NVIDIA may decisively hold on to the single-GPU performance lead, with its GeForce GTX Titan graphics card, but at roughly $1000, it could attract a very small market. According to a SweClockers report, NVIDIA is looking to woo gamers just ahead of Summer with the second GK110-based GeForce GTX graphics card. Similar in specifications to the fabled Quadro K6000[/url=http://www.techpowerup.com/181146/NVIDIA-Readies-Second-GK110-based-SKU.html], the new SKU could feature 13 out of 15 streaming multiprocessors on the GK110 silicon, working out to 2,496 CUDA cores, 208 texture memory units, a 320-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface holding 5 GB of memory, and 40 ROPs. Given that there's a deep ravine between the ~$450 GeForce GTX 680 and ~$1000 GTX Titan, NVIDIA could pick a price-point in the middle. The report claims the new SKU could launch some time between July and August, 2013.

Personally, the GTX 680 and the Titan are not that far off performance wise between each other and for a card to perform less than a Titan and to be priced between the GTX 680 and Titan is pretty asinine in my opinion. What are your thoughts on this? Would you buy the Titan "2" for $700 and it's only a 5%-10% performance increase over the GTX 680?

Yeah I'm really not too sure there's much of a market for such a card. I just picked up two 670's for $720 and I'm pretty sure I'd do it again if they offered me a $700 card. The price to performance would be way better on the 670's.

Milk the cash while they can. Think I'll just wait for the next generation when the same performance is half the price (or near abouts)
