A huge GPU will be difficult to find, and even harder to beat

Today Nvidia pulls the veil on the basis GK110

GeForce GTX

Titan one single GPU card should easily win the title in the GPU Baddest Ass world where the marks are released this Thursday, February 21. Titan is the "Big Kepler" Nvidia GPU, and twice more transistors and nearly double CUDA Cores mid-range GK104 chip is in its flagship GeForce GTX 680 GPU. Although operating at a lower clock speed by adjusting the values ??that have yet to provide performance improvement on the ability and the GTX 680.

Here is the Titan, GK110 Kepler GPU Big've everyone expected.

The GK110 has been in use for over a year in the HPC world, especially in K20X Titan on Tesla GPUs used by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory supercomputer, which is currently the fastest computer the world great. Although benchmarks for Titan have not yet been published, Nvidia claims that should be side by side with the 690 dual-GPU GeForce GTX, which is currently the fastest single-GPU card in existence. In other words, the Titan should be nearly as fast dual GTX 680 in SLI, but from a single GPU. Oh, and guess what? In fact, it is quieter than both, even under load (yes, I've heard).

So Let

specifications. The Titan has a huge GTX CUDA cores SMX 14 units in 2688, 6 GB of GDDR5 memory running at 6 GHz clock frequency of 836MHZ core clock 876MHz with 7.1 billion transistors, a 250W TDP, one 384-bit memory interface, and a cooling fan unit unique. Power is supplied by a pin eight years and six pin connector, and the price is a surprising $ 999

as the GTX 690. The card is 10.5 "long and is wrapped in a layer of aluminum, unlike the shell of the magnesium alloy used for the GTX 690, the Nvidia card and not allow a change by the manufacturer of complement plates, so that all the Titans like the one shown here.

Titan sports an aluminum housing and polycarbonate window to show your refrigerator.

Perhaps even more impressive than the original characteristics of the card is how quiet it is with the Nvidia called GPU Boost 2.0

. When we sat down to see the card in an unknown location in San Francisco, we were shocked to discover that not only Titan works only 3 feet from where we sat and made no noise at all but another machine just a few meters of us, right running Battlefield 3 with three cards in SLI, and was as quiet as a whisper. The secret is not only how Nvidia has designed a unique device cooling fan, however, that obviously plays a very important role, but rather in how the software is designed to work with the card the card. In short, you can now control the maximum temperature that you want the access card, and strangle himself to remain at this temperature through a combination of fan speed, voltage and clock speed. This allows you to modify the card to run the way you want - with an overclocked speed noisy fans actions, and relatively quiet, or underclocked and totally silent. You can set these variables in real time as the software provided by the additional card manufacturers Asus, EVGA chances and even if the precedent set by the GTX 690 is followed.

Nvidia uses a new thermal grease which is twice as efficient in conducting heat used in the GTX 680.

Aside from the voltage and temperature controls clock speed (

yes, you can on-board voltage

), a new feature that is exclusive to Titan you can overclock the refresh rate of the screen when running Vsync, so in theory could reach 80fps, even using a panel of 60 Hz, and the same with 120Hz panels too. NVIDIA told us simply "lies" in the panel and told him to run at a higher speed than it is supposed to, with the proviso that all support units, but the only way to know is to try .
