GK106 after all

[Crap Daddy]

So, first picture of a GK106 has surfaced. Whether real or fake it's the first that I have seen.
No important additional info found yet.

Several months ago, I said:

6 SMX in 2 GPC and 3 ROP partitions thus totalling

1152 SP
96 TMU
192 bit
24 ROP
4 geometry engines
2 raster engines

Any bets?

If properly clocked (1000 Mhz+) it could be very very close to the 660 Ti. Maybe except with scenes/games heavy on geometry/tesselation. In fact I could see it being faster in certain scenarios, but I'm sure Nvidia will make it so that it doesn't happen. Personally I do hope that's the case and that Nvidia's answer is to clock the chip very low, like they did with the GTX 460. OC and yay free performance.

I still think that 1152 SP that we see officially on Geforce.com and are specs for 660 OEM belong to a GK104.

It was taken down, probably fake. But from the same source, arabpcworld:

960 SP figure keeps coming up everywhere. 5 SMX, 2+3 asymetrical design?? That's weird.

It even made me think of Nvidia making the SMX simpler with 160 SP each, but relation of pixel and texture fillrate means there's 80 texture units, so 5 SMX for sure.
