The reveal of the Titan X follows the launch of the GTX 1080, the GTX 1070, and the GTX 1060, all of which were released over the past two months. It would also have given AMD a poke, especially since the company is planning to use HBM2 in its upcoming Vega architecture. But given this is Nvidia's flagship GPU, and it costs $1200, its inclusion would have been a pleasant surprise. Yes, HBM2 is still in its infancy (the P100 is the only GPU that uses it) and costs are high. It's also a wee bit disappointing not to see HBM2 being used and Nvidia opting for GDDR5X. Those hoping for a return of the stellar FP64 performance of the original Titan may be disappointed here, although Nvidia is pushing the card's 44 TOPs of INT8, a measurement for neural network inference performance. With previous Titans, Nvidia has simply taken its biggest chip and given it a prosumer makeover, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Interestingly, while the new GTX Titan X features the same number of CUDA cores as Nvidia's Tesla P100 GPU-as used in deep learning and science applications-it is using a different chip. Externally, the Titan X uses the same multifaceted cooler of the GTX 1080, albeit now finished in black. Connectivity consists of DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0b, and dual-link DVI. Power is provided by one 8-pin and one 6-pin PCIe connector, with a max TDP of 250W, the same as the previous Titan X. The chip runs at a 1417MHz base clock and 1531MHz boost clock.īacking up GP102 is 12GB of GDDR5X memory running at an effective 10GHz and attached to a wide 382-bit bus, resulting in a 480GB/s of memory bandwidth, or a 50 percent increase over the GTX 1080. While Nvidia hasn't revealed the amount of Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), texture units, and the like, if the company uses a similar architecture to the GP104 chip (as used in the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070), expect a 40 percent boost in SMs over the GTX 1080 to 28. The Titan X is powered by a new chip, GP102, which packs in 3584 CUDA cores. At first it'll only be available from the Nvidia website, but it will percolate down to other retailers soon after. The new Titan X launches on August 2 in the US and Europe. $1200-UK price TBC, but probably £1,100-buys you 11 teraflops of FP32 performance, which is a significant 24 percent jump over the 8.9 teraflops of the GTX 1080, and just over 60 percent higher than the 6.6 teraflops of the original Titan X. Yes, Nvidia has taken its most expensive graphics card and given it a Pascal-architecture makeover. Original storyįorget the GTX 1080: there's a new slab of graphics card hotness on the way from Nvidia, and its name is, er, the GTX Titan X. Americans can pick a new Titan X up for a relatively cheap $1,200, though it appears to be out of stock currently. At the time of writing, the Titan X is in stock in the UK. The Titan X is currently only available through Nvidia's own online store, priced at £1,100 in the UK and €1,300 in the Eurozone. , August 5: The GTX Titan X, powered by the GP102 Pascal GPU, is now available to buy in the UK, Europe, and US. Nvidia Pascal Titan X will not feature faster FP64 or FP16 perf. ![]() You can join the discussion on Nvidia's Pascal Titan X on the OC3D Forums. It seems that Nvidia has decided to build separate compute and gaming GPUs this generation, building GP100 for high-performance computing with NVLink support and several other compute-focused features while GP102 focuses solely on gaming performance. The GTX Titan X will come with 12 GB of GDDR5X VRAM and over 1000 more CUDA cores than the GTX 1080, though they will come with lower clock speeds. ![]() ![]() While the Pascal GTX Titan X will offer best in class gaming performance when it launches, it will still come in at an eye-watering price of $1200 and leave the budget FP64 compute crowd without the "old style" Titan of their dreams.īelow are the specification of Nvidia's Pascal Titan X compared to their GTX 1080 and other Pascal powered GPUs. Now Nvidia has confirmed that the Pascal GTX Titan X will not feature increased FP64 and FP16 rates over GP104, making the Titan X an Ultra-powerful Gaming GPU and nothing more. With the release of the Maxwell Titan X that changed, with the Titan X having the same Double precision compute scaling/ rates as their GTX Gaming counterparts, taking away the attractive budget compute properties of the Original GTX Titan. ![]() The original GTX Titan GPU had a unique characteristic that made it popular for more than just gaming, it had support for Double Precision, FP64, compute, allowing people to access some huge amounts of compute performance at a price that is much lower than Nvidia's Tesla or Quadro GPUs. Nvidia Pascal Titan X will not feature faster FP64 or FP16 performance
