Seems like a single GM200-based design. Very cool, I'm excited to see the performance.

 

[AdamK47]

Want!

 

[Subyman]

Agreed, doesn't look to be dual GPU. Very curious to see what it is.

 

[LV3]

My brand new 980 might not even get out of its box

 

[Paul98]

the demo they played with it looked quite nice

If that is the first GM200 to be released, I was right in expecting it to be near or over $1000, and a more affordable GM200 won't be released until late summer or autumn.

That's a shame. Hopefully Fiji XT competes favorably with the full GM200, that may force Nvidia to hurry up with a GTX version of GM200 at a more favorable price.

I had read the Maxwell isn't that hot at Double Precision. Considering they are releasing a Titan model, which typically is more geared at compute users (in addition to enthusiast gamers), does that mean the full GM200 may actually have good DP performance? Or perhaps they have made THIS particular version of GM200 with an architecture focused on that, and any consumer variants of GM200 down the road will have that cut down?

It's almost guaranteed to be a single GPU card.

The previous rumors and leaked photos of a board did show a single GM200-400-A1, and 400-A1 is the same part number suffix used on the first Titan with the part number GK110-400-A1.
That leaked PCB also had 12GB.

Since all the leaks have matched up thus far regarding the Titan X, name included, it seems almost a sure bet the rumored $1350 might be almost spot-on.

Titan Ex? Square Enix already beat them to it!:awe:

 

[Head1985]

12GB v ram hmm it will be 100% GM200.
3072SP
192TMU
96Rops
384bit
12GB Vram
performance 50% over GTX980.

It will be super mega overpriced i think 1500USD.

 

[Mondozei]

Feel bad for the people who buy that when you'll have the consumer version of GM200 in the autumn for half the price if not less with probably only a very, very minor performance delta.

Easy pass if that's true.

 

[UaVaj]

it is going to be an overpriced 980 x2 with 4gb of real ram + 2gb of slow ram.

nothing new..

Nvidia did the same with the Kepler architecture. The "full" GK110 of the Titan (Black) has very good DP performance, the consumer oriented 780(TI) does not. Its artificially capped at 1/24 SP performance. The Titan can do 1/3, if I remember correctly.

The 980 didn't have a memory issue. That was the 970.

The 980 architecture is fine. But it is also a smaller die.

This is the GM200, the full-size die, not the cut-down versions that have populated current Maxwell consumer parts. It's a single-chip card with 12GB of direct memory, there won't be any issues addressing any of it.

Nvidia will milk this card for all its worth till late Q2 or early Q3 when they will launch a Geforce GTX 980 Ti or GTX 990 with 6 GB GDDR5 at around USD 650. Frankly this is getting predictable. AMD better come out with a R9 390X which makes the Titan X silly from a perf/$ point of view. If they match this card perf at USD 550 - 650 it would be awesome and will kick off some good old fashioned price competition :thumbsup:

I'm waiting for that, but maybe I'll just stay with AMD, lol. I like NVIDIA's features, but if the performance is nearly there with AMD and cheaper? Decisions, decisions.

Let's see how many clueless gamers rush to buy this just to have its DP capabilites go to waste.

How do you think this one will roll out? X, 1080, 1080TI, X Black? A cut down GTX and Titan, with a full followup in a few months just like they did with Kepler?

I highly, highly doubt we'll see a 1080 out of the GM200. That just makes no sense. The 9xx series launched last fall.

I think we'll see a 985/985Ti or a 990/990Ti. They COULD release a GM200 as a 980Ti, but that would be a weird pairing and a significant leap over the standard 980's GM204.

If Nvidia launches the 1080 that fast they may as well rename this the Titan WHY

Want!

Would of been on board for a pair of these if not for the 970 scam. Going to give AMD some charity and get a few 390X cards instead. Maybe next time out. Big deal with this card is to know if it's going to be cut down like Titan is. Probably worth waiting to get the full chip later on if they shovel this out as a cut down chip.

 

[96Firebird]

Should be a beast for those who need DP and use CUDA.
