[Updated] NVIDIA announces Tesla K80, first graphics card with 24GB RAM

[Frosty11]

NVIDIA Tesla K80 - GK210 GPU

NVIDIA has finally unveiled its fastest professional graphics card. Tesla K80 features two Kepler GK210-DUO GPUswith a total of 4992 CUDA cores, 416 TMUs and 96 ROPs. Two GPUs are accompanied by 24GB GDDR5 memory across dual 384-bit interface.NVIDIA TESLA K80 is twice as fast as TESLA K40, with 2.9 TFLOPS double-precision computing power. The single-precision horsepower is reported somewhere at 8 TFLOPs, which should give you an idea of how fast is it compared to normal gaming graphics cards.Thanks to dual-384-bit interface, this card offers 480 GB/s of memory bandwidth. That’s slower than TITAN Z, but TITAN only has 12 GB GDDR5 memory, whereas TESLA K80 comes with 24 GB.TESLA K80 also supports GPU Boost, similar to K40. Speaking of older Teslas, K80 went through small design update. We have similar magnesium alloy known from GEFORCE GTX TITAN coolers. It reminds me of GRID appliance (as shown below)According to WCCFTech, NVIDIA TESLA K80 will cost around $7000.

Here are the new details about the Tesla K80 posted by AnandTech.

As far as the specifications are considered NVidia seems to have decided to max out everything they could. They have stuck with 384 bit bus though as linus pointed out in his recent video.

holyyyyyyyyyy shietttttttttt

[Octavialicious]

Wow, that's a sexy looking card.

[minibois]

Kind of disappointing they didn't have Titan in the name

[snowComet]

Can we call it graphics card? It has no video output, and it seems like a compute card more than a graphics card...

[-TesseracT-]

Beast card

[AlwaysFSX]

First, that's one sexy card.

 

Second, if that's a full GM210 core, then the 210 chip has 2,496 CUDA cores in whatever will be the highest level gaming card. That's a butt-ton of performance omg.

[Guest Kloaked]

I bet it can't even run AC: Unity at 1080p/60FPS

[StingBull]

Who would need such a thing? (24GB ram?!)

Animation studios?

[-TesseracT-]

read this on here http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2616/tesla-k80.html

We recommend the NVIDIA Tesla K80 for gaming with highest details at resolutions up to, and including, 5760x1080.  

[-TesseracT-]

Animation studios?

Yes

[LukaP]

How would it perform in games?

read this on here http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2616/tesla-k80.html

It wouldnt. i mean, it has no output. and drivers would really limit it

[LukaP]

Yes but like 24GB is a lot ol

ill give you a hint, the more ram a render engine has, the more it can use.

[ComradeHX]

Cooler looks like shit.

[ACatWithThumbs]

That card is insane that's like a GTX980 with a GTX6680 tacked on to it.

 

[Rock1m1]

:'O

[-TesseracT-]

ill give you a hint, the more ram a render engine has, the more it can use.

Yes ofc I realize now, I didn't think before I wrote.

[Mojo-Jojo]

2.9TFlops.. I remember a couple years ago 1Tflop was groundbreaking.

[-TesseracT-]

480GB/s! Not bad!

[LukaP]

480GB/s! Not bad!

240 per GPU. so nothing amazing. otherwise it would need to have 12GHz (ish) memory

[Sauron]

WCCFtech says we should take this with a grain of salt...

[-TesseracT-]

240 per GPU. so nothing amazing. otherwise it would need to have 12GHz (ish) memory

Keep correcting me, I don't know jack shit

[KamiKatze]

1. Tesla, like the 65 nm Tesla from over 5 years ago? jk

 

2. Where's the fan? Or is that just a concept design, or is it passiveley cooled, lol?

[LukaP]

Keep correcting me, I don't know jack shit

Thats why you arent the best of us
