UPDATE: PNY said that the comments previously attributed to its representative were a result of misunderstanding between him and a journalist from a German web-site. The KitGuru news-story is altered to reflect this.

Nvidia Corp.’s GeForce GTX Titan X overwhelmed many enthusiasts with 12GB of onboard memory. While for a gaming graphics card this looks like an overkill, PNY believes that it may not be enough for a high-end professional graphics solutions.

PNY’s Quadro M6000 for professional digital content creators, which is going to hit the market in the coming weeks, is based on the GM200 “Big Maxwell” graphics processing unit with 3072 stream processors, 192 texture mapping units, 96 raster operations pipelines and 384-bit memory bus. Just like the GeForce GTX Titan X, it is equipped with 12GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory. But what is excessive for a consumer product may be not enough for a professional adapter that costs several thousands of dollars or pounds. In fact, some believe that even 12GB may not be enough for professionals working on extremely complex 3D models in ultra-high-definition resolutions.

A representative for PNY told ComputerBase web-site that 12GB of onboard memory is the maximum amount of memory that can currently be installed on a graphics card like the Quadro M6000. It is unknown whether PNY or Nvidia plan to create a GM200-based graphics solution featuring 24GB of memory, but keeping in mind that 8Gb GDDR5 memory chips are incoming, it should be technically possible provided that the GM200 supports high-capacity GDDR5 ICs.

Professional graphics adapters feature hardware capabilities disabled on consumer-grade graphics cards that better accelerate select things in professional applications. In addition, Quadro graphics cards feature special drivers optimized for professional programs and certified by developers of the latter.

Since Nvidia “Maxwell” architecture lacks double-precision floating point arithmetic units, the GM200 demonstrates dramatically low results in FP64 operations. As a result, while the Quadro M6000 will be appreciated by graphics professionals, engineers who need to run emulations that require FP64 precision will get better performance using a previous-generation Quadro K6000.

KitGuru Says: Nvidia yet has to announce recommended price of its Quadro M6000 12GB graphics adapter. Without any doubts, the new card will cost a lot since even the Quadro K6000 costs around $4000. Now, imagine what kind of price tag would a Quadro M6000 24GB carry…

Nvidia Corp. made quite a surprise this week, when it unveiled its forthcoming top-of-the-range GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card at Game Developers Conference. Unfortunately, the company decided not to reveal a lot of details about its new flagship graphics card and while we do know that its performance is high, we have no idea how high it is. A good thing to know is that Nvidia plans to disclose all the details about the adapter in mid-March.

Nvidia plans to make public all technical specifications and key performance figures of the GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card at its GPU Technology Conference that kicks off on the 17th of March. It is possible that on the same date Nvidia will also reveal additional details about its product and architecture roadmaps and give a glimpse into the future of graphics processing units and GPGPU technologies.

There are a few things that we know about the GeForce GTX Titan X from official and unofficial sources already. The graphics card is powered by the code-named GM200 “Big Maxwell” graphics processing unit that is expected to feature 3072 stream processors, 192 texture units, 96 raster operations pipelines and 384-bit memory bus. The GM200 contains about eight billion transistors and is the world’s most complex GPU ever created. The GeForce GTX Titan X carries 12GB of 7GHz GDDR5 memory, has TDP of around 250W and supports up to 4-way multi-GPU configurations. The price of the card is expected to be around $1349, based on information from unofficial sources.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_x

Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X will outperform previous-generation GeForce GTX Titan Black in all modern games and applications except those that require double precision FP64 compute capabilities. Even the GM200 will not be able to beat its predecessor, the GK110, in high-performance computing tasks (e.g., simulations) that require FP64.

Nvidia did not comment on the news-story, but confirmed that it will reveal more information about the Titan X during its GPU Technology Conference.

Nvidia Corp. demonstrated its upcoming GeForce GTX Titan X graphics cards in its booth at the Game Developers Conference and allowed the press to take pictures of the board. Just like its single-chip predecessors from the ultra-high-end league, the novelty uses an ultra-quiet cooler, is multi-GPU-capable and is not very power hungry. Moreover, the card is already in production.

Legit Reviews has published a lot of GeForce GTX Titan X’s photos and revealed some additional peculiarities about the graphics card that promises to be the fastest single-GPU graphics solution on the market for some time thanks to massive amount of stream processors, 12GB of GDDR5 memory and Nvidia’s “Maxwell” architecture.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_legit_reviews

The Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X will continue to use blower-type dual-slot cooler introduced two years ago along with the original GeForce GTX Titan. The new cooler is completely black and has holographic word “Titan” embossed on it. The cooling solution is expected to remain very quiet and efficient. The length of the graphics card seems to be similar to that of its predecessors.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_legit_reviews_s1

The new flagship graphics adapter from Nvidia has two MIO connectors for multi-GPU SLI configurations, one 6-pin PCIe and one 8-pin PCIe auxiliary power connectors, three DisaplyPort, one HDMI as well as one DVI output. This means that the graphics card can support 2-way, 3-way or 4-way SLI multi-GPU configurations (just because someone thinks that 3072 stream processors of the GM200 are not enough to play games fine and 12288 SPs are just what the doctor ordered) and will not consume more than 300W of power, which is not that lot by modern standards.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_legit_reviews_2

The graphics card, which Legit Reviews pictured, featured all the stickers typically found on commercial graphics cards that are in production. Therefore, Nvidia can probably start to ship the new Titan X graphics card shortly.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_legit_reviews_3

The card carries 24 GDDR5 memory chips and has a rather sophisticated voltage regulator module.

Nvidia Corp. unexpectedly unveiled its highest-performing single-chip gaming graphics card at the Game Developers Conference on Wednesday. The new GeForce GTX Titan X will emerge on the store shelves in the coming weeks and will be the pinnacle of the “Maxwell” architecture. Let’s recap what we already know about the GeForce GTX Titan X and what should we expect from it.

The Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card with 12GB of onboard GDDR5 memory will be powered by the code-named GM200 graphics processor that contains over eight billion of transistors. The GPU, which is also known as the “Big Maxwell”, is the most complex graphics processor ever made. 12GB of memory indirectly confirm that the graphics processing unit sports 384-bit memory bus, which, given the “Maxwell” architecture (and ROP to memory controller ratio), points to 96 raster operating units. Earlier it was reported that the GM200 would feature 3072 stream processors and 192 texture units, which seem to be accurate information.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_x

The “Big Maxwell” is projected to offer around 33 – 50 per cent higher performance than the GeForce GTX 980, given its configuration, depending on applications. However, keep in mind that Nvidia’s “Maxwell” was not designed to handle professional computing tasks, therefore, it does not support native double precision FP64 compute capabilities. Even the GM200 will not be able to beat its predecessor, the GK110 in high-performance computing tasks (e.g., simulations) that require FP64.

nvidia_gm200_gpu_geforce_titan_unofficial

If Nvidia managed to maintain transistor density of the code-named GM204 graphics processor with the GM200, then the chip itself should be pretty large, about 615mm², which will result in extremely high cost. If the GM200’s die size is indeed 615mm², then a 300mm wafer can produce hold only around 95 of such chips. TSMC’s revenue per wafer processed using 28nm fabrication technology was $5850 last year. Therefore, even if GM200’s yield rate is at 100 per cent (all dies are good and can run in full configuration), one chip should cost Nvidia over $61 without testing and packaging. At 85 per cent yield, one GM200 chip costs the GPU designer around $73 without testing and packaging.

The GeForce GTX Titan X graphics board will carry 12GB of GDDR5 memory running at 7GHz. 12GB of memory is not only excessive for today’s video games, but is also very expensive. For some reason, Nvidia decided not to use SK Hynix and Micron’s premium GDDR5 components capable of running at 8GHz, but even current memory sub-system provides 336GB/s of bandwidth, which is a lot. Keeping in mind that Nvidia’s “Maxwell” GPUs use memory bandwidth very efficiently, the new GeForce GTX Titan X should demonstrate unbelievable performance in ultra-high-definition resolutions, such as 3840*2160.

The ultra-expensive GPU and a lot of memory will naturally make the new Titan X a very expensive graphics card. Previously it was reported that the board will cost $1349 in retail when it becomes available.

Keep in mind that many of the details about the GeForce GTX Titan X are yet to be confirmed by Nvidia at the GPU Technology Conference later this month.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: The real surprise about the GeForce GTX Titan X is that Nvidia decided to install 12GB of GDDR5 memory on a consumer-class graphics card. This will ensure that the board’s performance will not be limited by memory capacity any time soon, but this naturally increases the price. What remains to be seen is how high performance of the new Titan X will be in real-life applications. While the board will clearly leave behind existing graphics solution, it is not completely clear whether it is worth $1349.

Nvidia Corp. plans to reconsider the price of its single-chip flagship graphics card when it launches its new GeForce GTX Titan later this quarter. According to a media report, the new ultra-high-end graphics adapter will cost whopping $1349, which is considerably higher than the price of its predecessors.

The GeForce GTX Titan family of graphics cards have never offered great price-performance ratio because they are overpriced and are designed to deliver the best performance possible at any cost. The GeForce GTX Titan and Titan Black graphics cards cost $999 and were not the best choices for the money. Apparently, the upcoming GeForce GTX Titan powered by the code-named GM200 graphics processing unit will be priced at $1349, an unprecedented price for a consumer-class graphics board, reports Expreview web-site.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_black

The media report claims that the new GeForce GTX Titan can feature either 6GB or 12GB GDDR5 memory, which partly explains its high price. GPU configuration of the new GeForce GTX Titan is unknown, but it is believed that the “Big Maxwell” graphics processing unit will feature 3072 stream processors, 192 texture units, 96 raster operating pipelines and 384-bit memory bus.

It is expected that the new GeForce GTX Titan will be considerably faster than its predecessors in video games thanks to the second-generation Maxwell architecture, higher amount of stream processors as well as high clock-rates.

Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: The rather extreme price of the new GeForce GTX Titan could mean two things: Nvidia does not care about the price of the graphics solutions and is not interested in selling tens of thousands of such graphics cards. The new GeForce GTX Titan “Big Maxwell” offers performance that is considerably higher than that of its arch-rival, the new AMD Radeon R9 graphics card.

Traditionally Nvidia Corp. releases its top-of-the-range single-chip GeForce GTX Titan graphics cards in February. However, last year the company used its own GPU Technology Conference (GTC) to introduce its dual-chip GeForce GTX Titan Z graphics card, the company’s highest-performing graphics solution to date. Apparently, the company plans to do something similar this year with its new graphics card based on the code-named GM200 GPU.

SweClockers reports that Nvidia will officially introduce its new graphics cards based on the GM200 graphics processing unit known as “Big Maxwell” at the GTC 2015 conference that will take place on March 17 – March 20, 2015. Among the graphics adapters expected to be introduced at the trade-show are next-generation GeForce GTX Titan for video game enthusiasts as well as Quadro M6000 for professionals.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan

Specifications of graphics cards powered by the GM200 graphics chips are unknown, but it is believed that the “Big Maxwell” will feature 3072 stream processors, 192 texture units, 96 raster operating pipelines and 384-bit memory bus.

Nvidia has had A1 revision of the GM200 graphics processor at hands since early October, 2014. It is highly likely that the chip and graphics cards on its base are ready to go to the market and their launch timeframe is determined by marketing reasons.

Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

KitGuru Says: Keeping in mind that the GM200 graphics processing unit is designed for market segments where demand is hardly flexible, it does not really matter when exactly Nvidia rolls-out the new chip. Professionals will get the new Quadro M6000 at any price-point once it becomes available, whereas gamers will make their decision regarding purchase of the new GeForce GTX Titan based on its performance comparison against competing graphics solution from Advanced Micro Devices.

A Chinese blogger has published images of Nvidia Corp.’s forthcoming code-named GM200 graphics processing unit as well as a graphics card powered by the GPU. The new chip will be, as expected, not only the most powerful graphics processor ever designed by the company, but has all chances to become the largest GPU ever made.

The GM200 graphics processing unit from Nvidia is marked as “1441A1 TAA156.000”, which indicates that the chip was made on the 41st week of 2014, the second week of October. The GPU carries “GM200-400-A1” moniker, which may mean that this is a fully-fledged chip with all of its execution units (i.e., stream processors, texture units, raster operations pipelines and other) enabled. Since Nvidia has had fully-functional A1 version of the GM200 chip at hands since October, it is likely that the new graphics solutions are on-track to be released commercially shortly from now.

nvidia_gm200_gpu_geforce_titan_unofficial

The GM200 graphics card, which was pictured by a Chinese blogger at Baidu presumably late last year, is marked as “180-1G600-1102-A04”. The prototype board sports three DisplayPort 1.2 and one HDMI 2.0 connectors, it also has contacts for one dual-link DVI-I connector, which will be implemented on commercial graphics cards. The length of the graphics board is unclear, but expect it to be similar to that of the current-generation GeForce GTX Titan Black graphics card since power consumption of the GM200 should be comparable to that of the GK110 (and therefore voltage regulator modules of two GPUs should be similar).

nvidia_gm200_gpu_geforce_titan_unofficial_2 nvidia_gm200_gpu_geforce_titan_unofficial_1

The graphics board carries GDDR5 memory chips from SK Hynix marked as H5GQ4H24MFR-R2C, which have 4Gb capacity and are rated to run at effective 7GT/s data-rate. Given that the card employs 24 GDDR5 memory ICs, it has 384-bit memory bus, 12GB of memory as well as 336GB/s peak memory bandwidth. It is unclear whether the “180-1G600-1102-A04” graphics card is a prototype of Nvidia’s next-gen high-end professional Quadro M6000 solution, or the upcoming next-generation GeForce GTX Titan.

nvidia_gm200_gpu_geforce_titan_unofficial_4

VideoCardz web-site has attempted to compare die size of the GM200 to that of the GK110 and the GM204. While such assessments should be taken with a huge grain of salt, if the comparisons are more or less accurate, then the GM200 is larger than the GK110 (which has a die size of 551mm²). It is possible that the die area of the GM200 is comparable, or even larger, than that of the GT200a (576mm²), the largest GPU ever made.

nvidia_gm200_gpu_geforce_titan_unofficial_comparizon_videocardz

Previously it was reported that Nvidia’s GM200 graphics processing unit sports 3072 stream processors, 192 texture units, 96 raster operations pipelines and 384-bit memory bus. The “Big Maxwell” is projected to offer around 34 per cent higher performance than the GeForce GTX 980, given its configuration.

Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

KitGuru Says: While it is obvious that the GM200-powered graphics cards will be the highest-performing Nvidia GeForce graphics boards ever made, its market success will depend on the price. The solution will likely face tough competition from AMD’s upcoming Radeon R9 with HBM memory and if it does not end up as the world’s fastest graphics card, Nvidia will not be able to price it at $999 and expect decent sales. Meanwhile, a graphics chip with a die size of 570mm² – 580mm² is rather expensive to manufacture.

A web-site has published what it claims to be specifications of Nvidia’s next-generation Quadro M6000 graphics adapter as well as GM200 graphics processing unit. If the specifications are correct, then we should expect the GM200 to be a very powerful graphics solution.

VideoCardz web-site claims that it has found GPU-Z validation results of Nvidia’s next-generation high-performance professional graphics card called Quadro M6000, which is based on the GM200 graphics processing unit. The graphics card reportedly carries 12GB of GDDR5 memory, the amount that is expected to be featured on Nvidia’s forthcoming professional graphics card.

The GPU has 17F0 device id, which has never been used before. However, it is impossible to verify whether the device id is correct.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_1

According to the publication, the GM200 has 3072 stream processors, something that has been revealed by multiple rumours. However, it is unclear whether 3072 is maximum configuration or not. If the graphics solution has 3072 SPs and Nvidia has not changed architectural configuration of Maxwell GPUs, then it also features 192 texture units, 96 raster operations pipelines and 384-bit memory bus.

Previously it was reported that graphics cards based on the GM200 will be 30 per cent faster than the GeForce GTX 980. Since the GM200 features 33 per cent more stream processors than the GM204, then it is logical to assume around 30 per cent performance difference.

Nvidia is expected to release its GM200-based graphics solutions sometimes in February or March.

Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: 3072 stream processors is a logical number of SPs for GM200. However, we cannot be sure that all of them will be enabled on commercial products. The chip is pretty large and its yields cannot be as high as yields of the GM204, therefore, some stream processors may be disabled for redundancy reasons, at least on first products based on the GM200.
