Hi! I have seen rumors of a new "dual" graphics card with 4992 cores (2496x2) and 10gb ddr5.

I hope that someone confirm that! 4 of those beasts would explode my pc :lol: :lol:

That's a nice dream =) Curious how these website come up with rumors like that?

personaly, I don't believe it's going to happen..that makes no sense, at all. I bet we get at most 6GB card (at speeds of 780Ti) & Maybe Dual card at the same amount (split on two GPUs inside)..

..but let's wait & see, maybe nVidia will make something flashy & make us all very happy =DDD..

I think that those 10gb are really 5gb each "core" so we really have 5gb for Octane.
Anyway it would be fantastic.

So the above website amended their 10gb to 6gb - 2x3gb: which is in line with expectations to be honest.

That will become (by a long margin I'll bet) the fastest single card solution - taking first place from the GTX690 - for standard clocked cards.

So the question is..

get the 790 with 3gb = FAST!!

get the black titan 6gb = MEMORY!


mmm how many times do we need 6gb?

If the 790 is twice as quick; surely they will be charging 2x780ti price: which is staggering just to think about...

I'll take a 690 w/ 2gb thanks :D

Titan black edition....double precision...
what means?
Octane and games don't use double precision computation...I guess.
