Dual GPU Titan

Just an idea I had, picture is fake, I shopped it lol.

But is it possible? Two Titan GPU's on a single PCB?

 

I doubt Nvidia would do it, but I suppose someone like EVGA could take it upon themselves (sort of like HIS and Powercolor did with the 7990).

 

Sorry if the title and picture got you excited because you thought it was real ha.

 

Here's a real confirmed picture of the 790 though:

lol that would be cool. not the titan, the microwave ;)

It would be a pain in the @ss to fit 12gb of vram on a single pcb though, unless the try to pull a 13/14".

I think it is possible to see dual GK110 GPUs (that the GPU model in TItan) on one PCB in future. It is not something that will surprise me.

That's not a microwave, that's a 790.

That thing would be f...ing expensive. I expect it would cost even more than 2 Titans due to engineering and stuff

If that were true, it will be a nightmare for case compatibility. 2 GK110's in one PCB will make the card 13"+.

I can't see why not. GK110 chip itself is as big as a coin (not really larger than previous gen Fermi GPUs or Kepler GK104). Maybe the problem will be the memory as it is 6GB for each GPU, but i did say 2 GK110 not that the possible video card will have 12GB total memory. If the Voltage regulator module is your concern, yes maybe it is a problem as two GPU cores will need more power so VRM must be more beefy (so potentially larger). But i don't think this is as much of a problem as ARES II's VRM is placed on only one not so big PCB ( and have in mind AMD GPUs do consume more power, Titan is very energy efficient). :) I am no expert here so this is just a theory.

They only put 6gbs on it because they had plenty of room, so in effect they could do a dual titan gpu, and knock the ram down a touch : )

The issue is not being able to make the card. That is physically possible. The problem I was saying size since it'll be as big or maybe bigger than the Ares II was. Kind of defeats NVIDIA's MO which is smaller and more efficient cards.

Although it would take up less space than 2 titans so it would technically still be smaller and more efficient.

 

Its very unlikely to happen, the price of such a card would be insane and the sales would be so low that it just wouldn't be cost effective.

The length would be the problem. Not many mid-range cases could even fit the Ares II.

Although the target demographic probably wont have a mid-range case, after all if you can spend 2k on a video card you can probably afford to spend a bit more on your case.

That's not a microwave, that's a 790.

It would probably be the best value graphics card in the world.  Just imagine... Playing battlefield 4 ultra on 3 screens and cooking a pizza at the same time XD

One of Titan's target market were SFF systems.

a duel titan will look like a 690 with titan instead of Titan on it

I'd love to see 2 Titans duel. LOLJK  :P

[hamsor]

A nice idea but it'd be a really overpriced card. I think the single titan itself is really overpriced too and i dont think that anyone could user 12gb effectively.

I've seen benchmarks of 2 Titans beating 2 690's so it might be a more viable option.

 

Also, VRAM does not stock on multigpu configurations. So 2 Titans in SLI will only have 6GB of effective VRAM.

Oh yeah forgot about that VRM in sli

[Chivpcgamer]

They had plenty of room on the pcb which is whu they stuck 6gigs on it : )
