Last week at its GPU Technology Conference, Nvidia unveiled the first details of its upcoming GK110 GPU, the "real" Kepler chip and bigger brother to the GK104 silicon powering the GeForce GTX 600 series. Although the GK110 won't be hitting the market for some time yet, Nvidia's increasing focus on GPU-computing applications has changed the rules, causing the GPU firm to show its cards well ahead of the product's release. As a result, we now know quite a bit about the GK110's architecture and the mix of resources it offers for GPU-computing work. With a little conjecture, we can probably paint a fairly accurate picture of its graphics capabilities, too.

Let's start with the GK110's basic specifications. Since we've known the GK104's layout for a while now, the exact dimensions of its bigger brother have been the subject of some speculation. Turns out most of our guesses weren't too far from the mark, although there are a few surprises. We ...
