Nvidia Launches the GeForce GTX TITAN X - tech|
| (hx) 11:07 AM CET - Mar,18 2015 | 
Nvidia and its partners have announced the release of the GeForce GTX TITAN X, a monster video card sporting 3,072 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR5 memory for $999.00. The TITAN X video card has 12GB of VRAM, not 11.5GB, 50% more streaming units, 50% more texture units, and 50% more CUDA cores than the current GTX 980 flagship NVIDIA GPU. The GeForce GTX TITAN X press release from ORIGIN PC has the details.
ORIGIN PC announced today the availability of the NVIDIA GeForce TITAN
X graphics card on their award-winning line of CHRONOS, MILLENNIUM and
GENESIS desktops for gamers, artists, enthusiasts and professionals.
The GeForce GTX TITAN X was designed for the most demanding gaming
enthusiast. It combines the latest technologies and extreme performance
of the new NVIDIA Maxwell architecture in the fastest, most advanced
graphics card on the planet engineered to run all of the latest PC
titles at stunning 4K resolutions. Featuring 3,072 cores, 12 GB of
GDDR5 memory, and support for ORIGIN PC's professional GPU
overclocking, TITAN X is easily the best performing single gaming GPU
ever produced by NVIDIA for hardcore gamers and professionals all over
the world.
TITAN X is the only single GPU that can actually take on 4K gaming at
high settings and deliver gorgeously smooth framerates. It works
seamlessly with GeForce Experience, which lets you access the latest
drivers and optimize game settings with a single click. You can even
record your greatest gaming moments with NVIDIA ShadowPlay to share
with friends. Dominate the competition using the power of the new
NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X graphics card inside your next ORIGIN PC
GENESIS, MILLENNIUM or CHRONOS desktop today!
NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X from ORIGIN PC Features:
* 3,072 NVIDIA CUDA cores with 12GB GDDR5 Memory
* ORIGIN PC Professional GPU Overclocking
* Up to 4-WAY NVIDIA SLI
* NVIDIA GameStream and SHIELD ready technology
* ORIGIN PC Cryogenic Liquid Cooling Support
The first reviews can be found on OCC, PC Perspective, TechReport, HotHardware, Guru3D.
Clearly and without a doubt, the GeForce GTX Titan X is now the world's fastest, single-GPU graphics card for PC gaming. With a combination of 3072 CUDA cores, 12GB of memory and impressive efficiency, the Titan X will be able to handle any game at 2560x1440, 3440x1440 and is clearly the best option for 4K gaming on a single GPU. Compare this new flagship product to NVIDIA's own GTX 980, our performance increases range from 25-50% with a good average floating in the 30-35% range, especially in those pixel dense 4K scores. That is a pretty wide delta for real-world gaming results though I imagine many of our readers expected a bit more when you saw the specifications increase by 50% across the board. But keep in mind that the clock speed of the GM200 GPU in this case is running 10-12% lower (at stock) than the GM204 used in the GTX 980, so that explains a lack of perfect scaling.
AMD's competition has two different options. First, the Radeon R9 290X based on the aging Hawaii GPU is, on average, 40-45% slower than the new GTX Titan X card. We actually measured a couple of 50%+ differences (Bioshock Infinite at 4K, Unigine Heaven) as well, giving NVIDIA's new flagship GPU a measurable, and sizeable, advantage over the best single GPU that AMD can offer.
The R9 295X2 is interesting as well - by combining two of those Hawaii GPUs on a single, very power hungry graphics card, AMD can still make the claim of the fastest graphics card. In our testing, the 295X2 produces average frame rates around 25-30% faster than the GTX Titan X. But of course that comes with all the complications associated with multi-GPU system and gaming. You have to worry about CrossFire profile updates for newer games (which are admittedly slower to appear than with NVIDIA's drivers) and you need to be concerned with frame time consistency and the ability for two GPUs to run as smoothly as possible. AMD has done a lot of work in the last two years to help improve the CrossFire experience in this area, but it will never be perfect and we saw several instances of higher frame time variance (Battlefield 4, Metro: Last Light).
Also, take note that, for gaming today, 12GB of memory is decidedly overkill. You might be able to use as much as 6-7GB based on what NVIDIA's testing has shown before the Titan X release, and they claim this makes the GPU extra "future proof" but really...12GB is just a bragging point!
Obviously the one caveat to this is that price tag - $999 is a lot to spend on a GPU that offers "only" 35% better gaming performance than the $550 GTX 980. But, much like the Intel Extreme Edition processors that continue to be released, refreshed and sold, the market proves that these parts sell enough to warrant the cost.

Do let us know how many of these have been sold in the first three months. I am curious about the brain damage levels on the planet.

Is that right? What did you say about the GTX 980 on your marketing speech again?

None of the sites I'd trust with a review.
Ok, maybe one. |

Haha. maybe |

Nah.. with DX12 it should allow games to really shine almost making frames a minor consideration. |

I'll believe it when I see it. |
|
| Thudo | (02:38 PM CET - Mar,20 2015 ) | | Same.. so far all the benchmarks show the revolution but yeah have to greatly substantiate the hype on this one. |
|
| Tom | (02:51 PM CET - Mar,20 2015 ) | | No Thudo, I don't fall prey to marketing like you clearly do. With age comes wisdom. You might find that out one day. |
|
| Thudo | (03:26 PM CET - Mar,20 2015 ) | | Except I feel this time its largely different as they wouldn't hype it like this then fall well below the results shown. I'm betting this will largely be true. |
|
| Tom | (06:52 PM CET - Mar,20 2015 ) | | Watch and learn. |
|
| Thudo | (06:58 PM CET - Mar,20 2015 ) | I'd be impressed with a 25% increase in frames.
Whats happening for years and years now is the h/w is vastly out-stripping the s/w in terms of specs/raw power so its time for a role reversal of sorts. We've had the Ferrari engine under the hood with the lada body for far too long now: its about time we do something about that. ;) |

Overclocking can give you 25% with ease. New driver optimizations give you 8-20%.
I'd be impressed with a >75% increase.
But, only whilst using the same card, same resolution, same level of details in the same game that has been released on DX9 or DX11 well before its DX12 build.
That's the only way to know that you're not being played.
IMHO, they'll release some game's DX9 or DX11 build with no optimizations whatsoever, a highly optimized DX12 build and demo both on a top of the line card. Finally, they brag about the vast improvements DX12 had brought.
No. Release a DX12 build for a game that's already out there with the same hw, setting and so and then show me your "vast" improvements. |
|
| Thudo | (08:29 PM CET - Mar,20 2015 ) | Well I was just talking about just DX12 benefits they are touting without any additional h/w tweaks. ;)
But yeah I'd like to see some sort of backward compatibility so older DX9-11 get some optimizations. ;) |

Well, the raw DX12 benefit should be at least 35%.
DX9 thru DX11 optimizations would be nice for sure.
But, DX builds have never been backwards compatible since DX9.
This is how they intend to sell the ignorant masses the next WinDOS build every time.
Like it or not, it's all about the marketing and through that, the money :-( |
|
| Csimbi | (11:12 AM CEST - Mar,29 2015 ) | That's great news.
I guess MS managed to hire some programmers finally... |
