News - Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan Black Edition pictured

[HEXUS]

Is this an upcoming Titan refresh or just a modder’s paint job?

the current nvidia reference coolers look so damn nice
but in black?
that's just porn...

Don't see if myself. Unless they want to refresh it to get a full GK110 with the higher DP performance for GPGPU work out there (and no doubt charge $999 for the privilege, if not more), it seems pointless. They can't manufacture a graphics card that'll be faster than 780 Ti in gaming. And tbh I don't see why they'd release a full GK110 for compute that wasn't used for a professional card (unless they end up with some binned parts that can't handle ECC memory? Or have another flaw that would prevent them from being used for either professional cards *or* 780 Ti?) But can't see it personally....

Anybody say 4K surround!

I'd seen some 'rumours' of a black version of the 780ti.... I suppose it's possible that Nvidia are doing a 'special edition' of the titan too.... would be nice for it to be 12gb and full shaders, that would make the likely £1000 price tag acceptable in my opinion.

NOTE: I wouldn't want it for gaming but as a cheap alternative to a tesla k20x (costs a LOT more than a titan) which would be good for 3d rendering/encoding etc

I see your point, but personally it's from a totally non-technical point of view. When the cost goes north of 500 quid, I'm just not interested. I'm obviously not in nVidia's 1-2% target market.

Bring it on!

black... just a color preference for the 1-2% target market
