Geforce Titan rumours.

....I fear we will be screwed in euroland though 
WANT!
God its going to be expensive tho!
On here:
680(4GB)'s are around £500
690(2GB)'s are around £800
Baring in mind it might be near 690 speed but without ANY sli issues AND with LOTS more memory its gotta be ~£1K!
I think you could be right lol, that is a no go, next year you could buy a full pc for that price with better graphics!
Wonder what the size will be and whether it will fit in a Prodigy
As for size, best guess would be k20 boards which according to this PDF are 10.5" long, there is an image on Chiphell showing the K20 next to a 690.
Of course it may not use that board at all so it could be completely different.

WCCFTech is a rubbish site IMHO. I'll start paying closer attention to this once someone other than they (and SWEClockers) starts posting something solid.
For the time being, all I'm convinced of is that a card (code-)named the Titan is indeed in the works, and that's more than I believed 1-2 weeks ago. I'll wait for actual reviews before believing the rumoured specs.

Usually the chassis used for tesla are the opposite way around to desktop cases - not so high and longer with more clearance behind the cards and very little above.
I've also seen some used in bigger applications where the cards slide in making contact with a fixed power connector somewhat like HDDs in a NAS and is then locked down into place.

You miss the point again my friend, Nvidias refresh will be GK114 about 15% better than current, while they can match the competition with half a chip this type of card was not going to happen, and may not again next year even !
So I can guarantee you will not build a full pc + better GFX for this price.
We know less about the refresh than we do about Titan, so can you really say with any confidence that it will be 15% faster? It might be only 5%, but it might be 100%
We don't know what the performance of Titan will be either, it could be anything from 15% to 120% faster than the 680. It might be even be more than that.
It will be interesting to see who is right, you or weehamish. Going to come back next year just to find out
You know what i was getting at, i just built a pc with a 7970 for 1k, its cheaper to build a full PC then go bit by bit, i know sometimes its not but most times it is.
It all comes down to the 780 really if its near it in performance or not.
Also the power connecters are at the back because its easy that way and more tidy imo.

Haha yeah its all rumors atm but look at the 6990 a 7970 is just as good now and they were released like 8 months apart if im right?
Looks like it, can see Nvidia's point. Hmm sell it as a Tesla for £2000 a pop, or as a GPU for £500? Let's sell 20,000 of them as Tesla's first.
And the GPU's that dont meet the Tesla quality get binned into the £500 Titan

Could well be the fastest thing out there until 9970/Maxwell. If that's the case it might be a decent enough investment.

Everything is speculation, but until Maxwell turns up big gains are not going to happen without adding more transistors to the chip. I'm sure both ATI and Nvidia try to make what is comparable to the competition as cheaply as possible, not the most powerful card possible, it's all about money and profit !
In business as usual, sure.
By the sounds of it Titan is a limited run part though. They COULD release a stupidly fast card and it not matter on future sales as only a set number will be produced from k20 spare parts.
Depending on HOW fast and how limited it could be a GPU that appreciates in price in the short term?!
