Possible NVIDIA GM200 Specs Surface (Not)

[Kaapstad]

Somebody sent our GPU-Z validation database a curious looking entry. Labeled "NVIDIA Quadro M6000" (not to be confused with AMD FirePro M6000), with a device ID of 10DE - 17F0, this card is running on existing Forceware 347.09 drivers, and features a BIOS string that's unlike anything we've seen. Could this be the fabled GM200/GM210 silicon?

The specs certainly look plausible - 3,072 CUDA cores, 50 percent more than those on the GM204; a staggering 96 ROPs, and a 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 12 GB of memory. The memory is clocked at 6.60 GHz (GDDR5-effective), belting out 317 GB/s of bandwidth. The usable bandwidth is higher than that, due to NVIDIA's new lossless texture compression algorithms. The core is running at gigahertz-scraping 988 MHz. The process node and die-size are values we manually program GPU-Z to show, since they're not things the drivers report (to GPU-Z). NVIDIA is planning to hold a presser on the 8th of January, along the sidelines of the 2015 International CES. We're expecting a big announcement (pun intended).

Can anyone spot why this is a fake.

Spoiler

When the original Titan came out it ran PCI-E 2.0 unless you used the hack.

If you notice in the link the spec table also has this err new card running PCI-E 2.0

I think all this faker has done is get hold of the original Titan specs and scale things up a bit forgetting about the PCI-E 2.0 lol.

Or I could be wrong.

I think if the GTX 980 comes with PCI-E 3.0 as standard they are not going to allow anything less on the Maxwell Titan.

Wasn't the 'hack' for nvidia PCIE 3.0 purely for SB-E? Don't recall Z77 having issues running 3.0 at the time.

As for the PCIE validation, its just reporting what the users system PCIE lanes are running at, if hes not on IB/IB-E or above then they will likely be running 2.0

Not saying its legit or anything, as it has the memory down as running 6600mhz, would have been expecting 7000mhz tbh.

Would anyone in their right mind test it on a rig not capable of PCI-E 3.0

Having said that I have seen some of the tech sites do much worse.
