The upcoming Radeon R9 Fury X2 will soon have a worthy enemy

This weekend word came online that NVIDIA prepares another graphics card to be launched in the near future. We believed it might be another intermediate high-end model. It wasn't exactly so, since NVIDIA plans to take on AMD with a high-end dual-GPU graphics adapter.

Although details are still kept tightly under wraps, the new card might not be an accessible performer, but rather an expensive device meant to allow NVIDIA to make a new show of force, and probably the last, based on the current-gen Maxwell GPU.

According to wccftech the new NVIDIA flagship card will be the most powerful adapter yet and will hold two GM200 GPUs. The new device seems to be capable of extreme performance and is meant to beat the upcoming Radeon R9 Fury X2 that holds dual "Fiji" graphics processors as well.

Called “Geforce GTX Times Two,” the briefing brought together a small number of select tech journalists to sample the new device and the said samples are already in close circuit circulation.

A head-on battle between titans will soon take place

However, as expected, this incredible performance will come at a very exclusivist price, and since the new card will belong to the GeForce GTX Titan range, it will offer unprecedented performance as well. Keeping in mind that the GM200 GPU has 3072 stream processors, a dual package of this GPU die will grow the stream processors number to 6144 SPs which is enormous, but no less enormous than the 8192 stream processors and 8GB of high-bandwidth memory of the Fury X2. So expect a battle of titans to unfold pretty soon.

Currently, it's unknown if the card will feature 12GB or 24GB of memory. If it will carry 24GB of memory, it will probably offer very high performance and it will also be immensely power hungry, so a massive cooler should be expected.

More details will probably emerge soon, with some official hints as well, so expect more impressive specs to hit the press in the following days.
