Geforce Titan rumours.

I just wonder who will buy this beasty card when it comes out at extremely high price point?

Greg and a few others have also said they will as long as it isn't over £1000.

how do warranties work with removing the heatsinks on these highly controlled cards. will companies like evga still allow us to remove them?

I very much doubt it. Replacing the thermal paste is enough to void your warranty with most companies.
 
Are you sure? Just to me it seems unlikely they'll want anyone messing around with a card that if damaged is potentially non replaceable.

They have allowed it with all their cards, so I would find it hard to believe. It wouldn't hurt to get some confirmation before hand though.

Generaly, if you break it, you will not be covered, which I agree with.
 
Quick round up of latest confirmed and non confirmed. If anybody else has anything to add, Sweet :)

What is being predicted so far is:

  • Name to be Geforce GTX Titan and not linked to the 780
  • Only EVGA and Asus to supply Titans
  • 384 Bit memory bus (confirmed)
  • 6GB GDDR5 (confirmed)
  • 2688 Cuda Cores (confirmed)
  • 837Mhz core clock speed (EVGA and Asus may have higher stock clocks)
  • 876Mhz boost clock
  • 1502Mhz Memory clock speed (6008Mhz effective)
  • 288.4GB/s bandwith
  • 14 SMX clusters (confirmed)
  • 224 TMU's
  • 48 ROP's
  • 521mm2 die size
  • 7080 million transistors
  • 6+8 pin power connectors (75W + 150W)
  • 85% the performance of a 690
  • Priced at $899 - $1400
  • Paper launch 18th February (confirmed)
  • expected in shops 24th February
  • Less than 10,000 to be produced

It wouldn't surprise me if EVGA released a hydrocopper version - well, that may depend on the voltage situation too.

Can't get my head around the lack of backplate though :confused:

I'm quite tempted... but it would mean doing a complete overhaul of my gaming PC - Q9550 wouldn't really cut it beyond single 680/7970 performance which I'm finding hard to justify as I've got a high end i7 laptop for non-gaming stuff.

I can't believe it doesn't come with a back plate also. I knew they were putting half the memory on the bottom of the PCB but would have thought some sort of back plate would be covering it. Maybe there is and it is removed or not added yet?
 
Looks to me like they shifted that stacked DVI as far as possible from the exhaust, which is better than nothing. hope they have a sensible fan profile on these cards and I think they will run very cool.
For me this thing with lower clocks and volts than 680 is going to be right in the sweet spot for kepler. I'm sure others will want to screw the nuts of it, but I think performance is going to really shock the world especially at high resolutions and SLI setups at std clocks and volts :D
 
I'd hope so, I know the memory isn't going to get super hot, but still it should have something to combat the heat they give off.

Time will tell I suppose.
