As explained our American colleagues, when creating the graphics processor GM200, which is available on 28-nm technology, priority was given to increase the productivity of functional units responsible for the graphics acceleration. As a result, progress in accelerating double-precision calculations are not planned, and NVIDIA even admitted that at first was not going to let the market system DIGITS DevBox with four video cards GeForce GTX Titan X, which in certain computational tasks can be used quite effectively. As explained by the site Fudzilla referring to comments made by NVIDIA, the company originally planned to use these systems to their own needs, and only under pressure from clients decided to release them on the market.
NVIDIA representatives also make it clear that those who receive effective in speeding up the calculation in double precision tool can still buy boosters Tesla K80 processors based on two GK210. In addition, the sale of the remaining video card and GeForce GTX Titan Black. Vice president of development at NVIDIA GPU John Alben generally believed that the performance of GeForce GTX Titan X in single-precision calculations is more important. Related Products :
