The reason these cards are going to be limited release is probably because they can throw the gk110 chips in a tesla card and sell it for $3000+

Aggressor Prime

More exact details are popping out:



Core Clock of 837MHz.
Boost Clock of 875MHz.
SP FLOPS = 4.5TFLOPS.
DP FLOPS = 1.3TFLOPS.

If that double precision performance really isn't limited, then nVidia is basically handing out overclocked Tesla K20X cards.

And do you really think Nvidia would be dumb enough to do that when they can charge $3,000+ for a Tesla
They would have to sell at at least 3 to make up for the lose of one Tesla

Some may want to imply nVidia is deliberately selling them at a loss, I just can't figure out why; it isn't LEAN at all.  Not surprisingly, most enthusiasts avoid business perspective, they can't imagine what could be beneficial to nVidia even at our expense.  If GK110 yields got better, it would make sense they continue to sell them as Teslas since AMD isn't really threatening their GTX600's on the consumer graphics front.  Their earnings report pretty much proves that.

Furthermore, for me it makes more sense to think that Titan's GK110's didn't meet nVidia's quality mark for Tesla K20X and have been collecting since last year when Tesla K20/K20X debuted-- up until nVidia decided to feed them to us now.  But if there were leakage or voltage issues, I do wonder if these have much overclocking headroom or even last anywhere near as long as Tesla K20X's warranty would honor-- which could be the biggest "gotcha" in all this.

My point is maybe they arent selling as much. I would imagine the market for a Tesla card is no ways near the volume a geforce card would demand. Maybe the sales are slow and they have enough GPU's sitting around to warrant throwing them into a niche Geforce card.

Of course it's real and I am surprised it took this long.
