Report: GeForce Titan Boost Frequency Possibly 1019 MHz
Another listing has showed up with Nvidia's upcoming GeForce Titan, this time showing some specifications that are admirably higher than previous rumors have shown.
There's been no shortage of rumors over Nvidia's upcoming GeForce GTX Titan and we can't help but be impressed by the latest reports that the Titan will deliver truly jaw-dropping performance at an equally staggering price.
According to an Australian online retailer, as reported by WCCF, the GTX Titan will feature 6 GB of DDR5 memory, a 512 bit memory interface (rather than 384 bit), a base clock of 915 MHz (instead of 732 MHz) and a boost clock of 1019 MHz.
It therefore seems that the GK110 chip in the consumer Titan card might actually be quite different from the GK110 chips in Nvidia's professional Tesla K20 and K20X cards.
With the increased performance has unfortunately come a dramatically increased price tag. The already incredible retail price of $899 is now is listed at a frankly insane $1599. While it is unrealistic to expect the GTX Titan to arrive with a sub-$1000 price point, the estimate of $1599 seems a bit too far-fetched.

hero1 If they do sell for that price then only very few idiots would buy it. I could make a nice rig with that money and be satisfied with a 7970 or GTX 680. I hope that all of this is speculation and nothing is set in stone. If they bring it out and make it 800 then some of us will consider it but above that, heck no!Reply -
A little too much from us to pay $1599 on a graphics card? It better outperform a Tri sli GTX 680 plus be more efficient and can be quad sliReply

By the time it gets released you'd probably would be able to buy GTX 690/Devil 13 HD 7990 for a decent price, instead of HD 7970/GTX 680. -
ipwn3r456 Lol at first I thought the boost clock is 1019 MHz from the base clock of 732 MHz XD. And really $1.6k? This is one of the most expensive cards ever released for Geforce.Reply -
hammer256 6 GB GDDR5 on 512 bit interface makes no sense at all. I would expect either 4 GB or 8 GB, not 6. Stupid rumors....Reply -

Good catch! I think that alone is enough to debunk this particular rumor... -
If it beats the 690 easily its still not worth $1600 which I could afford but refuse to buy at that price. If I can snag one at $900 I will bite but not much more than that. Its going to be a long wait until the 700 series from Nvidia after this card hits.Reply
