TPU picked up a rumor from Swedish tech site SweClockers that we might see a second GK110-based GeForce GTX card this summer. The new part will reportedly have similar specifications to the Quadro K6000, with 2496 CUDA cores, 208 texture memory units, 40 ROPs a 320-bit memory bus, and 5GB GDDR5 memory. If the rumor is true, you can expect the card sometime between July and August.
Similar in specifications to the fabled Quadro K6000, the new SKU could feature 13 out of 15 streaming multiprocessors on the GK110 silicon, working out to 2,496 CUDA cores, 208 texture memory units, a 320-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface holding 5 GB of memory, and 40 ROPs. Given that there's a deep ravine between the ~$450 GeForce GTX 680 and ~$1000 GTX Titan, NVIDIA could pick a price-point in the middle.
