Two year ago , Nvidia announcedits original Titan graphics card , a bad - son built on the company ’s Kepler technology and for a clock time the most powerful card out there . Now , the Titan X is here and it ’s ready to reclaim the commode .
The raw Titan X is the fastest single - GPU card around , and it looks to beat out theGTX 980,780Ti , and the original Titan by leap and bounds . That ’s due in part to the fact that the young Titan X reps Nvidia ’s efficient Maxwell architecture , and that it has 12 GB of GDDR5 VRAM , and 3072 CUDA cores . With some 8 billion transistors on a 602 mm field , the Titan X has Nvidia ’s braggart and also most powerful GPU .
But what ’s all that mumbo jumbo intend gambling - wise ? Two independent things . First , 4 kilobyte gaming at sensible frame rates . The Titan X can push enough pixels to get games like Dying Light , Shadow of Mordor , and Far Cry 4 running in 4 K at max preferences with frame rates around the 40 human body - per - second range . That is to say , it run damn unexampled game at the max - iest uttermost you could max .
Second and further off are the applications for VR . The Titan X was behindOculus ’ demos at GDC , whileValve ’s HTC Vivemanaged to get away with using a GTX 980 . But with the onslaught of virtual reality headsets on the elbow room , chances are the Titan X will be a upright option for early adopter .
We have n’t put the Titan X through its paces ourselves , but nerdier ( and damn knowledgeable)sites like AnandTech have , and the finding of fact looks good . Yes , this is a beast for game , if you’re able to afford the $ 1,000 pricetag . That , and if you have the 4 K proctor or VR aspiration to make the investment worth while .
