To clarify, there are 15 SMXs in a GK110 GPU. For GTX Titan, one of them
is disabled. There are 15 (15 choose 1) ways to do this. All of them seem
to be broken.

There are 12 out of 15 active SMXs in GTX 780. That means there are 455 (15
choose 3) ways to make one. I'm a little nervous that some of those
configurations may be broken, so the best thing to do is to test if they
exhibit deterministic behavior upon acquiring them, and if they don't, RMA
them as defective.
