NVIDIA to Name GK110-based Consumer Graphics Card "GeForce Titan"

Don't think Cat's the one that needs to calm down to be honest.

So £800 ?
Let's see what the red team have as well. I'm thinking that this is a planned distraction for the 8000 series launch.

Probably £600 to £700 IMHO,but a number of people are excited about this on forums,even to the extent of driving up to the shops pre-launch,so price gouging is going to probably happen at least in the UK.

I am hoping the GTX780 and HD8970 offer at least 20% improvement,as that means the £100 to £150 cards for us mere mortals,might finally be a good performance jump.

Even the cherry-picked top end compute cards are not full-fat GK110. It's too big a chip to fab properly, like original Fermi was. If they can respin it they might have a decent 7 series...

Of course, it's still annoying you'd be paying a small fortune for half a card.

I am looking forward to this from an architecture/something to read point of view, though, especially how the extra bandwidth from the bigger bus affects thins as its essentially just a bigger 680 on the surface assuming none of the fancy server stuff is retained.

The amount of people looking to buy one from that OcUK thread is insane.

Edit.

If the bus width has increased decently...a 20% performance boost at 1080p could end up being 50% or more at 1440p+

Whoaahhhhhh... sorry for getting confused and not being 100% on top of every single tiny thing that happens in the PC industry

I had no prior knowledge there was any movement on a 780, be it GK114 or otherwise. Whether its 5 months old or not, i didn't know!

Im totally calm, i was just confused as to what was being talked about

Supposedly,a "speculative" look at Geforce Titan performance:

However,BSN says they have tested the Geforce Titan and it scores 4870 in the 3DMark Fire Stream Extreme preset:

Supposed leak of HD8000 series and GTX700 series specifications:

The GTX780 has a 384 bit memory controller?? These were listed on the TPU website,so they could not be true.

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Chinese bloke says Titan is like a 2GHZ HD7970:

So its twice the speed of an HD7970??

Impressive if true.

[kalniel]

Impressive if true.

Depends if it costs twice as much

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Depends if it costs twice as much

If you are lucky!!

[Phage]

At £800 this is just a distraction from the 8000 launch surely ?

[Terbinator]

At £800 this is just a distraction from the 8000 launch surely ?

A 6 month early distraction?

[Phage]

Hype buildup. They'll have a paper launch just beforehand.

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Unless the GTX700 series is being released soon,they can use this as marketing to keep prices stable.

It seems the 2GHZ HD7970 claim is when a GTX680 is faster than an HD7970 GHZ Edition.
