Titan GK110

[FTLN]

GK110 is failed K20 Teslas. Ones that don't make the purist grade that they need to make (and believe me, it's veeeery pure).

At £3000 or whatever it costs it needs to be.

Desktop GPUs (as we know /looks at AMD) use far less reliable memory and ICs. The reason is when your desktop card crashes AMD and Nvidia don't care. If a workstation or server crashes it's potentially millions of pounds/dollars down the swanny.

I mean can you imagine Nvidia trying to explain a BSOD to Pixar studios? :lol:

I think its actually the drivers that make the K20s so expensive, and the dedicated support that come with them.

From memory (pardon the pun) the Teslas and so on use ECC memory. Basically if there's a crash they can recover instead of just BSODing.

That sort of memory at those sorts of speeds doesn't come cheap.

But yeah I heard that they have a dedicated team working around the clock for support etc.

k20s use gk110. i guess what you mean is the gk110 used in the titan will be a gk110 that wasn't good enough for a k20.

I think they're going to have a hard time selling these with AMD's 7970 beating the 680 due to the latest drivers and costing £100 less...
