NVIDIA GeForce Kepler Lineup To Be Expanded in 2H 2013 – Maxwell Arriving in Q1 2014

[Fastx]

Looks like more choices coming!

it was a matter of time before Nvidia released a full GK110.so they are waiting to see Hawaii and then will release it.

I don't how true it is, but I read on a forum Maxwell ES's are done.

 

[Rvenger]

I doubt it. If it is, its certainly not 20nm.

 

[Jaydip]

Titan ultra, prepare for a shocking performance and price

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Look out ARES II, you aren't the only $1500 waste of money in this town!

 

[Jaydip]

Haha yes

LOL so true

Nvidia has these emulators, it's a good read.

A space ship? No! It’s the “Tigris” emulator in all its glory.​

Updated with second link per VC.

I believe it's rather a 790 than a Titan Ultra. The 690 is older and is more under attack from AMD than the Titan.

 

[TY-1]

Well I was going to wait to see what AMD was going to show with Hawaii to decide on a GPU for my new build, but if Nvidia is going to twist my arm like this...

I can only see Nvidia releasing Maxwell parts on 28nm if

A) The architecture has perf/watt and perf/mm^2 improvement within the same node over Kepler
B) They are planning to shrink the 28nm maxwell parts down to 20nm for a refresh 9-12 months later.

If that is the case, then I can see a 400-410mm^2 GM104 with a 320-384 bit bus and 7gbps GDDR5 vram. Regardless, absolutely no way they are releasing GM100/GM110 on 28nm. And I think we will definitely see a fully unlocked GK110 Geforce card. Not so sure about a dual GK110, but certainly possible. I don't know if Nvidia or AMD planned in advance for the long gap between 28 and 20nm, but heck even a heavily "revised" GK104 with 10 SMX's and a 320-bit bus would be an absolute performance machine and still remain smaller than Tahiti.

The more I think about it, the more I don't think this rumor holds any water whatsoever unless 20nm is just really, really behind with respects to costs and yields.

 

[PPB]

If Maxwell is sooner than expected, it's on 28nm.

If it's released in 2H next year, 20nm.


Just like with AMD and 9xxx most probably being 28nm, 20nm is a long way before it's economically feasible (both Nvidia and AMD acknowledged this).

 

[OCGuy]

Eh that is a pretty bad "article" that doesn't even make sense.

 

[PrincessFrosty]

Based on everything we've seen I'd be surprised if we see a single GPU better than the Titan, and the 780 is close enough not to matter anyway. I fully expect them to be filling out the range of cards below the 780 with modern parts rather than respins of the old tech, as the current line up is mostly rebranded tech.

If we see anything new at the performance end it will likely be a dual 780 variant, which would might fucking tempting if they can get the price point right.

 

[CakeMonster]

The more I think about it, the more I don't think this rumor holds any water whatsoever unless 20nm is just really, really behind with respects to costs and yields.

To be honest, I don't find that hard to believe.

The question is what NV and AMD knew about 20nm back when they had to have begun designing these chips.

My thoughts matter not, but at this I lol.

 

[DooKey]

I'd jump on a GTX 790 (dual 780) for the right price.

This new card could be a single chip ultimate GK110 chip featuring the fully enabled 15 SMX GeForce Kepler core and a 12 GB GDDR5 memory

hard to put any credibility with someone making such a silly claim. its idiotic to even think that 12gb of vram would be put on a desktop card at this point.

 

[Rvenger]

I'd jump on a GTX 790 (dual 780) for the right price.

$1200

B) They are planning to shrink the 28nm maxwell parts down to 20nm for a refresh 9-12 months later.

That sounds about right. AMD is probally doing the same thing with Volcanic Islands.

 

[nenforcer]

If they released a Geforce Titan Ultra, would they bump down the existing Titan to like $699 - $799, or would they just let the existing Titan's (a low volume card) sell out and introduce the new one at $999?

 

[Bateluer]

How far behind can TSMC be with their 20nm process?
