NVIDIA Unveils the GeForce GTX TITAN-X
NVIDIA surprised everyone at its GDC 2015 event, by unveiling its flagship graphics card based on the "Maxwell" architecture, the GeForce GTX TITAN-X. Although the unveiling was no formal product launch, and it didn't come with a disclosure of specs, but a look at the card itself, and a claim by no less than NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, that the card will be faster than the current-gen dual-GPU GTX TITAN-Z, there are some highly plausible rumors about its specs doing the rounds.
The GTX TITAN-X is a single-GPU graphics card, expected to be based on the company's GM200 silicon. This chip is rumored to feature 3,072 CUDA cores based on the "Maxwell" architecture, and a 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 12 GB of memory. NVIDIA is likely taking advantage of new 8 Gb GDDR5 chips. Even otherwise, achieving 12 GB using 4 Gb chips isn't impossible. The card itself looks nearly identical to the GTX TITAN Black, with its nickel alloy cooler shroud, with two differences - the "TITAN" marking towards the front of the card glows white, while the fan is decked with green lights, in addition to green glowing "GeForce GTX" logo on the top. You get to control the lighting via GeForce Experience. NVIDIA plans to run more demos of the card throughout the week.

Though that cooler, is beyond awesome and I would love to see some LED's in the fan like the picture showed (Though that may have been just for the picture) as that would be a really cool look if they did add it.
For gaming - Nil.
For content creation/ rendering it would make a much cheaper alternative to Nvidia's own K6000 (12GB) or AMD's W9100 (16GB) especially if workload was centred around 4K (or higher) resolution. Many applications scale with memory capacity as well as architecture.
There is no justice in this world. :(
While Nvidia try to make money (and succeed) like all shareholder businesses do, it seems to cause you such distress.
If you want justice, perhaps you could try a political forum, or a legal one.
Arguably, a compute or HPC focussed card from Nvidia goes a long way in WCG collaborative efforts at helping science. Other HPC uses on huge scales are for ecological and medical purposes.
If you want 'hidden' evil, try arms manufacturers, gun lobbies, corrupt pharmaceuticals etc. Don't cry your wee eyes out over a graphics card company.
It would be sad to see so many people feel bad about their purchace again after the 980Ti/1080/etc gets announced, like many titan owners felt when the 780 got announced.
Amd have 3xx series coming very soon too.... its a shame you cant see how you sound like a moron making comments like that. Its not funny or correct, just petty.....
I guess there will be more price friendly 6GB version probably called GTX990 and then a cut-down version with 2560SP, 320bit memory GTX980 Ti.

This is it, this is the gaming card, since this will be the first titan that will have the double precision shaders gimped, as you dont need that for gaming.
Since they are on 28 nm still they had to drop something, and they dropped the double precision shaders. This is a purely gaming card.
On a lowermanufacturing proces there would be place to include the DP shaders on the GM200 architecture.
But this one is going to be a pure gmaing card.
12gb, future proof, and im going to get 2 of them, regardless the price.
To bad my Watercooling-GPU-Loop was thought with double 295x2 in mind (meaning ready to shill 1000W worth of GPUs with relative ease), and it would be overkill for two titanXs.
THe Loop includes
140.3 radiator two of them cooled by 6 Noctuas 1400 industrial 3000 rpm and 3 250CFM delta fans,
30% from a 140.2 radiator, (similar cooling), and 70% from a 140.1 radiator, i wonder how the temperatures will be in full tilt, probabably no more than 25 celsius.
and likely yes 28nm
also
The new GM200 chip, based on Nvidia's latest Maxwell graphics microarchitecture, is estimated to provide up to 3,072 CUDA cores (24 SMs) paired with 12GB of GDDR5 memory across a 384-bit interface. Said chip could form the basis of the much-discussed GTX Titan X graphics card, as well as the enterprise-grade Quadro M6000.... obvious? maybe
well the price will be ... nvidia'esque (around 1300ish $ )
fully fledged Maxwell GM200 core? sooooo where is the GTX 980 Ti???? ... ahah
what they have : efficiency and high price ... sad... at last for me (personal opinion ofc) perfwise oh well yep the 980 is a good card (but the price) 970? (nope not starting on it) 960? (what ... is that even an option?)
i want to see what nvidia will come next ... will they get rid of the "customer are just blind cow to be milked" image they give me now ... or will they change (unlikely )40° is toasty ... ? oh? with a MO-RA3 and 2 HTF4 well i get 42° on my fullcover 290 (at 290x frequencies) but i only use a 240X60 (wait ... the number of rad and fan really influence terminal temperature equilibrium? )
Each card draws around 400/450W overclocked, I'm still surprised they are alive after two years.
