The idiots will be lined up to buy this "unique" and grossly over-priced GPU card. A fool and his money...

Yes, I am one of those "idiots"! Can't wait.

Been holding out for a worthy successor to my 480SLI setup, Last gen from both AMD and Nvidia were pretty average and I would say midrange rebadged, A true high end card with a large die size(true GTX)is about due! I just hope it's all real, I also hope AMD has a counter card or bring forward next gen release date to reduce prices so we all win.
To me the fools are those who jumped on last gen thinking it was the high end when it's always been 500mm2 die sizes for the high end none of this 294mm2 midrange crappola! But each to their own, If a 650 card or AMD equivalent is all you need then buy it, For those who want top end stuff wether it's for future proofing or just plain bragging rights or benchmarks then buy it! It's not a waste of money to the person who is buying it, Only to YOU!

Where did I mention the money part? I don't give a rats bum about price of the Titan card as long as it falls between the 680 and 690 based on it's performance. I remember paying $850 for a 8800GTS many years ago.
All I want is single card performance that can out do my 480SLI rig by a fair margin, the 680 doesn't cut it as impressive as it is!

What country do you live in? 8800GTS 320MB was $349 and 640MB was $449 on debut. I think you are confusing it with 8800GTX Ultra.

I don't know about his specific case (ozegamer - pronounced "Aussie-gamer" ), but in Australia we can often pay up to 100% more for things - just because companies can get away with it. It has improved in the last 5 years because Aussie shoppers have headed online to buy things direct from the USA (Australians are the largest group of overseas shoppers online in the USA). I often buy hardware and have it shipped to Oz. There is an official Australian Government inquiry under way into the discrepancy in prices and they've already summoned the likes of Apple, Adobe and Microsoft to explain their positions. Things like an iTune track costs AUD$1.99 (US$2.05). In the USA it is US$0.99.

I hope things improve for you guys. I heard the prices of PS3 when it launched were outrageous in Australia. I can't even imagine what modern GPUs and PS4 would cost at launch. The Titan might then be over $1,500 AU for you?

For some things it may be true, but not for computer hardware. In fact if anything its the opposite. Australian prices for hardware is much on par as anywhere. In fact if anything places like MSY are cheaper than anywhere else Ive seen online and theyre local (Australian). Buying hardware overseas is going to end up considerably more expensive than what you could buy for locally.

If its real then its a monster performer. If AMD releases Radeon HD 8970 on time, the performance difference would be just like the old HD4890 vs GTX285 that is like value performance vs sheer performance. Both have its own markets.

Yup, it's 100% fake. Looks like some sources are leaking scores right around X5200 level:

From that die section, I can see 15 independent cores (SMX)+cache, while the 680 GTX has 8 independent cores+cache..
http://hothardware.com/ar...819/small_gtx-680-die.jpg
So this could in theory be 80% faster than 680, but...
Thoughts?

This is a GPU computing processor for the HPC market - geological, climate/weather, financial models.

Early on I thought this was a hoax in part due to the nature of everyone's faith in only one source which wasn't independently confirmed. But also matching the specs of K20X-- the higher core count at a lower base clock might not compensate as much as hyped against a similarly priced GTX690. If Titan isn't GTX780, it does give my original thinking some credence as nVidia wouldn't dare beyond a limited edition, it isn't cost effective by any means. But being limited means expensive and not worth the hype by definition, except to those who have saved up considerably.

I hope the faithful were careful for what they wished for; nVidia followed perceived demand, they aren't promising whatever dreams built up over enthusiasts wanting GK110 just because they make it available. Meaning, if they expected more, it isn't nVidia's fault. But at least EK is ready with waterblocks for the Tesla K20 template that should also work with Titan.
http://www.ekwb.com/news/...uadro-Tesla-water-blocks/

All that said, xbitlabs should be suspicious when fuzzy photos have the video ports concealed like that, as "Titan" and K20X would have the same PCB and layout. The photo could still be a K20X but presented as a Titan. Also, the performance leaks have already been proven fake (either overclocked 690 or a pair of 680's), and even ArabPCWorld ran that article as well.
http://www.arabpcworld.com/?p=25899

But ArabPCWorld also claimed to have a picture of a GK110 card when it was thought to be GTX780 with no markings way back in November 2012, but of course it wasn't a popular rumor so people tend to not believe. I wish it wasn't like that with more skepticism, but the nature of rumors do seem spoonfeed.

The real question is will it run at the same clock as other GK110 parts or will it run at similar clock to the 680 or higher? If it runs at the same clock as the Tesla parts then it's performance is only about 10% faster then the 680 as while it has a massive increase in cores there clocked about 30% slower. If it has the 2668 cores & runs at 1000mhz+ then it's a real monster.

You may be right, wccftech was able to unearth another screenshot of an accidental publish listing of the Asus Titan:

Those specs do not make any sense. The entire full blown 15 SMX GK110 chip only has 6 memory controllers, each providing 64-bit memory width, for a total of 384-bit. The 512-bit is a dead giveaway those specs are 99% BS. They also happen to exactly match GPU clocks and memory bus of the GTX690 (2x256 bit = 512 bit).

http://cdn.wccftech.com/w...uploads/2013/01/GK110.jpg

K20X Telsa has 14 SMX clusters and 732mhz GPU clocks and already a TDP of 235W. How can they raise GPU clocks from 732mhz to 1019mhz and TDP only goes up to 250W? It's not possible unless the Titan is a higher clocked 12-13 SMX part or NV will be selling a card with GTX480's power consumption.

This picture is fake, so as all info on so called "Titan". Picture shown is GTX 285 and xbit please stop spreading bullshit.
