GeForce GTX TITAN Black Gets First Listing
NVIDIA's upcoming high-end graphics card, the GeForce GTX TITAN Black, scored its first listing by an online store. Finnish store Multitronic Webshop listed it for €974.90 (including all applicable taxes). The store mentions the pre-tax price at €786.21, which converts to roughly US $1071. These prices confirm the theory that the GTX TITAN Black is being designed to replace the current GTX TITAN from its $999 (pre-tax) price-point. The current GTX TITAN has been cannibalized by the GTX 780 Ti at gaming, and the only two straws it's been clutching onto are 6 GB of memory, and full double-precision floating point GPGPU performance.
The GeForce GTX TITAN Black is a maxing out of the feature-set of the GK110 silicon. It features the full complement of CUDA cores at 2,880 - same as the GTX 780 Ti - but also features full double-precision floating point GPGPU performance, and 6 GB of standard memory amount, which could help in 3DVision Surround, and 4K Ultra HD display setups. Other vital specs of the GPU include 240 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and a 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface. There's no word on its clock speeds, but we expect it to be either on par with, or slightly higher than those of the GTX 780 Ti.

GTX780Ti is 150e more but exactly nice for newest games and next games will not need such strong cards. I mean not all of new games... For 699$ GTX780Ti Classified have great performance to serve until Maxwell show real face... Because I rather buy GTX580 from Fermi than GTX480, comparing that cards is exactly example what mean best of some architecture of GK104 compare to GK110... Because of that I'm not hurry to see Maxwell at all but I will upgrade at the end of cycle... Until then, many months will pass and many nice games will be finished on GTX780Ti....From other side Titan Black Edition are not interesting for me at all from first moment, not only because price... because that's reference GTX780Ti with double memory and for 2014/2015 3GB will be enough for me on 1920x1080... But again NVIDIA no mercy, card is expensive and I would choose non reference GTX780Ti with 3GB over Titan Black with 6GB and for same money (700-750e), for 900-1000$ that's not question at all pointless card and worth max 800e...But I repeat and for much less I would choose non reference Ti.
My graphic upgrade for next 20-24 months should arrive these days.
