New Nvidia Top of the line card - Titan

I may be late to the party, but this thing looks like a beast, able to give the 690 a run for the money.

Do you think this will make it into a mobile version?

I read about this on engadget yesterday too. Sheesh! It's already being installed in custom desktops (can you imagine a 3-way SLI with this?), but no word on pricing or a mobile counterpart.

 

From what I understand, it is based on the architecture used in the professional graphics chips. Sinc ethey are mobile versions of those, it stands to reason they could produce it. What i found most interesting is how the card prevents itself from overheating by varying its own voltage. I imagine that kind of tech would prove useful to OCers

 

This card is now retailing or will be soon for $1000. 690 performance with a single gpu. Sign me up! Apparently this thing will even out perform nvidias 700 line.

 

Umm, most reviews show that that it's significantly slower than a 690. Unless you're talking about GPGPU performance, in which case *drool*.

 

... So it has a glorified throttling scheme? One that CPUs have had for aeons. It looks built for high resolution gaming.
The 7970's hardware seems to be in a similar league but I can't help but feel that amd's software incompetence is holding it back.
I dunno there might be a mobile version as there is a gap in fp64 performance mobile gpus within nvidia's line up.

 

I am still debating on getting one. I just don't know if it is justified for its price. As for a mobile version I doubt it. The chip is 7.1 billion transistors and the die is huge. It is very improbable it is even worth for nVidia to make it work with a TDP that laptops can handle. Even if it did, it will be severely nerfed and downclocked (like 10/12 SMX active vs. 14 and a 750 MHz Core) on top that it will go for 1.5-2K USD per MXM 3.0b card.

Also, there are NO mobile versions of GK110. GK110 is only been used for Tesla K20 and K20X (which are DESKTOP GPGPU cards). There are server-modified ones used for the Titan Supercomputer but they are NOT MXM 3.0b and they use a TDP way beyond the limits of current laptops. Just note that Titan right now uses 250W TDP, 10W less than the desktop GTX 580 (which its design was never used in any mobile GPU). On the other hand, GTX 680MX uses only 100 but it is heavily downclocked and has a way more restrictive boosting than its desktop variant (the GTX 670 Reference which has a TDP of 141W).
