Nvidia preps GTX Titan Black Edition and GTX 790

Nvidia’s GTX 780 Ti graphics card reclaimed the single-GPU performance crown from AMD two months ago, and it seems that the parallel processing giant is prepping to defend its title with the impending launch of the GeForce GTX Titan Black Edition, and dual-GPU GeForce GTX 790. According to a report over at VideoCardz, the updated Titan will contain the same GPU as found in the GTX 780, but sport more FP64 CUDA cores, double the GDDR5 memory to 6GB, 2,880 CUDA cores, 240 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The Titan is expected to ship next month, and clock in at around USD$1,000. VideoCardz could only speculate [pun intended] at the specs for the GTX 790, but believes that the card will ship in March for USD$1,000.
