That was what I was wondering. Does the 2.0 mean twice as cool, or twice as expensive?

I think the y-graph represents the increments of what "factor of performance" is being done with the Titan versus the 690.  This is based on an average of what the 690 did in these PC Game titles, but it could vary in real life applications.  It could deviate alittle from the average.
 
So lets think theoretically.  If in BF3, the 690 did an average fps of 47 FPS, 1080 x3 with 4x MSAA, Post Processing, 3.3ghz cpu frequency.  This only applys to surround.  One titan does actually less than a 690, from what this graph is telling us.  The red bar is below the 690's black bar.  It's not by much.  You can interpret it by a factor of 0.1 less (0.5 - 0.1 = 0.4).  So the 690 actually does a little bit better with 2 gpus, than a single Titan in BF3, but the difference isn't by much.  So if this is true, 1 single Titan probably performs alittle under this 47 FPS.  It could be higher, but the Titan is behind by a factor of 0.1, from what this graph is telling us.
 
Another thing to consider is this.  The 690 is a dual gpu card.  So we can conclude that half of 0.5 factor is equal to 1 gpu.  In other words, 0.5(0.5) = 0.25.  It's a factor performance of 0.25 to 1 gpu on the 690.  One gpu on the 690 only does a performance factor of 0.25 versus the Titan's 0.4.  So in conclusion, the single Titan Gpu does almost twice the work a single gpu does on a 690.  That's a significant increase.  An increase a little under 100% of what a single gpu on a 690 can do.  Another interpretation is this:  If a 690 has a performance of 47 fps, one could argue that 1 gpu is only doing 23, 24 fps (47 x 0.5).  If a Titan is almost doing twice a single gpu on a 690, the Titan would have an FPS of roughly 43, 45 fps...
 
This is part of the point, if you read behind the razzle dazzle and the lines of this graph.  Just looking at the BF3 section of the graph.  The graph indicates that the 3-way SLI out-performs 2 690s, but it's indicating, which is more important than the point about it's performance, that a single gpu on a Titan is almost doing the work of a single 690.  In my own conclusion, I would think that its unpractical to purchase a 690 when a Titan can almost does the same job, not taking into account any issues with a budget to purchase the cards.
 
3-way SLI suffers from less deminishing returns on the fps performance with a Titan almost across all titles.  1 Titan does 0.4, 2way SLI Titans could possibly do 0.75, and 3-way SLI Titan's can possibly do 1.1, under 1.2.  I'm just looking at BF3.  One would think if 3-way SLI, there was no deminishing returns on FPS performance, there would be a 0.4 x 3 way SLI = 1.2 performance factor-3way SLI.  I guess one could argue that their will be less deminishing returns, fps-wise.  3-way SLI gpus won't scale 100%, but it won't scale down significantly as 3 680s in SLI.  I guess this could be another perk for Nvidia's Titan.  The deminishing returns on the Titan is less in 3-way SLI.
 
The red bar indicates the peak fps performance of 1 Titan.  Between red and blue, it's 2x Titans in SLI.  Blue bar and the peak, it is 3way SLI Titans.  Same goes for the 690.  Between 0 to the black bar, it's one 690.  From the black bar to the peak, it's 2 690s in SLI.  Look at the legends on the upper right hand corner.  Dark Green = GTX 690 "Quad-SLI."  Light Green = GTX Titan "3-way SLI."
 
Now for the Crysis 3, Max Payne 3, Far Cry 3, this is were the bigger message gets a little hard to swallow, and this is Nvidia's top point about this graph.  This is their message to AMD.  Let's still assume theoretically, that this 0.5 mark is 47 FPS with 3 1920 x 1080, 4xMSAA, 3.3ghz processor core frequency.  So in this graph, looking only at Crysis 3, Nvidia is stating that one Titan can do roughly 0.1 more than the 690 with just one gpu.  So 47 fps + 0.1(47 fps) = 51.7 fps, or 52 fps.  That's just with a single Titan Graphic Card.  The Titan does the same performance with Far Cry 3 and Max Payne 3.  3-way SLI Titan will do significantly more better, and it scales better, as far as FPS performance.  3-way SLI Titans will have an average fps of 47.0 fps x 3-way SLI Titans = 141 FPS.  141 FPS average = the 1.8 performance factor rating.
 
This is the key message that Nvidia is sending to AMD.  It's basically saying that PC games optimized for AMD cards, will have extreme competition with Nvidia's new GTX Titan.  Personally, I think this is Nvidia's "more potent," counter-punch to AMD message about their Game Bundle, and the fact that Crysis 3 is siding with AMD.  Unless Crytek sent Nvidia a copy of Crysis 3 in advance to display this graph, I will conclude that the Crysis 3 benchmark of this graph is all "smoke and mirrors."  Performance of GTX Titan versus on Crysis 3 could be lower, but more than likely, it will be a lot higher.
 
In theory, you can theorycraft the numbers between AMD 7000 series gpus versus the Titan.  Take the average fps of all benches from 3rd party websites that do benches on the 7970x2 or 7970 ghz edition.  Get them from Far Cry 3 (an AMD optimized game) and Max Payne 3.  Find out what the average is, and obtain the averages for 690 in this same PC Game titles.  From this graph you know that the 690 is pulling a performance factor of 0.5, and the Titan is 0.6.  So get the fps of the 690, compare the two.
 
Personally, I wouldn't believe this graph.  I think it's to bias, and full of hype.  It's Nvidia's way of kicking AMD in the balls, or an attempt to do just that.

So when should I let the auto refreshing commence?

New Features such as GPU Boost 2.0 lets users manually overvolt and overclock their GPU without any restrictions hence achieving better clock speeds through Boost tech while users would be delighted with the new 80 Hz Vsync technology that allows better framrates in the latest gaming titles.

I'M SOLD IF THIS IS TRUE! Must find money from somewhere. Wonder how many pennys I have in the center console of my car

Except for the fact that the design of the card is set in stone, so good luck using more than 300W per card (75W PCIe + 75W 6-pin + 150W 8-pin). However, it does look like there is room for one more 8-pin, so perhaps a "Classified" version is possible (for $1500...).

Bring it on, I want the ultra version.

By time the classified titan is released the 780 will be out. 

Titan is reference design only, no special edition. Just like GTX 690. No stickers even, just NVIDIA logos etc. What do you guys think happened to the EVGA GTX 680 2Win or the ASUS MARS III?
 
Titan will be no different than 690 in that regard.
 
Disclaimer: This is all based on what I've heard/read on various forums/sites.

Just wondering how many 690's were produced?

780 being out wouldn't matter, according to all the rumors on the 780 I have read, it is going to be a gk114 chip, aka 680 respin. Unless its maxwell in which case, that is still a long while off.

correction
if I read this right
 
75 watts from slot only
http://www.pcisig.com/dev...baa0856011c665ac770768
 
150 from on 8 pin rail
and 75 from 6 pin
75(slots)+75(rail)+150(rail) = meets 2 slots wide standard PCI sig 3.0 standards


however they can exceed these standards
 
max is (75 W + 3×150 W)

They can, but this card only has a 6-phase and 2-phase VRM for GPU and memory respectively. That is going to limit how much juice this card can suck. I'm not saying the card is bad. I'm just saying, restrictions are restrictions; and nVidia, Intel, and maybe AMD are moving to a more controlled future. It ensures high quality, but also stagnates innovation from 3rd party manufacturers.
 
I can't really say if it is worth it or not. Since I'm not an OC enthusiast like some (with liquid nitrogen and the such), I actually enjoy the higher quality products.

Although in all seriousness, a card like this doesn't need to be overclocked. There is no such thing as a Crysis game these days.

Ok, now it's the 19th.... where is this card?  Is this the best hoax ever?  AHHHH!

18th was partial release from NDA
19th comes Benchmarks
21st is official paper launch
 

Well the product life cycle of video cards is short. Every 9-12 months a new cards comes out
 
Thanks,

ya know, on another note, I wanna see what kingpin can do with 4 of these.
