holy smokes: 12GB of vRAM!!! now that's a beast!!! =)
Hope it's going to be at least 8TFlops! (in a range of Z)
..but for less than 3000$.. - my bold Guess - 2K$ =DDD
(but I'm really worrying nVidia lifting prices..)
not long to wait =) GTC is just around the corner!

P.S. madness with those engines release for free!!!

12GB - that's what I've been expecting. That's great.
My personal bet: it will cost no more than 1.5k and be 15-20% faster than Titan Black :)

Two weeks and we'll see ;)

logical guess, Sebastian, but after TitanZ prices..I expect some (read: unpleasant) "surprises" from nVidia =DDD though I'd like to see this card for 1-1.5k (as dual GPU TitanZs were sold at 1.5K lately)..

12GB is good, but only if it is a single GPU (or did it say it was and I didn't read it properly) :)

It is a single gpu card.

I hope they learned from the Titan Z pricing ballon burst. The Titan X is borrowing the naming format from the Z, but is really a natural progression of the Titan Black. So the prices should reflect that: $1,000 - $1,300.

Within about a week and a half from today, we should get confirmation of details about Nvidia’s latest top end GTX GPU - The Titan X. All of the pics that I’ve seen of it depict it as having the same size and form factor as the Titan and Titan Black - PCIe double wide. According to Anandtech [ http://www.anandtech.com/show/9049/nvid ... tx-titan-x ], it’ll have 96 ROPS, a 384-bit memory bus, 12G of Vram, 8 billion transistors, be based on the Maxwell GM200 architecture with one GPU processor, possibly be born from the TSMC 28nm manufacturing process, and launched at a very high price. Extremetech [ http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/2004 ... ll-details ] adds that it’ll have either 192 or 256 (I believe that 256 is more likely) texture mapping units (TMUs), a core count of 3,072 and maybe 24 SMM blocks. Hexus. net [ http://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/797 ... -surfaces/ ] adds that the price will likely be about $1,349 (for the base air-cooled version). Tomshardware [ http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia ... 28694.html ] adds that it’ll have a green LED-lit “GeForce” label on it’s side. Legitreviews [ http://www.legitreviews.com/hands-nvidi ... ard_159519 ] adds that it’s a PCIe double wide card, appears to support 3- and 4-way SLI (having two SLI interconnects), has one 6-pin and has one 8-pin power connectors, has three DisplayPorts, one HDMI and one DVI connector and will be dark gray or black with a black fan shroud. Guru3d [ http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/nvidia ... ealed.html ] adds that it’ll have 6 GPCs, a core clock of ~988 MHz, a memory clock of 1653/1753 MHz, a memory bandwidth of 317.4 GB/s and a single precision floating performance of 6.07/7.0 TFLOPS. See, also - http://videocardz.com/54960/nvidia-gefo ... ew-details .

If all of this pans out as indicated above, I have no regrets for last fall having purchased 6 Titan Z Hydro’s for about $150 to 250 additional for each one. The Titan Z (air cooled) has, among other things:
GTX TITAN Z GPU Engine Specs:
5760
CUDA Cores


705
Base Clock (MHz)


876
Boost Clock (MHz)


338
Texture Fill Rate (GigaTexels/sec)


GTX TITAN Z Memory Specs:
7.0 Gbps
Memory Clock


12 GB
Standard Memory Config


GDDR5
Memory Interface


768-bit (384-bit per GPU)
Memory Interface Width


672
Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec)

[ http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop ... ifications ] . Moreover, the air-cooled Titan Z has:

“… the full 15 Streaming clusters, thus 2880 Shader Processing Units per GPU, enabled. That's 240 TMUs and 48 ROPs on a 384-bit memory interface of fast 6GB GDDR5 allocated per GPU. So you can double that up. But in a nutshell the card uses two 45 mm × 45 mm 2397-pin S-FCBGA GK110b GPUs with 2880 shader/stream/CUDA processors -- thus 5760 Shader processors. This will give the GeForce Titan Z a cool 8 TeraFLOPS of performance.” [ http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/nv ... iew,1.html ] Moreover, the software that motivated and continue to motivate my main use of GPUs is Octane Render. The Maxwell GPUs for whatever reason have not yet shined more brightly than the Keplers. As of now, a GTX 980 performs in Octane Render most closely to the reference design (standard) GTX 780. I do wish, however, that my Titan Zs had 3xDisplayPorts as well as 12G Vram for each of their two GPU processors.
Because I have 180+ GPU processers in 16 tweaked/multiOS systems - Character limit prevents detailed stats.

..lot of those details are still like "smoke on the water" =)

what we know for sure that:

* it's maxwell based,
* has 12GB of VRAM,
* 6+8pin power connectors..

& that's it =) let's wait for GTC!

I'd like to operate that DVI conector..
& mod this into single sloter! =) with waterblock..

I totally agree with you, Tutor. 12GB is great, but with 'out of core' features and Octane 19mln poly limit I'd rather count on profound speedup (100%) in Titan X compared to Titan, with 200-250W power draw. But to achieve such performance X should have 5k cuda cores on a full size chip. Will it have - I doubt.

We'll wait and see.
