[Rumor] GTX Titan II

@Slick 

You should make a habit of checking the Tech News section here right before the Wan Show. If you had, you would not have had such short notice about the Titan II info like you mentioned today.

Id be happy if they stop naming all their future cards the same thing. It is now getting kind of ridiculous.

How so? They haven't been reusing names, except for updates within the same generation, which is 100% normal. The name Titan II is just the name that was made up for the purpose of the article. Even if Nvidia did reuse it it would make sense since the Titan is a very specific card that is technically outside their normal gaming cards. It identifies it as the card that supports the double point calculations for rendering.

Can't wait to see it. 4000 Cuda cores plus the fact that each cuda core is more powerful than last gen will truly make this 4K ready. Plus DAT 512 memory bus sounds nice.

Awe ok that makes since.. Also, I have to disagree if Nvidia reused the name, as it's just unoriginal and they could name it some other beast name. They already have The Titian, Titan black, and the Titian Z. It would just be uncreative if they named another GPU "Titian II"

But, again, calling it the Titan helps to identify that it's a specific and unique card that is outside their normal line up. It's a hybrid Workstation/Gaming GPU, 100% unique in the entire world of GPUs. It's would actually be kind of stupid to change the name.

Both AMD and Nvidia stick to progressive naming schemes that just add or change one small part. GTX 200, 400, 500, 600, 700 and now 800 series. AMD 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000 series. We get typically the same variations within each so they can be compared between generations so us consumers know which cards fall into the different categories of low, mid and high range cards. GTX 280, 480, 580, 680, 780. Changing that first number is no different than adding a number to the Titan and calling it the Titan II. But again that Titan II name is fictional at this point.

As far as the Titan Black, Nvidia has used that label for a long time to signify top end versions of their cards. The first one I can remember is the GTX 260 Black Edition.

Meh.

 

Until there are affordable 4K displays that don't use shitty TN panels to cut costs, these GPUs are useless.

They are still needed for even 1440p. As I already pointed out in this thread, a 780 Ti can barely push 60fps in some games, and in others it falls far short. Again, just at 1440p. The quality of the TN panels being used in the good 4K monitors from ASUS and in the new 1440p ASUS Rog Swift is much, much better than what the average color snob is used to as far TN panels are concerned. Hell, even the TN panel in the BenQ monitors was able to impress Linus and he won't use anything except IPS.

The truth is IPS lacks the ability to perform in the areas that are actually important to gamers, and not color snobs. Super high refresh rates and super low response times, along with things like flicker free, motion blur reduction, blue light reduction, all of those things are more important in gaming than 100% perfect color reproduction. So with a 780 Ti barely being able to push 60fps, and often falling short at 1440p, these cards will help those people and potentially bump them up to being able to push 120fps or 144fps for use with higher end gaming monitors.

After all, anyone who buys one of these cards is not going balk at a $700+ monitor.

What does nVidia say about its Cuda Core level?

ITS OVER 4000!

[DeViLzzz]

I am interested to see 4K benchmarks in games with physX on and at ultra max settings with these new cards.

 

Not kidding ...

Nvidia ... the way games were meant to be played.

[geforceftw]

I want one. I hope it doesn't cost more than the titan black...

[monopolyman]

Is that at all related to the alleged 880 PCB? Seems like it is...

TITAN BROWN

Well if it's GK210 it isn't Maxwell surely?

 

GF110 = Fermi

GK110 = Kepler

GM107 = Maxwell (750ti)

GK210 = Maxwell...? According to article.

 

So I'd assume it'd be GM210 to make sense. (I believe the 'big' silicone GPUs with large die size are usualy 110s).

GM210 would the GK110. GM104 would be the ripoff II GK104.
