NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Black Edition

A few days before the official Launch the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti, there was talk about a supposed Black Edition of the new high-end graphics card. Instead of the 6 and 8-pin connectors, it is said to be equipped with two 8-pin ones, and theoretically consume up to 375 watts. In addition, it was said to have no TDP limit and significantly higher clock rates - provided the cooling would cope with it. It would also feature up to twelve gigabytes of video memory. Recently, more pictures have shown up.

Story adn photo courtest to Hardware luxx:

However, they no longer show a GeForce GTX 780 Ti, but rather a GeForce GTX Titan. It is conceivable could the California graphics forge will revive their previous flagship, renaming it GeForce GTX Titan Ultra or simply release it as GeForce GTX Titan Black Edition. And it could then also feature the full configuration of the GK110 architecture, with higher clock speeds than the GeForce GTX 780 Ti. The table below is based on past rumors and shows the possible specifications.

Whether it actually is an engineering sample, or whether the rumors are once again just hot air remains to be seen. NVIDIA does and did not comment on any rumors.

That near future is so many years away that the Titan/780 series will be obsolete by then as far as enthusiasts are concerned. Maxwell will be out next year, bam, Titan down the toilet. At least they say it will be out next year... which they've been saying for 2 years now.

yes looking forward to 4000 to 6000 SP card with 6/8GB VRAM

Oh sure, I'll buy a couple with 12GB vram, or **** it I'll buy 3, hell, make it 4, why the hell not. It will only be like 5-6k $. pfff...

That's what I said about the 480 with 1.5gb :eyes:

Those 4k monitors and beyond with games starting to have bigger texture sizes might push 6 gb in the near future.

To make use of 6gb of vram you would need to have 4 cards in sli and use custom AA flags via inspector. Noway would any ingame AA push that amount.

And even if there was a game that was available to do that the core clocks are way way to low. You would need a core clock of around 2000mhz atleast.

nVidia is pushing hard and if true this is their middle finger to AMDs latest offering.

I have a feeling this battle won't stop any time soon because once AMD releases their dual card nVdia will follow. I hope next year we'd get flooded with a wide range of GPUs.

However I doubt you could push this thing any further.

TDP is going to be off the charts once MSI/GIGA/ASUS gets their hands on it. Keeping it cool won't be easy by the looks of it.

I love the TDP : Unlimited
