This is the new thing isn't it? Same chip, same process, more unlocked and rebranded.

AMD's 5GHz thing, Nvidia 700 series, AMD 8000 series, Intel's 2014 Haswell "refresh" and now this.

Where's the smaller chips??


It's not just a re-brand, it's a Quadro, nVidia does extra Q.A and provides additional Driver support and throws more memory at it.
Plus it has more shaders, Texture mapping units than Titan and retains the same memory bandwidth of 288GB/s.

It's not designed for gaming anyway, it's a workstation card, 99.9% of gamers would have zero need for 12Gb of video memory, so nVidia targets it at another market and charges a premium for the privelage.
Basically it's the same status quo.

Basically nVidia designes an architecture then filters that architecture into different market segments.
I.E. Geforce for consumers, Tesla for servers and Quadro for Workstations all with varying amounts of hardware enabled/disabled.

It's the same chip. Everything else you describe is easy/cheap compared to qualifying a new chip on a new process.

Wow, right after AMD released it's new chip. It's like Nvidia had this just waiting in the wings, lol.

Kinda makes me wonder if PS4/Xbox One should have been delayed till next year. We are at another boon in chip power at reduced electrical power - with better chips, especially since many of the cool games are 2014. But what is done is done.

Technology is going to be fun to watch the next couple of years.

Performance per watt has not improved since 2012. It's actually quite stagnant.

"“With Quadro K6000′s 12 GB of memory, I am now able to load nearly complete vehicle models into RTT Deltagen and have stunning photorealism almost instantly"

see, 12gb not even enough for a whole car, what a weak card

This POS probably drops frames as much as blocks on Tetris. :p

Seriously, though, I can't wait to see how much this costs. It's gonna be nuts.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

Are you buying 4 of these for a gaming PC? O_o

Nah, I was just proving a point that the PC can always be a step ahead of the consoles. :P

A single card uses 225W... 4x225=900W. That's not counting everything else you'd have under your comp's hood.

Insane. I don't want the electric bill that comes with such a monster.


=P

Enough power for 50 years!



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I won't be buying that! xD Anyone knows how expensive is this?
