Netkas does GTX Titan Speed tests on 10.9 and Win
Netkas did some speed tests on a GTX Titan running OS 10.9 and Windows, and it looks like os x is between 22-26% slower! YOUCH!
The NVIDIA Geforce TITAN does work in a MacPro!
Netkas has posted that yes the incredible $1000 single CPU GeForce Titan does work in the MacPro with the updated NVIDIA drivers in OS X 10.8.4. How is the power draw though? Would it work without external power is the question? It is supposed to draw 250 watts vs the 670’s 170 watts, so I am assuming that is way too much.
NVIDIA Releases the GTX Titan
I read about this amazing new video card in Maximum PC magazine.
This is the CUDA leap editors have been looking for without having to invest in the super expensive QUADRO line. Based on the Kepler GK110 instead of the GK104, this single processor card has twice the transistors and almost double the CUDA of the GTX 680! The GK110 are the chips used in the TESLA K20X GPU.
2688 CUDA cores in 14 SMX unites and 6GB of GDDR5 memory at 6GHz and a clock speed of 836MHz with a boost to 876Mhz and a 384 bit memory interface! Damn! And for $999. It also has GPU boost which will let you overclock it and have it change performance based on heat!
You can check it out over at NVIDIA’s home page as well. And Maximum PC has released Benchmarks as well, which show it not as fast as the dual processor GTX 690, though for a single CPU it is faster (though they are the same price), but it will likely be better for CUDA for NVIDIA which at least on a Mac can’t deal with the 2 processors of the GTX 690, though of course we can only hope to get this running on a Mac anyway!
