Nvidia preparing new Geforce with GK110

Boomstick777 · 5 Oct 2013 at 10:27

It's not just AMD which reloads before the high season with new graphics. Even rival Nvidia has more models in the pipeline, including at least one variant with monster circuit GK110.

Nvidia is expected to present the new graphics card in a gaming event in Montreal, which takes place on 16-17 October.

I think it was inevitable that Nvidia wouldnt let AMD take any sort of single GPU performance crown.

"Nvidia is expected to present the new graphics card in a gaming event in Montreal, which takes place on 16-17 October. "

290X and now Nvidia has new upcoming cards, one thing is for sure... This is going to be an expensive month for Kaapstad.

So this card is either going to be a Titan Ultra or a 770TI, filling the gap between the 770 and the 780? The 770TI seems to make more sense. I was under the impression that a full titan wouldn't add much more than a few percent extra performance over the current titan. Please correct me if im wrong.

I wonder what would be more expensive for NV, a new card or a price drop, to counter the new amd chip?

GTX790 yeee

Buckster · 5 Oct 2013 at 10:49

how much memory it'll have will be the key one for me

2gb just doesn't "feel" enough now

and the premium you pay for the 4gb varients doesn't really seem that justify

I think they are implying that their will be a few new GPU's, GTX 750 ti, GTX 770 ti and GTX Titan Ultra.

The Titan Ultra Ultra could be the full enabled 2888 core part that's being mentioned now and again on different sites. If clocked well, it could be a fair jump in performance over the current Titan and mean Nvidia retain the performance crown, although I'm sure it'll be priced out of most people's reach, so AMD will likely have the performance VS price offerings.

It's just a marketing stunt, same as the Origin PC thing, to stop you giving money to AMD this month.

How many drug dealers am I going to need to assassinate?

For me the 780 is currently the fastest consumer single gpu, most likely to be over taken by the R290X this month, Titan belongs in the land of the Ares and Mars cards.

Don't be ridiculous. They won't release a crazy card again

Is your thought process just basically "what would be good for AMD in this situation"?

Diagro · 5 Oct 2013 at 11:27

No. I came to my conclusion because the 20nm are due next year.. what is the point? There is no point tbh...

The titan and new amd card will be around the same.. what's the point in flogging a dead horse?

JediFragger · 5 Oct 2013 at 11:32

ePeen, nVidia love their ePeen.....

Don't underestimate its power

Because when you have the flagship 'fastest GPU crown', it creates like a rainbow effect in subconscious marketing, people will think, 'Nvidia have the fastest GPU's' and then feel better about buying into Nvidia at say the midrange that they can afford.

So just having that crown is a way of advertising. The 'Titan' worked very well for Nvidia. So it is very possible that Nvidia could do this again, 20nm is still a ways off, a new flagship now would take some of the attention away from AMD and Nvidia would retain the crown.

But if they can get all 16 smx units working with a tidy clock, it makes sense for them to release it. I doubt they can in honesty as Titans are pretty hot as they are but I am not a technician and wouldn't know where to start.

One last push before 20nm seems viable and it wouldn't be aimed at price per performance customers.

Full GK110 780ti priced at £600-650 with 6GB, titan is made EOL.
