The long awaited GK110 GPU is currently in use for Tesla (K20 etc) cards equipped with up-to 2880 Shader / ALU processors. This GPU running at only roughly 732 MHz  to date has not been released for consumers, and we have been wondering for a long time now when it would make its way to the consumer market. Well, CeBIT is coming, Crysis 3 is launching in roughly the same time frame and boom .. all of the sudden this rumor pops up. Over at SweClockers the rumor circulates that the consumer end GK110 GPU might end up as a graphics card called "GeForce Titan". We don't have its exact dimensions but the chip itself packs 7.1 billion transistors and could be released late February.

We're not 100% sure what to think of it just yet though as the current fastest supercomputer in the world also uses name (Cray Titan, located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory). Next to that it would be kind of weird from NVIDIA to move away from the 'GTX' naming. Then again, you never know eh ? The GK110 silicon physically packs 15 SMX cores and 2880 Shader processors CUDA cores, it makes sense for NVIDIA to be able to divert from that and disable an SMX core for better yields, power consumption and so on.

Meaning the final product can very well end up with 2496 CUDA cores. The memory currently is clocked at 5.2 GHz GDDR5 over a 384-bit memory bus. It does have 6 Gb of it on the Tesla models.

The guesstimated MSRP currently stands at $899 -- But can it play Crysis 3 ? ;)
