New Titan X Released

GeForce website announces NVIDIA's new Titan X graphics cards are now theoretically available. Here's word on this $1200 beast:

TITAN-series graphics cards are the embodiment of perfection, utilizing each generation’s ultimate GPU, the fastest VRAM available, the best components, and the most desirable shrouds. Since 2013 TITAN-series graphics cards have broken records, turned heads, and delivered supercomputer performance and capabilities to gamers, engineers, medical professionals, and scientists around the world. Today, we unleash NVIDIA TITAN X, the ultimate TITAN, powered by Pascal, the world’s fastest and most advanced architecture.

NVIDIA TITAN X has 11 TFLOPS of power, 3584 CUDA Cores, 12GB of 10Gbps GDDR5X VRAM, a 384-bit Memory Interface, 480 GB/sec of Memory Bandwidth, boosts to 1.5GHz out of the box, utilizes superior heat dissipation vapor chamber cooling technology, and features a stunning design. It is, without question, the world’s ultimate graphics card.

Man, can't wait to build my quad-SLI Titan X machine. My Vive will run like buttah.

Too bad SLI is now limited to two cards unless you're benchmarking..

Also too bad SLI doesn't work with Vive currently... jdreyer's dream is dead. At least for the time being.

Titan has always been about paying a lot more for a little more power, to be at the top end. So what? Obviously there's demand for it. I've seen countless specs on PC builds that list one or more Titan cards.

Plot performance vs. value for all these cards and choose where you're comfortable at given what you want to do and how much money you want to spend. It's pretty easy and it's been like this for about as long as GPUs have existed.

Maybe but the thing is those who just GOTTA have the fastest card have yet again been buttF now they only have the second best card and it's tearing those appart inside..... Clown

Yeah but...let's talk about how the shroud looks.

Well this naming scheme isn't at all going to be confusing as hell....

I'm already confused.. Was the last one the Titan Black?

No, the last one was the "nVidia GeForce GTX TitanX" and this one is the "nVidia TitanX" (note the absence of GeForce and GTX). They are trying to distinguish it from the gaming cards in spite of the absence of FP64.

I think it's about keeping an idea of value about this line throughout all generations. It's like owning a Porsche. doesn't matter if it's a 2017 model, or a 2007 model. People generally just see "Porsche". Will probably help people resell those cards in the future. I can just see some craigslist ad: "including TITAN X GPU!!!" looks impressive, could be a 3 year old model, who cares, Porsche!

I believe there's two different generations of card labeled Titan X, hence the confusion? Not positive...

Actually no, you are wrong. These are intended as top of the line Gaming cards. Nvidia already has professional graphics workstation cards, they are called Quadro. Actually the Titans are cheap compared to the top of the line Quadro cards.

That, and ever since Maxwel Titan X, they haven't been given FP64 acceleration, unlike the prior Titans. So, really, they're not that great at compute tasks, so they're just rich gamer cards now.

I was considering this card before Pascal was released, but seeing its performance (and price) has me backing off a bit. I'd like to see someone overclock it to proper speeds and benchmark that. I'm kind of doubting a 1080 Ti will exist at this point.

Did not realize they disabled the fp64 support. Well yeah, ok, so these are now just absurdly overpriced cards for people who enjoy not using what they paid extra for. 12gb of video memory?

I figured the 1080 Ti will be their HBM2 part released next year.

I'm sure it will be coming. They need to do something with the partially defunct GP-102 cores and the huge gap between the $699 GTX 1080 and the $1200 Titan is just begging to be filled by a $999(FE)/$899(custom) GTX 1080Ti like... maybe in October?

They should lease these things to gamers, $100 a month and you get an upgraded Titan X every 10 to 15 months. Older returned ones to be sold refurbished for $250.

They pay shipping both ways, sign me up. For an extra twee fiddy they will send 2 for sli goodness.

Well, shit, my 1080 is scheduled to arrive today, guess I should just deny delivery and order something twice as expensive with a 15% gain!

Heh, leased video cards sounds harder to control than just leasing entire machines. The sort of person who would lease equipment isn't usually the same sort of person who would want to install it.

Also, these cards are not intended as gaming cards. They're of course quite capable at it, but they're intended for other purposes.
