Nvidia GM200 GPU (GTX Titan II) Spotted
Okay, spotted is a big word here and Titian II is just a name that is totally unconfirmed of course. But it is a trend on the web these days that people lookup shipping bills. And wccftech noticed that shipping data at Zauba.com shows that Nvidia has been moving a sample of a GPU tagged as GM200 core (yes again). Earlier in July we noticed as well. This basically means that Nvidia has taped out the early A1 revision GPUs and engineering samples. This could mean a high-end launch Maxwell GPU as soon as Christmas IF wafer yields are decent enough.
Next month Nvidia is expected to release the GeForce GTX 870 and 880 based on GM204. As expected, the GM200, much like the like the GM204 will be a Maxwell GPU. We are a little unsure whether if the TSMC 20nm node still is giving issues and is used. If that one is problematic then GM200 would be a 28nm part. This means that these processors will be HUGE in size, perhaps even over 620 mm² so we find that a little doubtful as heat would become an immense issue next to wafer yields. Earlier rumors already have indicated that GM200 would feature more than 4000 Shader processors albeit that is gossip of the highest level. Expected though is that the memory bus will be widened up towards 512-bit giving this product a heck of a lot of bandwidth. The GM200-based "GeForce GTX TITAN II" could launch in the first half of 2015, but everything in this post is could have and would have.
Early July we already noticed this shipment:
Nvidia GM200-GPU transport list manifest. But this one was just spotted as well, Nvidia is definitely moving around the GPUs.
This is the new manifest GM200-CS0-A1 and a newer GM200-CS1-A1
Ealier last month some photo's of a mysterious PCB and GPU showed up as well. This could be GTX 870/880 though. This could be Nvidia pending flagship graphics card - don't ya hate the blurry Mosaic ?

Close battle now between Nvidia and Radeon,I myself perfer Nvidia but have been considering getting a pair of R9 290's in cf, that amount of power per dollar cannot be beat I tell you.I am going to be building a whole new system Intel based more then likely.

Only do R9 290/R9 290x if you need the 4GB Vram.
If you are on 1080p, you are better off getting GTX 780 or GTX 780Ti.
GTX 780 is actually faster than the R9 290x OC'd.
http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-290X-vs-GeForce-GTX-780
Just to be clear on that, Nvidia seems to be faster in most of today's games according to the info here. Either way you chose it'll be fine. Not all games support Mantle, and Mantle seems to benefit low to mid-range cards the most.
If you are planning on 4K gaming, then by all means get the 4GB R9 290/290X's.

Thanks for the reply Ghost... Iam not sure what would look better either 3 x 1920x1080 in eyefinity or Nvidia surround or just 1 4k monitor? The R9s are alot cheeper to find used but I like having phys x option for some of the games We play. In a ideal world we would have both right lol?

Thats so funny you said gtx280.
I remember that very well they luanched for about $625us then in a few weeks Ati had the 4870 and 4850 out and was alittle slower then the 280 but was 2 hundred usd cheaper so Nvidia dropped the price down to 425ish. nvidia had to drop the 9800gtx+ down $100 also.
I had like 4 or 5 9800gtx/gtx+ and a gx2 so i did not get a 280 at launch
but had a few 260's for like $300us after price drops.
I remember it well, there was hell on over here in the UK, they hadn't been out a month, when Nvidia cut their prices by hundreds, hilarity ensued

What, Titan2?
GM200 with full Double Precision? Out of nowhere now on 28nm? Idk kinda doubt it or did 20nm really mature that much? I mean they just released GK110 quadros with 16gb ram ~month ago, if there is a titan2 there will be new quadros too, but kinda doubt it
Although that photo now @ main guru3d site shows 16x 512mb so total 8gb and with 512bit @ 7ghz could be a ~448gb/s monster.
This would probably play 4K @ 60fps for sure and all that next-gen U4E, etc.. Nvm lower 1080p or 1440p
