Nvidia Dual GPU card coming soon?

I hope they price it accordingly this time, not charging extra like the Flop-a-majig Titan Z. I still can't find any logical justification for their price of that card.
 
This is to compete against the Fury X2 I'm guessing, Probably going to cost a good chunk more than the Fury X2 if Nvidia's pricing is anything to go by ^_^
 
I don't understand why they are creating a dual gpu card from gpu's which seem to have limitations for the next change in gaming tech (DX12) Why dont they just wait until their architecture changes to one which works properly?

Pretty much just to be able to say "We have the fastest graphics card on the planet" ;)
 
A dual GM200 card will be total overpriced garbage with very weak performance compared to using 2 single cards.

It won't be all bad news though the asking price will make the TitanXs look like bargain basement deals.

As to a dual Fiji card unless it has a decent AIO cooler it will be best to leave alone as well.
 
Come on it's Nvidia it's going to be over priced....Remember the Titan Z hahahaha

This card will be another $2k card lol

I remember the Titan Z

It was totally useless for gamers due to needing to run at low clocks because of temps.

It only had one redeeming feature, the compute side of the card which probably accounted for most of it's sales.

Unfortunately the GM200 Maxwell chips don't do compute very well so that option is already out the window.:D

I don't mind paying for TitanXs as for 2160p in SLI they are proper gaming cards and you do get to use most of the 12gb of VRAM. What I do find laughable (based on the old Titan Z) is paying a whole load more money for something that will run a lot worse than a pair of TitanXs.

Having had a few dual GPU cards myself they all lack 1 major thing, Cooling.

Take AMD's last dual GPU offering, The 295X2 is a brilliant card but the cooling let it down as I noticed a lot of thermal throttling, Overclocking was actually pretty good and I got 1100 on the core and 6600 on the memory 24/7 stable which for any 290X is pretty damn good but it was always the thermal throttling that let it down.

If this dual GPU has good thermals i.e a really good AIO as that's what it realistically needs due to a stock 980 Ti getting to 86'c under load then the power delivery needs to be good as well or at least on par with a reference version of it's single GPU counterpart.
 
It'll be dual 980Ti at the very best IMO. They won't do another dual Titan as they couldn't get away with the pricing last time and they don't want to risk being shown up by AMD.

That said, they didn't really care about the Titan Z so why would they suddenly care?
 
Oh look, a new expensive toy for people that dont know that 2 single gpu's is better then a dual gpu card :P

Honestly though, as awesome as those cards are in engineering terms, i dont see them as being needed at all, its just showboating.

Well the 295X2 was exactly the same performance as 2 x single 290X's in Crossfire and overclocked just as well as a 290X lightning overclocked, 1100 on the core and 6600 on the memory so it all depends if they do a decent job on power delivery and cooling :)

Well there's the bonus of running SLI/CFX in an ITX rig or quad SLI/CFX on an µATX motherboard, so they're great for small power houses, but then heat does usually become a bit of an issue.

It is just showboating, but that is needed. Just the amount of attention it will get alone it's worth the investment to do it. Making a rounded product and selling it for a profit is missing the point. Although AMD did it by accident so maybe nVidia should try harder next time with a GTX990Ti. Titan has got to remain retarded as even the single GPU cards are insane.

1100 is an amazing achievement from a 295X2 but I would expect a lot higher from a Lightning. I have a reference card that is happy to do 1210 without raging the volts, maybe it's a bit special though I'd love to have the chip transplanted onto a Lightning PCB :D

I never had luck with 290X's when it came to the clocks.

My 290X Matrix Platinum would only clock to around 1050 on the core and I couldn't even touch the memory, The 290X Lightning I briefly had would clock no further than 1120 and 6400 on the memory.

I've only ever won the silicon lottery twice, Once with a 780 Ti reference that would do 1310MHZ stable and then now with my Fury X which does 1150/550 on stock volts :)
 
AMD had a prototype of this GPU at E3 this year for their project Quantum.

I hope that they don't do something stupid and put 2 separate 120mm rads on it.
A single 240 will do nicely please AMD or just putting a water block on it would be better.

If AMD bring this to the market it will be very underpowered !!!

A single Fury X uses 2 x 8 pin power connectors.:D
