NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan leaks, could cost a grand
NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 690 currently wears the
world's-fastest-graphics crown by cramming two Kepler GPUs onto one board. When
it comes to improving on that, some leaked European retailer listings suggest
NVIDIA might wait on a completely next-gen architecture, but may instead try to
deliver similar performance through a less power-hungry single GPU
design. The listings, gathered
together by TechPowerUp and VideoCardz, point towards a pricey
new flagship, the GeForce GTX Titan, that would be a
graphics-focused adaptation of the beefy Tesla K20 computing card. It'd pack
2,688 shader units, a 384-bit memory bus and 6GB of RAM, all on one chip -- for
reference, the GTX 690 needs two cores to offer 3,072 shader units and 4GB of
RAM. There's no confirmed unveiling date, and then primary leak on a Danish site
has actually been pulled, but ASUS and EVGA are rumored to be launching their
own GTX Titan variants as soon as next week, possibly in the $1,000 to $1,200
ball park. That's a short wait for what could deliver a serious boost to
game performance, not to mention
bragging rights.
