Nvidia lets loose GeForce GTX Titan Black
http://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/66181-nvidia-lets-loose-geforce-gtx-titan-black/

When will you know if your workunits works on this model? When someone buys one and tries your workunits on it?

It appears to have a few more usable cores and a faster memory clock than the GTX Titan, but not much difference otherwise.

Same link but clickable... http://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/66181-nvidia-lets-loose-geforce-gtx-titan-black/.

With its 4:1 SP to DP ratio it's a good card for Asteroids@home but not worth the money for here, IMHO.

Save your pennies! If you are intent on buying high-end for GPUGRID, the 780(with or without ti) is a better choice.

The Black edition should drive down prices of the GTXTitan, GTX780Ti, GTX780 and possibly the GTX690.
The GTX770 probably sits to centrally to benefit from the GTX780TiBlackEd or the GTX750Ti but the GTX760 prices might fall too.

Titan Black is a slightly higher clocked GTX780Ti (faster than Titan) with full DP support at 1:3 SP (Tahiti provides far better value in DP) and 6 GB RAM (not beneficial to any BOINc project as far as I know). It's a card for a special niche, but this niche is not ours.

And if I have read and understand correctly, that 6GB can not be used in Windows, 4GB seems the max. Also a 4TB disk is the maximum Windows can handle.

Some games and pro software can exploit the 6GB GDDR, and some CUDA apps like lots of GDDR and DP (Fluid dynamics), its these areas that will drive prices down, despite the Black ed not niching to here. In the grand scale of things, GPUGrid is but a sub-micro niche.

Should be a good 'un for Asteroids.
