Supercomputing with a consumer price....

Nvidia with the introduction of Geforce Titan, based in the Tesla GK110 core, made it affordable to build systems for a low price that have the same power as systems that cost tens of thousands $.

The first consumer benchmarks show that it is the best single core GPU out there at the moment. From some cinebench 11.5 test I have seen althought it does not beat the top of the line Quadro cards, it comes pretty close. But GTX Titan has one major advantage compared to the Quadro, with a single card you can use it both for work and recreation
