Nvidia ‘Big Daddy’ Maxwell GM200 GPU Alleged Specs Leaked – GTX 980 Ti or GTX Titan X?

[patrickjp93]

So it means its a non credible rumor?

Given there is a reliable backup source, it's meh. The suggested specs are reasonable.

[Noctus]

Hoe can you "ti" something that's already sitting at max cudas lol?

GM204's full spec is 2560 cores. The 980 comes with 2048 active. It's quite simple really. Ship chips with fully unlocked GM204 and you get 980TI.

Umm I read the 980 was already sitting at full GM204.

512-bit bus, 7000MHz memory, 750 more cores, same clock rate... Yeah 50% stronger sounds about right.

lol, it's not a 512bus on this rumored card, it's 384, the memory has been 7000 since last gen so whatever. SLI 980/ 1 990 will still be faster.

Nope. Nvidia never releases a fully unlocked card out of the gate, and if AMD doesn't push them, they won't. http://www.techpowerup.com/mobile/200061/nvidia-gm204-and-gm206-to-tape-out-in-april-products-to-launch-in-q4.html

GM204 is as unlocked as GM204 will ever get, and it's already in the 980.  Anything else will be based on GM200 and GM206.

Sorry, I meant to say "with 512... It's possible to have a 50% performance boost" and at that point the memory bandwidth will have gone up too.

And then there's the GK 210 waiting in the wings. Seems like 28nm is going to be around a while.

It's a rumor mill and a news article recycler basically. No credible journalism.

I AM THE TITAN X RUMOR MILL

lol

Thats what you were talking about,

 

btw that "X" looks like it was put on in MS paint.

It was. I made the rumor myself remember

[miyabwah]

These WCCF reactions posts are pointless WCCF AREN'T the ones who are writing up these articles out of thin air and only for "clickbait" Their source was PCTUNING, if anything THIS would be more appropriate - http://i.imgur.com/8XlDWY5.png

that's why this image exists

[LlamaDom]

I don't like how fro the 600 sites onwards Nvidia gas been releasing their"high end gps" as the high end only to release even better ones a couple of months later when everyone has already invested in the first ones.

GTX 980ti?  Don't mind if I do!

[NateGSR117]

The original name for GK110 was GK100, but GK100 was scrapped and GK110 was the revision. Hence the naming scheme, GM200. The successor to GK100. 

Okay cool, thanks for the explanation, it makes sense now.

[ACatWithThumbs]

It won't be called Titan because it's not Kepler they probably use another name.
The reason why it was called Titan is because it uses the same GPU as the TITAN supercomputer.
And a 980Ti makes only sense if they do a die shrink for the next series other wise it will be a 1000 series card.

[bcredeur97]

this would make sense as a competitor to R9-390X (if that rumor is true anyways)

[Jammy Duel]

Having bought a 980 I'm hoping that this is reserved for the next series, or at least that 390X isn't enough to out do 980 to force nvidias hand on some form of early release. Assuming that there will be 2 generations of Maxwell (not including 750/Ti and the few cards in 800M) they need to be pulling some extra performance for the top end cards and unless they are working on yet another Maxwell GPU this will have to be it so surely we won't be seeing it in the geforce lineup until next series which is likely to be when? A year from now.

The fact you doubted a Maxwell-based Titan should have been the first red flag. Follow the money and the facts. Nvidia has a compute and power efficiency deficit against Intel's Xeon Phi.

They have to develop Maxwell Quadros and Teslas to compete with it, and those will inevitably be based on a larger chip with more cores. We'll see 200/206 come in the form of the 980TI Titan Prometheus.

[Mooshi]

Unless you're doing actual rendering or gaming maxed out on a 4k monitor, who cares. With lots of crap on steam and retro pandering, only a select few AAA titles will be really utilizing the hardware if this is for gaming.

Where did I say that I doubted a Maxwell based titan?

By saying you hoped the chip would be reserved for the next series. It's a pretty strong implication. We'll see GM200/206 come in on 980TI, Titan X, Quadro, and Tesla.

I stick the titan cards independent of the numbered geforce cards. And for all we know they might be doing the same as with 700 series: weakened titan-> "1000" series (weakened at the top)-> full power w/ out DP and less VRAM-> full power titan with the titans, 1080 and 1080Ti on GM210/200 and the rest of the 1000 series on 206 or whatever the other new maxwell is. I do wonder though whether Titan Z was successful enough to do it again, or whether it will be 2x 1080(Ti) instead to be more competitive with AMD in the dual GPU part of the market.

[sci.fi.man]

GTX 980Ti and Titan X is not a bad thing actually unless nvidia mess it up with ridiculous price. maybe they sell 'next-gen' Titan X with $1500? or Titan XX (dual Titan X, lol) at $4000? who knows?  :lol:

[LukaP]

Maxwell just released, people already speculating on Maxwell v2... -.- the attention span of the tech community is literally less than a week.

That's because all the pertinent info comes out in about a week. We have specs, benches, and performance all fleshed out. Now we wait for AMD.

I'm still hunting for Broadwell U news/rumors, but the net's been quiet on Broadwell, Carrizo, and Skylake.
