I remember saying on an old post how the 12GB Quadro K6000 will eventually be geforce variant now that time has come. That card is going for around little under 4K'ish on ebay.
The K6000 was a GK110 chip the same as the 780Ti and Titan Black, this one is dual GPU.
You're pretty much right though about the manufacturing cost, all Tesla and Quadro chips end up with Geforce variants, basically to sell the lower Binned chips.

Oh yeah right, missed that part "dual"...So perhpaps by end of 3rd or 4th quarter a single 12GB titan will cap off the Kepler's run before maxwell
Ka-ching!

My lappy is getting a little tired. I'm soooooooo close to pulling the trigger on a new lappy with an 880M. 8GB of VRAM suweet.

Please be aware that currently Octane doesn't run on Maxwell GPUs. Octane can be compiled for Maxwell, but it doesn't render correctly. We could not solve the problem, but if you compile the code for Fermi and Kepler using the same toolkit, it works fine. -> We don't think it's an issue in Octane but with the toolkit and we are waiting for an update of it to hopefully solve the problem.

Far as I know, the 880M is a Kepler - It's the same chip as the 780M but with extra memory. Anyone know different? i.e. is the 880M in fact a Maxwell?

Yes, you are right, so forget what I said.

Cool. It would have been a downer if I couldn't use Octane on it. 8GB of RAM makes me drool even if it isn't a Maxwell.

I'm sure that Octane 2.0 will run smooth on Maxwell chips.
Unfortunately now there isn't any motherboard to fit 3 Titan Z and have a total of 6 gpus.
I don't see now any upgrade for my 4 Titans rig.
