GTX 880 EP Edition

[SinOfLiberty]

Tireless site WCCFTech, meanwhile, believes that it is necessary to recognize the flagship GM204 graphics solution generation Maxwell. The same database contains references and a board labeled "GM200" in the title. The source believes that GM200 will be available already at 20-nm technology.

Consistently challenging the authorship of such statements XtremeSystems.org forum participants claim that "professional" version of the new flagship NVIDIA GPU will be a place for eight cores architecture ARMv8. Their task will be to speedup - in fact, such an arrangement is an evolution of ideas in the Tegra K1 (Project Denver).

Obviously, a 512-bit bus and 384 texture sampling unit will receive exactly GM200, GM204 and become more affordable graphics solution with a 256-bit bus and 8 GB of memory in one of the variants. It is still early to talk about something with confidence

Interesting

[Rassilon]

With this many rumors this often, you'd think it was coming out this summer

[MercFX]

Affordable? Yes please!

We're having these "WCCFT" rumors since February, don't get excited. Also 2 threads of quoting the same source hardly count as "many rumors".

[EChondo]

So, what does EP mean? Extra power?

It's like Haswell-EP I guess. High end server grade stuff

[EChondo]

Ah, enterprise...

 

I like mine better.

 

Either way, bring costs down, minimize power consumption, and you've got yourself a damn fine GPU. Would love to see what this could be used for in a server environment.

 

Nvidia Grid 2.0?

It's Haswell-E not EP. Edit: Didn't realize you meant enterprise. 

[The_Strict_Nein]

Yeah, Haswell-E for enthusiasts and then I think only Xeons are Haswell-EP

[Askew]

EP = E-Peen.

[Si3Rra_7]

EP = E-Peen.

Dammit man , ugh , too late

[The Crazed Child]

256-bit bus with 8GB VRAM...yeah I'll pass on that Nvidia.

Mate, with the amount of rumours that have been coming out about all the major products over the last couple of years you could be forgiven for thinking the board of directors were all house wives.

very russian, such not understanding'

[ViruZ_HUN]

I still dont understand why its 256 bit?

 

Is it good or bad? Xplain?

People have the misconception that a 256 bus is automatically worse than a wider one, which is not necessarily true. What's important is how many giggle-hertz its operates at. A 384-bit bus at 1.75Ghz (GTX 780ti) performs pretty much the same as a 512-bit bus at 1.25Ghz (R9 290X). For all we know this 256-bit bus could be operating at a crazy 3 or 4 giggle-hertz. Or all these rumors could be completely wrong and it will turn out that the GTX 880 will have a 1024-bit bus, because there's really no way to know for sure.

to determine how much RAM can be accesed at any given time, you have to look at the bandwith. and bandwith is dependent on bus width and RAM speed. so a wide bus doesnt matter when ram is slow like it is with amd. they get the same bandwith as NVIDIA with fast ram and narrow bus. im not sure about this when it comes to GPUs, but CPUs used to be going more and more parallel when it came to memory bus, going up to 128b, but iirc they are now at 32b, since its more efficient to have fast serial access, than slow parallel access

[totjup5]

I look forward to an announcement

[jecho]

Enterprise Edition = $1000USD... You know cause its not meant for the "consumer"
