Nvidia’s worsting circuit GM200 “Titan II” with 12 GB of GDDR5 memory in the picture

The performance models in the Geforce GTX 900 series are not the final destination for the Maxwell architecture. On the contrary, Nvidia is working on the sequel to the previous generation’s worsting circuit GK110, which is known from Geforce GTX Titan, among other things. The name to remember is the Nvidia GM200.

On the Chinese forum Baidu, pictures are now being spread of what is, by all accounts, an early test copy of a graphics card with the worst-case circuit Nvidia GM200. The new graphics processor is surrounded by no less than 24 memory capsules from SK Hynix, which provides a total of 12 GB of video memory in up to 7.0 GHz GDDR5.

The graphics card in the picture may well be the same model that has already been looked at in the database for the tool GPU-Z and will later be transformed into the Quadro M6000. Provided that these data are correct, this means that the GM200 contains as many as 3,072 calculation units – 50 percent more than the GM204 in the Geforce GTX 980.

If Nvidia’s habit is true, however, the GM200 will not be reserved for enterprise products such as Quadro and Tesla, but will also be used in the sequel to the Geforce GTX Titan, which is expected to arrive later in 2015.
