Nvidia BigK GK110 Kepler Speculation Thread

Another piss poor performance bump for far too much money

This is definitely the card that the 680 should have been ~1 year ago. We're being fleeced!

Incredibly low power (for it's performance according to Nvidia Benchmarks).

For those, confused by the advertised DP rate.

 

And yet, Anand is wrong.

896*2*837 != 1.3 TFLOPS but rather 1.5 TFLOPS.
1.3 would indicate a clock-rate around 725 MHz for the DP-Units.

 

The DP units don't have any special own clockrealm, the whole chip is limited to that 837MHz max when DP is enabled

So, virtualization and dynamic parallelism are off the table, I guess.

 

Hopefully this will end the stupid 10,000 cards only rumor. Like I said, not every GK110 will have working ECC, those can be perfectly fine as GeForce and sold as gaming cards. Though I'm wary of AIBs cheap plastic shrouds in custom coolers, those are cheap looking and doesn't even compare to Titan's superior aluminium and magnesium cooler.

 

Indeed. Either that or the 1.3 TFLOPS figure in the slides is wrong.

 

Unless it's an arbitrary lockdown (oh noes, you're not running a Tesla), they shouldn't be. Of course you can't use any of those outside of CUDA.

^ Shocker, I would never have expected this

 

Then they just didn't check their math (whoever).

 

I have a request in to NVIDIA for clarification on that. 1.3 TFLOPS shows up multiple times, but so far I'm always hitting 837MHz when in full speed DP mode.

I didn't ask about virtualization, but it wasn't mentioned as being removed. Dynamic parallelism was also not on the list of disabled features.

 

Edit: not seen Ryan post..

 

Me too. I'd be willing to take a bet, you'll get the answer much quicker.

 

So this seems like this is a "look at my engineering prowess" kind of a product yet provides the end user not so much of a boost. Given the performance, it seems if you are on a budget, 2 x 680s are the way to go especially if one is a gamer. If not on a budget, then knock yourself out with 2 x titans. It is an impressive product that is for sure, but I for one fail to see who this product is targeted at. It seems sort of a professional workstation type card and part gaming card....is that a correct summation?

 

On a budget spending 860 €, if not on a badget- 2000 €. WOWOW
