[WCCFtech] Nvidia Geforce GTX 790 – 4992 Cuda Cores and 10 GB

[taserbro]

Except for GK110 not having an IHS and the obvious photoshop of the chip pictured there not actually being a part of the image of the blurry PCB...

Look, this is getting a bit OT and I honestly don't care for defending the honor of a site I didn't even know existed until just now but at the risk of appealing to an often-gif'd internet stereotype, I've worked with photoshop a lot in my days and this one look legit to me.

I can point out reasons why I believe the picture doesn't look fake (such as the light reflection on the chip putting it on the same plane as the card and the perspective matching through the slight lens distortion) but I can't explain why this chip has an IHS when the production ones don't.

Maybe it's an early engineering sample that happens to have one or maybe the whole card is fake and the picture was real, I don't know or care to find out. I just wanted to point out that some folks jumped to conclusions on the authenticity of the picture itself.

Who really even cares?

x2 cards are terrible.

*Well the 690 wasn't that bad, pretty close to 680 SLI with better power, but generally dual cards especially of top chips are gimped and garbage or noise/heat nightmares.

Good grief man. Now we're going to create a mythical situation where the engineering samples had an IHS ?

The picture is fake as fake can be. You can even tell with the naked eye by the angle of the IHS not matching up to the angle of the board, or the GK110 text being off-skew.

wccf is a joke site that trolls for hits with fabrications.

Curious, do you have a link to the headline associated with that GK110 picture? What was the actual news rumor or story?

No, we're not gonna do that.
Again I'm still not interested in arguing over whether the board itself is fake or not, nor the credibility of the site in question. I even mentioned that the whole card might be fake, I just don't know, but what I do know is the picture doesn't look at all like what you claimed it is.

The "angle of the IHS" lighting does in fact match that of the board and the rapid jpeg degradation trick only serves to show whether filters have been applied to a picture or parts of it at all and it's only a relevant tool to use when someone claims that the picture was not photoshoped at all. In this case, it's pretty obvious that the blur filter, which by the way you can't be more destructive than that, was applied around the chip and the result is consistent with that much but tells nothing about whether the picture is a collage or photomerge.

I'm done. Sorry for going off topic.
Maybe I'm just being fooled by someone who's much better than I am and took care of more details than most people even understand fully, but all I wanted to mention is that based on what evidence is present on this picture in this context, I wouldn't call the picture a fake just because it looks weird at first glance.

We can only guess (throwing out img like that WOW),
and I'm guessing this is the article:

http://wccftech.com/exclusive-nvidi...nveiled-6-gb-memory-gk110-gpu-8-phase-supply/

Looks to be spot on (quick glance), but img is removed.

Why the sudden outcry against wccsomtehing? They usually just collect and arrange already existing rumors, no biggie.
If you dont like it, just click away and dont propagate their articles

The GeForce Titan features a 6 GB GDDR5 memory running along a 384-bit interface. We can easily spot 12 memory chips on the front, the other 12 are located at the back of the PCB but users won’t be able to see them on the retail model since it comes with a sexy backplate. The best part is that there are actually 2 SLI goldfingers on the GPU which allows Quad-Way SLI Support. This would bring unbeatable performance to enthusiasts who are willing to dish out that kind of cash on their rigs. The GPU is fed power through an 8 Pin and 6 Pin connector which puts the total power draw to 300W but would actually be a tad bit lower but that remains to be seen. We were told a TDP around the 235-250W on the GeForce Titan. Display outputs include the regular configuration of 2 DVI, 1 HDMI and a single display connector.

So this was a rumor about the GTX Titan posted in January/early Feb? The actual rumor turned out to be correct. Odd. Guess they posted a fake picture with the actual news story being spot on.

If true that is some serious signs 20nm is a long way off.

Dual 28nm flagship this late into 28nm would not occur unless 20nm is way off target for whatever reasons.

Yeah that's the one. I wasn't going to waste time trying to find it, but you did and that is the right one. Looks like they removed the picture, lol, no surprise considering their 'exlusive' shot from their 'source' was probably the guy in the next room doing a shop job.

As far as the specs being right, everyone knew the specs at that point, the major leak was supposed to be the fabricated picture. These sites just spew/make up most of what they leak trying to get page hits.

Carry on though.

320 bit and 5GB per GPU does seem weird, but then again what are the alternatives?

384 bit and 3GB per GPU sounds somewhat weak
and 384 bit with 6GB per GPU is excessive and would demand whooping 12GB total!

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Only thing weird about 320 bit bus is that the cuda cores are the same as the 780, Nvidia could use a 40 ROP 320 bit bus card with 2.5GB with less cores than a 780, however they'd need to actually release one before making it a dual card imo.

 

[moonbogg]

God i could only hope for a such a card but it does seem unlikely to happen with Maxwell making a appearance soon.

I haven't heard of this "soon" release. What is meant by soon? 9 months?

 

[3DVagabond]

Wasn't that originally from Videocardz? I'm half expecting the 780 Ti "black edition" to show up as a "880," that is, if it's even real in the first place.

Everything from that site is from somewhere else. His source is Google.

 

[Teizo]

Lol. Is AMD actually going to launch the Vesuvius anyway?

I'm still laughing at their Nvidia Asus Gysnc exclusive leak. Site has no cred.

 

[mindbomb]

wouldn't it have to be 4.5GB or 6GB? Or are they generously rounding 4.5 up.

 

[Teizo]

Videocardz mentioned this card in their last paragraph, but was not confident enough to post a separate article.

Maybe this is the source for WCCFtech?

It's 2496 CUDA cores per GPU actually. If the total is 4992 I mean.

780 has 2304. Titan has 2668 and 780Ti has 2880.

So, it's just a 780 with another SMX enabled, or a Titan with one SMX disabled.

320 bus is probably just a power saving technique or a PCB real estate saving bid.

Reminiscent of GTX295 (2xGTX275)
