Nvidia’s 2,688 shader GeForce GTX Titan graphics card

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 690 is a hard card to beat.in most benchmarks its currently the best performing graphics card on the market,due to its inclusion of two Kepler GPUs. Nvidia isn’t happy relying on the GTX 690 as its top performing card for too much longer, though, as the next graphics card it is set to launch has just leaked.

The new graphics card carries the name GeForce GTX Titan, will be marketed as the “world’s most powerful graphics card,” and is expected to launch at some point between February 18 and 26. What may surprise you is the fact Nvidia has managed to come close to outperforming the GTX 690, but using just a single Kepler GPU.

The GPU being used is the 28nm GK110, which has been clocked at 875MHz and boasts 2,688 CUDA cores. There’s also 6GB of GDDR5 RAM using a 384-bit bus, and the expected TDP is thought to be in excess of 235W. Two versions of the Titan are expected from ASUS and EVGA, with the ASUS card thought to be clocked even higher at 915MHz. For comparison, the GTX 690 had 4GB RAM and 3,072 shaders.
