NVIDIA Working on GK110-based Dual-GPU Graphics Card

[lizart951]

 

GeForce GTX 295 showed that its possible to place two GPUs with ludicrously high pin-counts next to each other on a single PCB, and if you get a handle over their thermals, even deploy a 2-slot cooling solution. NVIDIA might be motivated to create such a dual-GPU graphics card based on its top-end GK110 chip, to counter AMD's upcoming "Volcanic Islands" GPU family, or so claims a VideoCardz report, citing sources.
The chips on the card needn't be configured, or even clocked like a GTX Titan. The GTX 780 features just 2,304 of the chip's 2,880 CUDA cores, for example. Speaking of 2,880 CUDA cores, the prospect of NVIDIA developing a single-GPU GeForce product with all streaming multiprocessors on the GK110 enabled, the so-called "Titan Ultra," isn't dead. NVIDIA could turn its attention to such a card if it finds AMD's R9 2xxx within its grasp.

 

 

New graphics cards this year

New models would probably include more GK104/106 rebrands. NVIDIA could launch more GK208 entry-level models as well. We are probably expecting more Titanium cards with boost mode enabled. With GeForce 600 series NVIDIA launched three x50 cards, I expect 700 series to be no different.

GeForce GTX 790 in few months?

However this is not all. NVIDIA is also working on a new high-end model. At this point I don’t know if this is the so-called TITAN ULTRA with fully enabled GK110 GPU or, more likely, GeForce GTX 790 with two GK110s. Assuming that the full GK110 processor is somewhat dedicated to the professional segment, and NVIDIA made dual-gpu cards a standard, my bet is on GTX 790. You are probably wondering how much would it cost. I’m more than sure that $1000 range won’t be exceeded. This card is made as a response to AMD Hawaii cards which will arrive in two months. Then NVIDIA will most likely (slightly) lower their prices on GK110 graphics cards.

In the end, Santa will have a lot of work this Christmas.

GeForce 800 series “Maxwell” in Q1 2014

Just as I told you in my previous posts, NVIDIA will launch next series sooner than expected. I was told by one of the manufacturers that NVIDIA will release Maxwell series in early 2014. It is expected that GeForce 800 series will arrive in the first quarter of 2014, somewhere between February and March. What it basically means is that the chances for 20nm process are low. Of course NVIDIA could already have first 20nm samples sooner than that, but TSMC will not be ready for mass production till June 2014. Thus, unless my source is wrong the first Maxwell GPUs will not be made in 20nm fabrication process, but if they are expect huge graphics cards shortage and more paper-launches.

yay competition!

[jonasa97]

I told you guys :P

 

 

This is FAKE!

[LaoJr]

Well Done Nvida your gonna be eating my wallet again

[mymouthandi]

I would love to see this and see how much power it consumes. 

[Andi]

it was possible to build a GTX590...so a GTX 790 should be a easy thing!

[M-ursu]

790

Yes, i am sherloc.

[delet my acc pls]

I told you guys :P

 

A waterblock on that would look beast

[Nicktrance]

I told you guys :P

 

 

This is FAKE!

 

I think it will look a bit more like this: 

 

[LaoJr]

wait for asus to do there move with it "Mars the new because we didn't release last year 3" it will be called. full clocked 780 or titans just think of how beast that is.

[kuddlesworth9419]

I thought this was a given that Nvidia would release a 790. They have been doing it for too long to stop. I just hope that the GPU's aren't underclocked. 

[Alex(PlayMedium)]

That thing will draw so much power, it isn't even funny..

[SteepGnomeKing]

Just need my GK110 mobile chips.

[totjup5]

Imagine the power draw if you had 2 of these and an FX 9590 lol.

[lizart951]

i think this will be with triple slot cooling solution on air or maybe with water like ares 2

[silencerbob]

im siting here with 2x 780's

[James_AJ]

K6000.

 

Also, who's gonna need that power within 3 years...

[rici]

K6000.

 

Also, who's gonna need that power within 3 years...

People who use 4k monitors

[lizart951]

i wonder what will be the price 

[Matto22]

Looking forward to seeing how this card runs.

[Damonster5000]

I want there to be a 790 so that the 690 will come down in price then I can get a 2nd one

[Travianw135]

I told you guys :P

 

 

This is FAKE!

Maybe add another length of that heatsink to the picture, then we'll be close.

[jonasa97]

Maybe add another length of that heatsink to the picture, then we'll be close.

Like this?

 

[old reece frost]

I think it will look like this.

[zip2k4]

Like this?

 

hahahahahaha

 

but, in all honesty, i'm a bit worried with the trend of having it bigger and bigger, i dislike it.

 

because even the 680s i have on my rig is bending and i have to put supports for it, would be annoying to "fix" the bend if you will...
