Yay for another $3000+ card! :banana:
Not to mention that if/when it comes out, the next generation will be literally around the corner, but hey, I'm sure some millionaires will be happy to have something to burn their green on. 🙂

Well, Titan Z is also reported as a 12GB buffer but we all know about how Dual-GPU frame buffer works.
I didn't see anywhere being mentioned about how many GB will this "possibly" new card have.
A teaser below. 😀

Was the same with Titan Z and GTX 980.

On this kind of product the price is not important at all.
It's just a demonstrative piece of "savoir faire" whatever it will be success or not, doesn't mater, as it will help sell the 940(???) or the GTX950.
A bit like the VW Golf W32... everyone bought the dirty TDI instead lol

It looks like HardwareCanucks went there. If he didn't then he sure put some effort in it. 😉
He doesn't mention the dual GPU, though. Just the GTX 980 (without the M) for laptops.
The second link doesn't contain much info. The first one has some benches.

Nvdia u envy much?
Y U NO ENVITE MR. HILBERT IN NEWARK 😕

Y??? SRIOUSLY??? WTF?!!!1!
Back to topic, if this is going to be a dual gm200, can't wait to see it's cooling sollution at the same size as a single gm200 :3eyes:

Soooo sweet if true. Hopefully not over 9000 dollars though.
Bring back the duals!
By that I mean affordable dual cards... not 2 to 3000 dollars but 690 type pricing.

Maybe there's an even more secret meeting?

Dual cards so so f-ing stupid.
Always slower and more expensive than 2 single gpus, and usually with less overclocking headroom.
Also they sell such small volumes that I can't imagine it being very profitable either.
They should make a single card with double the shader cores, double the ram, double the bus width and a decent stock OC and then we'll talk.
SLI scaling and sli compatibility will always be a problem and one I have always been unwilling to overlook.
Yakk
This I must agree with, the timing makes no sense with the HUGE speed upgrade coming next gen with the node shrink. Might be the fastest value drop in video card history, stay tuned...

690.
Same price as 2 680's. It had more overclocking headroom because they were downclocked to hit 300w and they were the highest binned 680 chips. Pretty sure Veteran got his clocked near classified 680's at one point. Nvidia also claimed the PLX chip on board resulted in less jitter than doing 2 separate 680's.
As for your second point, they can't do that. That's the entire point. There is an upper reticule limit on chip manufacturing, it's roughly ~600mm2. The 980Ti is already at that limit. The only way to get more cores is a smaller density on the process (16nm) or just make two of them and stick them together. Bus width and ram is essentially pointless. The Fury X has 1TB of bandwidth and it barely performs better if at all at 4K. It's also doing that on 4GB of ram. 6GB @ ~300GB/s is fine for now.
As for SLI, I tend to agree. In some games it's perfectly fine, in others it's not fine. I loved my 690, especially after they fixed all the initial weirdness with multiple monitors, but I'll probably never go SLI again.

Maybe an Iluminatti meeting. :wanker:
Yeah why not Mr.Hilbert should go there?That kid from Hw Canucks not deserve it.

Just...no.
Dual GPU cards are perfect for small but powerful builds. I have an mITX PC for my living room TV and would love to put this in there, provided it can fit and doesn't require a small nuclear plant to power it.
Yes, they are a small volume, low profit market, but there are people who chose them. The 690 was actually quite a popular card.
Come back in a year or more and you'll get your GPU with double everything. For now, technology limitations are kind of going to get in your way.
Lastly, SLI now works well. Go on, buy another 980 and see!
Edit: Ninja'd by Denial.
Turanis
People dreaming about 980TI x2 but should be 980 x2,more power and less more TDP.
"Less is more". 😉
Denial
Obviously, but that isn't happening with die shrinks and architecture changes.
Turanis
Who knows if will be dual gpu this year.
Is only marketing psychological war,to see how people will react if nvidia will put an X2 card on the market.If people react positively then may be a chance to they do it.
Denial
Maxwell with ARM CPU to offload driver and async compute. XDRAM for free anti-aliasing.
Koniakki
lol boss! I see what you did there... 😀
