If thats true (4Gb and 8Gb for a dual card) can you imagine Nvidia PR department.

AMD did the "full 4GB" thing when that 970 story broke.

Nvidia would be like "50% extra RAM over the competition" for their 980ti.

Or worse still "Pick up the best bang for buck TitanX with 3x the memory". :eek:

Its a good thread to have Kaap ^^^^ , at the end of all this we can see who can be trusted and who are the fakers.

That is the plan.

Everyone can see which of these websites has the worst track record.

The GM200 cards are all PCI-E 3.0 not 2.0 like in the article.

That was GPU-Z data Kaap, taken @ idle hence the weird PCIe stat.

http://videocardz.com/54171/nvidia-quadro-m6000-with-gm200-gpu-specifications-leaked

After giving it some thought I think it is a bit harsh to bust them on the PCI-E standard and will change the article to true.
