First PCB Shots of GeForce GTX TITAN-X Surface
Here are the first PCB shots of NVIDIA's next-gen flagship graphics card, the GeForce GTX TITAN-X. At the heart of this beast is the swanky new 28 nm GM200 silicon, which is rumored to feature 3072 CUDA cores based on the "Maxwell" architecture, a 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, with NVIDIA's latest memory bandwidth management mojo, a staggering 96 ROPs, and 12 GB of memory. The design goal is probably 4K to 5K gaming with a single card, at reasonably high settings. The GM200 silicon appears slightly bigger than the GK110, NVIDIA's previous big chip.
The display I/O of this card looks identical to that of the GTX 980. We're not sure if the DVI connector will make it to the final design. There are no shots of the VRM, although given this architecture's track-record, we don't expect the TITAN-X to have any heavier power requirements than the GTX 780 Ti (6-pin + 8-pin power inputs). NVIDIA is expected to launch the GTX TITAN-X within this quarter. Don't hold off on your GTX 980 purchases just yet, because NVIDIA tends to overprice its "TITAN" branded graphics cards.

The modules are labelled H5GQ4H24MFR-R2C. They are 4Gb IC's (512MB). 512 x 24 = 12288MB = 12GB
H5GQ4H24MFR-R2C 128x32
Edit: Edited for simplicity
tsk tsk...
About the capacity - i do see titan carry 12GB, i do not see Ti SKU carry 12GB
What seperated TITAN from 780 TI was the double memory, and it really played for the TITAN in many cases. Most chances are that the consumer edition (Ti? 1000-series?) will have only 6GB of VRAM
I wouldn't write off the possibility of 8Gbps GDDR5 being used in desktop variants. Samsung are producing it for a reason, and if AMD are using HBM who else is a likely customer?
The Titan-Z might not have found many homes...anywhere, but there is plenty of evidence of Titan/Titan Black being used in non-gaming workloads, especially those coded for CUDA.
Titan-X seems to be cramming a lot into that card, the amount of memory is really high on it making for better rendering in the realms of development. I think though its going to be interesting more than anything what price it comes out at...
