Almost 5 TFlops single precision performance if that core clock speed is true.

Titan supercomputer alone already has 18,688 GK110 K20X cards, thats clearly more than 10,000.

Some moron claimed in previous years Fermi was not manufacturable, but that was debunked and proven well wrong that he kept quiet when GF110 shipped on launch day itself with plentiful quantities.

A total disaster in what way? The parts didn't have any dramatic flaws and sold rather well, netting nVidia a comfortable profit for mid-late 2010 and early 2011.
I'd say you're smart enough to be able to differentiate the desktop from the professional markets and not Tesla Kxx SKUs have nothing in common with the "Titan" SKU name. What's your point again?
It's anything but absurd to think that NVIDIA might go for a limited wafer run initially for GK110 desktop, which would also explain the very high MSRP rumors. What exactly has Fermi to do with the topic at hand?
That's still not answering my hypothetical question: how sure are you that NVIDIA isn't going at least for the time being for a limited wafer run for GK110 chips? Did I miss an announcement or any rumors at least for any salvage parts with lower performance and prices than the Titan?
Profit for sure and to that quite a sizeable margin if the rumored MSRP for the Titan are for real in the end.
Wow that's just monstrous! So basically 10TF in a single box with SLI and a minor overclock.
Who'd of thought we'd be getting that so soon.
I really hope Sea Islands is something special or it's not going to look good coming out 6 months later and still being slower (even if this card will be uber expensive and uber rare).
You know dual 6990's did that already without overclocking, right?
If only the K20X would have 15 SMXs enabled
For a moment I thought my memory was playing tricks on me.
Well for Tflops SP, you take 3 7970 for 1300$ and you have 12.3Tflops and 3.0 Tflops DP.. so i dont see why go for a 1800$ dual setup, specially if the rumor is true and they have cut the DP rate ( only 0,2 Tflops ) ..

If we're talking about gaming, DP is irrelevant. SLI >>> CF, so I wouldn't even want the 7970s unless I could sell them again

I was going to precise that, the card at this price is only relevant in single if you dont want go for SLI or CFX. Then you loose the benefit of use a single card. SLI and CFX i dont see the problem, I use both since the 6600-6800 series ( first SLI cards ) and x1800XTX PE ( then X1900XTX-1950XTX ). ( The same problem on both brand, the same over use of AFR lol ).
I will better like put a third 7970 bought cheap on my system ( as i have allready 2 watercooled ) instead of going to 2x Titan for 1800$.. Now im interested of taking a Titan, just for the fun of benching it. (Problem if the card is rare, here it will not sold under 1100$ ( ofc if the 900$ USD is right )

In case of SLI vs SLI you're right. But I would much rather have 2 Titans than 3 680s. A bit better scaling, probably less power consumption and more memory.
Yeah but you'll get far better scaling with 2 cards and half the input latency.
I'm not a big fan of SLI/Crossfire to begin with and I'd probably never use it myself but I see it as at least a semi desirable option. Beyond 2 GPU's and it just gets pointless IMO. That's why I didn't mention 15 TFLOPS with tri-SLI.
But maybe I should just have played it safe and stuck at 5 TFLOPS for a single GPU. Less room for argument!

A Sweclockers report mentions rumors that claim additional GK110 GeForce releases later in the year, although it doesn't actually say they are lower-end compared to Titan.
It's useful for GPGPU work of course, but then again you're not exactly running the cards in SLI in that case...
Anyhow, it'd be really really disappointing with a 900 dollar GPU that is crippled from the outset with disabled cores and stuff. I won't buy something like that, that's for sure.

Hehe, you say "900 $ GPU". Do you have an estimation on the real value of this chip? Perhaps it's only 90 $. And everything else is for profit, huge salaries, and of course advertisement campaigns.
