NVIDIA Kepler speculation thread

[trinibwoy]

Valve needs to release those steam boxes ASAP so I can get my own grid going at home.

The most heavily overclocked 780's (like the galaxy HOF) are currently going for ~$670 and they're about 9% faster than Titan. I wonder if we'll see those cards fall $150 in price too. If they do then nVidia must think they have something special to ask $699 for the Ti, or maybe just smoking something special.

The GTX 780 HOF edition from Galaxy has been selling in the low $500's (USD) for several weeks now at Amazon.com.

Got money to burn? Ti Black edition.

Interesting of true but that article seems to be more speculation than evidence.

EVGA apparently is working on a special edition GeForce GTX 780 Ti. The card is labeled as Kingpin Edition Graphics Card as their facebook is showing with a teaser photo. k|ngp|n is a well-known professional overclocker. The EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Kingpin Edition Graphics Card would get 6 GB of RAM (stock GTX 780 Ti has 3 GB) and feature like no TDP limit or locked voltage.

Confirmed by EVGA rep at their forums to have 3GB, not 6GB.

That's going to be a very fast card.

Wow, posted in two separate threads with no mention of what your even posting about.

From Videocardz: "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M is rebranded GTX 780M, has 8GB memory."

It was already known that it would be another GK104, but the clock speed is higher, 954 MHz base and 993 MHz boost.

 

[UniversalTruth]

Wondering what one can use 8 GBs of memory for on such a chip anyways Aren't the bottlenecks for higher performance elsewhere the volume of memory?

Anyways... Something much more intriguing:

Nvidia ”GTX 790” Will have 10 GB GDDR5 of Memory, 640Bit Bandwidth and 4992 Cuda Cores – Stated to Release sometime February

looks very fake

looks very fake

at least the configuration is possible

 

[homerdog]

Are there any 6GB GK110 cards out in the wild other than Titan? It seems so obvious, especially for the 780Ti. You could make a case for SLI 780s or 780Tis being able to effectively utilize >3GB in some situations.

 

[Deleted member 13524]

It's been said that nVidia seems really resistant to have 6GB versions of the 780Ti.
They probably want to cut down on the cards' longevity, and they'd rather have people upgrading.

nVidia has a history with being short on memory amount.
Just look at the top Fermi cards, the GTX580 and GTX570. It's a shame having a card with that performance limited to 1.28/1.5GB, where it's clearly a bottleneck for current games at 1080p.

Mostly unrelated, but one of my pet peeves:
1280 MB is 1.25 GB, not 1.28 GB.

There were 3GB 580s and 2.5GB 570s though. EVGA at least had those on sale.

Yes, and they were priced prohibitively. As are the 4GB GTX670/680 Ti or the 3GB GTX 660Ti.
Even today, the 4GB GTX760 is more expensive than a 2GB GTX 770 (full GK104). They charge something like a 80€ premium over some 15€ more of GDDR5.
