sources is a wccftech.com (ahem) article, whose author, despite saying "It has been claimed by multiple source blah blah blah," can only source back his article to...you guessed it...SWEclockers.com!

We have one (1) source only for this rumour. The fact that other sites are sourcing the source (and others sourcing the source of the same source) does not mean anything more than that.

EDIT: As for the AT article, saying that the GK110 Tesla card "has all of the graphics hardware we would expect in an NVIDIA GPU" is not the same thing as "has the die-size we expect in a future NVIDIA GPU for the consumer market"

Not saying the rumour isn't true. I'm just saying that it is 1, single, unverified, rumour. Given how many rumours during the lead-up to the Kepler launch turned out not to be true, we should tread carefully, very carefully

 

[SirPauly]

No big deal! It's the Internet and speculation, opinions and conjecture are part of forum lore and forum fun!

 

[Black Octagon]

WE MUST HAVE EXACT INFORMATION AT ALL TIMES!!! lol

 

[zootedd]

$900 geeze..... Most people's builds cost less/around that.

So you are repeating exactly what I wrote. That those sites were propagating the rumor. It's not news to me, that all the sources circle back around to each other. But I'll give you a hint, that's how the leaks, get leaked.

Yes I agree. But not everyone who reports the rumor adequately coneys that it is a rumour. Tweaktown for instance makes it clear, but wccftech refers to 'multiple independent sources' as if we have anything more than a single Swedish article
