Nvidia Corp.’s latest ultra-high-end graphics cards offer unbeatable performance and do not really have direct rivals. Unfortunately, when it comes to prices, not everything looks truly good, especially in Europe. Fortunately, stores like Overclockers UK and their partners this week offer substantial discounts on Nvidia’s flagship product.

The suggested retail price of the Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card is £899 in the U.K. Many graphics boards cost more because they come with custom cooling systems and are factory-overclocked, some adapters cost a little less to attract attention. For a limited time only, OcUK, Palit and Zotac will offer their GeForce GTX Titan X graphics cards for £799.

All flagship Titan X graphics boards are made by a contract manufacturer under Nvidia’s supervision. The company then sells add-in-boards to its partners, which is why all GeForce GTX Titan X graphics adapters look similar. As a result it does not really matter what brand name does a Titan X carry: they are all equally good from quality point of view.

gdc-2015-nvidia-unveils-its-titan-x-gpu_z2g2.1920

The Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X is based on the GM200 graphics processing unit with 3072 stream processors, 192 texture mapping units, 96 raster operations pipelines and 384-bit bus. All Titan X graphics cards are equipped with 12GB of GDDR5 memory operating at 7GHz.

Keeping in mind that initial demand for Nvidia’s new flagship is over, there is GeForce GTX 980 Ti that offers similar performance and there is AMD’s Radeon Fury incoming, it is about time for resellers to start reconsidering premium prices of the GeForce GTX Titan X.

EVGA on Friday introduced one of the world’s first mass-produced GeForce GTX Titan X graphics cards with a hybrid liquid cooling system. The new board will hit the market in June and will be one of the world’s highest-performing single-GPU graphics adapters. For those, who already own a GeForce GTX Titan X, EVGA offers to buy its hybrid LCS separately.

At present Nvidia’s GeForce GTX Titan X graphics cards deliver unprecedented levels of performance for single-GPU graphics solutions. While there are numerous factory overclocked Titan X graphics adapters that can demonstrate even higher performance than the regular ones, the vast majority of them use Nvidia’s reference cooling systems. Coolers designed by Nvidia are rather efficient for stock clock-rates, but in overclocked conditions, they become loud and still cannot cool down graphics cards to acceptable temperatures. As a result, many suppliers of add-in-boards install their own cooling solutions on pre-overclocked Nvidia GeForce GTX Tian X graphics adapters.

evga_geforce_gtx_titan_x_hybrid

EVGA was among the first makers of graphics boards to offer a GeForce GTX Titan X with a pre-installed water-block for enthusiasts with DIY [do-it-yourself] liquid cooling solution earlier this year. On Friday, the company became the first maker of graphics cards to introduce a GeForce GTX Titan X with a hybrid closed-loop liquid cooler, which promises to combine maximum cooling efficiency and relatively quiet operation. EVGA’s hybrid liquid cooling solution features a water block with copper base, a large 120mm radiator, perfectly sealed tubes and a fan. The self-contained cooler is likely produced by a contract manufacturer, such as Asetek. According to EVGA, its hybrid cooling solution can cool down Nvidia’s GeForce GTX Titan X graphics processing unit to around 53°C under load, whereas the standard cooler can only cool the GPU down to 85°C under the same load.

evga_geforce_gtx_titan_x_hybrid_1

The EVGA GeForce GTX Titan X Hybrid graphics card is based on the fully fledged GM200 graphics processing unit with 3072 stream processors and carries 12GB of GDDR5 memory. The GeForce GTX Titan X Hybrid adapter uses printed circuit board designed by Nvidia, but has considerably higher out-of-box GPU clock-rates: 1152MHz/1241MHz base/boost frequencies compared to 1000MHz/1075MHz recommended by Nvidia. In fact, the add-in board has the same clock-rates as the liquid-cooled EVGA GeForce GTX Titan X Hydro Copper. Like other GeForce GTX Titan X graphics cards in the market, EVGA’s factory-overclocked add-in-boards come with 7GHz memory and end-users have to boost frequencies of GDDR5 themselves.

KitGuru Says: The EVGA GeForce GTX Titan X Hybrid looks like a very solid product with serious performance. If you would like to have something that is more powerful than just a Titan X and for some reason do not want to obtain a Radeon R9 295 X2 or wait for the Radeon Fury, then the new graphics adapter from EVGA may be just what you need.

Nvidia Corp.’s GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card offers extreme performance that is enough for playing all modern games even in ultra-high-definition resolutions. However, true enthusiasts never settle with any level of performance and they constantly demand more. Apparently, Nvidia is mulling about something it can offer to those, who are not completely satisfied with the current flagship product.

The Santa Clara, California-based developer of graphics processing units and application processors is considering to launch a version of its GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card with a hybrid cooling solution akin to that used on AMD’s Radeon R9 295X2 as well as on select EVGA GeForce GTX 980 graphics adapters. The system, which will combine the advantages of liquid cooling with air cooling, is expected to let Nvidia set considerably higher clock-rates of the GM200 GPU to further increase its performance.

Bits & Chips web-site claims citing sources close to Nvidia that usage of hybrid cooling system could allow Nvidia to increase default frequencies of the GeForce GTX Titan X (1000MHz/1075MHz – base/boost) by around 250MHz, which is a significant improvement. The hypothetical GeForce GTX Titan X Ultra or GeForce GTX Titan X Black could let Nvidia further increase the price of its top-of-the-range solution as well as to offer unbeatable performance. At present chances that such graphics card will emerge on the market are not very high. However, should AMD’s Radeon R9 390X beat the GeForce GTX Titan X across-the-board, Nvidia could retaliate by releasing an improved version of its Titan X with better cooling and higher clock-rates.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_x_hybrid_sycom

In fact, Sycom, a Japan-based PC maker, recently started to offer its clients GeForce GTX Titan X graphics cards with a closed-loop liquid cooling system, reports Hermitage Akihabara. The board retains casing of the original cooling system and heat spreaders that cover memory chips. EVGA and Overclockers UK offer GeForce GTX Titan X graphics cards equipped with waterblocks by EKWB for owners of custom liquid-cooling systems.

Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

KitGuru Says: It is noteworthy that with its GeForce GTX Titan series of products Nvidia does not really endorse custom cooling systems by its partners. Therefore, instead of offering them a hybrid cooling solution with “GeForce GTX Titan X Ultra”, Nvidia could simply allow makers of graphics cards to install their coolers on the GeForce GTX Titan X products and factory overclock them beyond default rates.

Even though Nvidia Corp.’s latest high-end graphics card costs more than its predecessors in Europe, demand for the graphics adapter is surprisingly high. According to a German retailer, customers are getting more GeForce GTX Titan X graphics cards than previous-generation products of the same class.

“The demand exceeds the available [hardware],” said a spokesperson of CaseKing.de in an interview with ComputerBase web-site. “We have already [sold] impressive numbers and we are getting new [GeForce GTX Titan X] to the warehouse.”

Mind Factory, another reseller from Germany, confirmed that sales figures of the GeForce GTX Titan X are higher than shipment figures of the original GeForce GTX Titan.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_x

The GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card is 30 – 50 per cent faster than Nvidia GeForce GTX 980, but it costs nearly two times more than the latter. People who buy graphics cards like the GeForce GTX Titan X get it because it delivers impressive performance in ultra-high-definition resolution (e.g., 3840*2160).

Nvidia’s flagship GeForce GTX Titan X graphics processing unit features 3072 stream processors, 192 texture mapping units, 96 raster operations pipelines and 384-bit memory bus. The graphics card features 12GB of GDDR5 memory.

The official manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of the GeForce GTX Titan X in the United Kingdom is £879, which is around $1300. Due to different taxes in Eurozone countries, the GeForce GTX Titan X costs starting from €1149 in Germany, €1199 in France, Spain, Holland and Belgium, €1249 in Italy and the Baltic states as well as €1269 in Finland.

KitGuru Says: It is rather surprising that demand for the GeForce GTX Titan X exceeds supply in certain cases. On the other hand, there were reports that demand for Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 980 was so high that some retailers increased prices of such graphics cards. It will be very interesting to learn about demand for AMD’s forthcoming flagship Radeon R9 390X graphics card. The graphics solution promises to offer very high performance in 4K UHD resolution while costing “only” about $700. But will demand for it exceed that of the Titan X? Only time will tell.

It took professional overclockers less than a week to prove that Nvidia Corp.’s latest GM200 graphics processing unit also known as the “Big Maxwell” can run at clock-rate that exceeds its default frequency by two times.

Vince “K|NGP|N” Lucido, one of the world’s top overclockers who collaborates with EVGA and owns a company that produces accessories for extreme cooling, this week managed to overclock a reference Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card to whopping 2020MHz for the GPU and 8200MHz for memory. The particular graphics board is currently the highest-performing single-chip graphics adapter on the planet.

TitanX_Stylized_010

The heavily overclocked GeFore GTX Titan X graphics card was cooled down using liquid nitrogen (LN2). It is unknown whether Mr. Lucido had to increase voltages of the GM200 GPU and the GDDR5 memory to achieve his remarkable result.

Using his test system based on an Intel Core i7-5960X processor overclocked to 5672MHz (also cooled-down using liquid nitrogen), an EVGA Intel X99 mainboard and 16GB of 3.30GHz DDR4 memory, Kingpin scored 24027 points in 3DMark FireStrike and 11612 in 3DMark FireStrike Extreme benchmarks, which are both new world’s records for single-GPU setups.

geforce_Gtx_titan_x_2200mhz_3dmark

As it turns out, Nvidia’s GM200 is a great overclocker despite of the fact that it contains 8 billion of transistors and was tuned for maximum energy efficiency, not for maximum overclockability.

Since Nvidia does not sell its GM200 graphics processors to its partners, but supplies them GeForce GTX Titan X graphics cards produced under its supervision by a contract manufacturer, we will hardly see any custom designed GM200-based graphics adapters any time soon. However, as soon as voltmodders find out how to increase voltages on reference GeForce GTX Titan X graphics cards, expect new records from professional overclockers.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: The world’s record GPU frequency is 2.30GHz (set by Nvidia’s GM204 GPU several weeks ago). It will be tremendously interesting to see the maximum frequency of the GM200 and its performance at that clock-rate.

It is not a secret that Nvidia Corp.’s GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card was designed to be an ultimate graphics card for enthusiasts, who usually overclock their hardware. The graphics adapter offers very high performance out-of-box, but, as it appears, even the best things can be improved by overclocking.

Specialists from PC Games Hardware flashed an Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card with a modified BIOS that increases voltages of graphics processing unit and memory. Thanks to increased amount of power available to the components, the graphics adapter could be overclocked to 1550MHz/8000MHz (core/memory). The journalists used Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV to cool-down the graphics card.

GeForce_GTX_TITANX_Stylized_03

Exact voltages of GPU and memory were not revealed, but the reporters indicate that the graphics board managed to remain perfectly stable at 1.50GHz/8GHz in all games in 4096*2160 resolution. Not all titles worked stably at 1550MHz GPU frequency. Still, even at 1.50GHz GPU clock-rate the graphics board demonstrated unprecedented performance for a single-chip graphics adapter.

It is surprising that Nvidia’s GM200 graphics processing unit, which contains 8 billion of transistors, can run at 1.50GHz at all. Typically, complex GPUs are hard to overclock.

KitGuru Says: Looks like the GM200 graphics processor will be a good overclocker, just like its predecessor, GK110. What remains to be seen is whether the GPU will be able to hit 2GHz and higher clock-rates, like the “Big Kepler” did when cooled-down using liquid nitrogen.

Despite of early rumours, Nvidia Corp. decided not to increase recommended price of its top-of-the-range GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card from $999 to $1349 in the U.S. However, at current exchange rates and with value added taxes in Europe, the graphics adapter will be considerably more expensive in this part of the world than in the U.S.

Typically companies like Nvidia and AMD adjust prices in different parts of the world so that to make them more or less similar and avoid “grey” imports from one country to another. However, due to the recent meteoric rise of the U.S. dollar against many currencies, this will not be exactly the case this time, which is why the latest GeForce GTX Titan X graphics adapters will be significantly more expensive in mainland Europe and the U.K. than in the U.S.

The official manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of the GeForce GTX Titan X in the United Kingdom is £879, which is around $1300. Overclockers UK offers only two graphics cards at such price price-point: one from OcUK itself and another from Palit. All other graphics boards cost more than that. Nvidia’s flagship offering will cost 30 per cent more in the U.K. than in the U.S.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_x

Due to different taxes in various countries in Eurozone, the GeForce GTX Titan X will cost €1149 in Germany, €1199 in France, Spain, Holland and Belgium, €1249 in Italy and the Baltic states as well as €1269 in Finland, reports Fudzilla.

The top-of-the-range graphics board from Nvidia will be priced at CHF 1199 ($1212) in Switzerland, SEK 11999 ($1293) in Sweden, NOK 11199 ($1387) in Norway and DKK 9499 ($1363) in Denmark.

Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card is powered by the GM200 “Big Maxwell” graphics processing unit with 3072 stream processors, 192 texture mapping units, 96 raster operations pipelines and 384-bit memory bus. The graphics adapter carries 12GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory onboard. A contract manufacturer makes all GeForce GTX Titan X graphics boards under the supervision of Nvidia.

Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X will be available in stores later this month.

As Nvidia continues to keep virtually all information about its forthcoming GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card under wraps, unofficial sources continue to feed the world with preliminary information about the forthcoming solutions. One of the web-sites has published what it claims to be the first benchmark results of the GeForce GTX Titan X.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan

VideoCardz has managed to obtain alleged benchmark results of Nvidia’s upcoming flagship graphics card. The web-site does not reveal such essential information as testbed configuration, driver versions and other details, it also does not disclose whether its journalists tested the new graphics card themselves or obtained results from third-party sources.

Based on the numbers published by VideoCardz, the GeForce GTX Titan operating at its default clock-speeds of 1GHz/7GHz (GPU/memory) scores:

  • 22903 points in 3DMark 11 Performance, which is 34.8 per cent faster compared to reference GeForce GTX 980;
  • 7427 points in 3DMark 11 Extreme, which is 39.9 per cent faster compared to reference GeForce GTX 980;
  • 17470 points in 3DMark FireStrike, which is 36 per cent faster compared to reference GeForce GTX 980;
  • 7989 points in 3DMark FireStrike Extreme, which is 36 per cent faster compared to reference GeForce GTX 980;

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_alleged_performance

If the benchmark results are accurate, then the GeForce GTX Titan X performs just as expected: around 33 per cent faster than the GeForce GTX 980 in typical cases. For more detailed performance results, check the source.

Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

KitGuru Says: Traditionally, take all unofficial benchmarks with a grain of salt because Nvidia can still update drivers or even alter clock-rates of commercial graphics cards. Nonetheless, given specifications of the GeForce GTX Titan X, it is logical to expect the board to have 33 – 50 per cent performance advantage over the GTX 980.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An unknown person has benchmarked an unknown graphics card using SiSoftware’s Sandra benchmark, according to online database of the program. Based on the specification of the hardware, the person benchmarked a graphics card powered by Nvidia Corp.’s code-named GM200 graphics processing unit. If the specs are correct, then expect graphics cards featuring the new flagship GPU to offer 50 per cent higher compute performance when compared to GeForce GTX Titan Black.

Based on an entry in the SiSoftware’s database, Nvidia’s GM200 graphics processing unit features 3072 stream processors, 24 streaming multiprocessors (SMM), 3MB L2 cache and 384-bit memory bus. If the architecture of SMMs and graphics processing clusters (GPCs) of the GM200 is similar to that of SMMs and GPCs of the GM204, then the chip sports 192 texture units and 96 raster operations pipelines. The graphics card based on the GM200 GPU features 1.1GHz/1.39GHz GPU frequencies as well as 6GHz memory clock-rate; the board is equipped with 12GB of GDDR5 memory.

nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_1

If the information in SiSoftware’s database is accurate, then graphics cards based on the GM200 will offer a dramatic performance advantage over existing GeForce GTX Titan Black graphics adapters thanks to increased efficiency of the Maxwell architecture (by up to 35 per cent per stream processor on shader-limited workloads), increased number of SPs (by 6 per cent) and amplified frequency (by 23.7 per cent).

It is expected that the first graphics cards powered by the GM200 graphics processors will emerge in the first quarter of 2015. It is interesting to note that the new graphics boards will compete against AMD’s Radeon R9 390X graphics adapters that are also projected to arrive in the Q1 2015.

Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

KitGuru Says: If next-generation flagship graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia – the Radeon R9 390X and the GeForce GTX Titan 2015 – emerge around the same time in early 2015, this will be the first time in many years when comparable graphics solutions from the two companies hit the market at once and have to compete head-to-head. This should be quite interesting, as both companies will have to adjust price and performance in order to position their products in the best possible way.
