GeForce GTX Titan LE GPU-Z Information Leaked
A screenshot of what appears to be a slimmed down version of a GK110-based GPU has been leaked.
A screenshot of GPU-Z has been leaked, which shows some specifications that we can only assume to be a less expensive version of the GTX Titan. While the GTX Titan has 14 out of 15 SMX units on the GK110 core enabled, the Titan LE would only have 12 out of 15 enabled. As a result, the card would have 2,304 cores, 40 ROPs, and 192 TMUs.
It also seems that the total onboard memory would be reduced to 5 GB and would run over a 320-bit memory interface. The original GTX Titan had its 6 GB memory run over a 384-bit memory interface. This would mean that the card would pump 240.3 GB/s of bandwidth.
Surprisingly, the clock speeds appear to be identical to those on the GTX Titan, running at 837 base and 876 boost. The memory clock speed would also remain at 6,008 MHz. While these specifications do point to a card weaker than the GTX Titan, it will still be very potent.
Lastly, the validity of the screenshot can also be questioned. The Device ID, BIOS Version and Release Date have been blurred out. Regarding the release date though, it has already been confirmed that a new GK110 GPU is arriving sometime in Q3 2013. Assuming that these specifications are correct, multiple sources indicate expected pricing to be around $700.

It would only be somewhat useful for number crunchers, as a graphics card this would be totally pointless.

I assure you, had Nvidia priced Titan Proper at $500, it would have sold like hot cakes.
The reason not to buy such an expensive card is that it's overpriced.

There's a clear price/performance line up to $250, but cards get more and more overpriced from there up. (I realize this is normal, but it's especially bad this generation, especially since these cards are nearing a year old.) If the GTX Titan had been released at a "reasonable" $599 or so, Nvidia could've taken the opportunity to shake up both vendors' product stacks - and taken a huge lead in sales, even in the light of the Never Settles. 690: $750, 680: $350, 670: $300, 660Ti: $250 - included with the changes they've made to the prices of their lower-range cards, it could've been a landslide with AMD scrambling.
die size and cost to make that die... i forget what titan is suppose to be but i remember the math telling me it was somewhat reasonable.
its sli performance without sli problems.
problem is that crossfire is full of runt frames, therefore you dont physically see any actual improvement
I would argue that Nvidia already has a huge lead in sales, even with the current prices, and that the "Never Settle" bundle is already an indication of AMD scrambling to keep up. Titan is sold out, the Titan LE will sell out, and the GTX 660 through GTX 680 have all outsold their AMD counterparts by 2 to 1, including 2 to 1 gains in March 2013 at the height of the Never Settle campaign. We all want lower prices, but it just doesn't make sense from that perspective. Unfortunately, AMD needs to be even more competitive, if that's even possible, before we see any real change.

I wouldn't give this guy a thumbs down necessarily, I have a gtx 680 and no good games for it yet. I mean come on BF3 at 100 fps...whee..40 fps is fine. Most of the public servers are gone anyhow and there are about 2 good ones left. All the good game releases are set around October if they don't get pushed back. Yes, I preordered ARMA 3, but what else is there to play NOW that needs a 680...nothing except metro 2033 because it's so screwy GPU wise.
Unless you use a framerate limiter, in which case there's basically no problem. People are blowing the FCAT stuff out of proportion.
Anyways $700 is like the absolute MAX that the original Titan should have been priced. This is still too expensive for what it is.
