Nvidia Titan X: release date and price of high-end graphics card

The Nvidia Titan X is the fastest consumer graphics card in the world.


If the GeForce GTX 1080 is not enough, the Nvidia Titan X looks at the Nvidia. The graphics chip manufacturer named his new flagship Pascal based on a deep learning meeting at the University of Stanford (California, USA). The Nvidia Titan X will be celebrating its release at a proud $ 1,200 plus tax. The graphics card will be the successor to the GeForce Titan X. Nvidia renounces the name "Geforce" with the new model, the new card will surpass the predecessor by about 60 percent.


From the 2nd of August, interested parties can order the Nvidia Titan X in the online shop of Nvidia. Buyers are looking forward to 3.584 shader units, a 384-bit memory interface and 12GB GDDR5X graphics memory, which transfers data at 480 gigabytes per second. With the GeForce GTX 1080 it is compared to "only" 2,560 computing units, 256 bit memory interface, 8GB GDDR5X memory and 320 gigabytes per second.


Nvidia quantifies the raw computing power of the Nvidia Titan X on 11 Teraflops. Compared to the Geforce 1080 with 9 Teraflops, this means a performance margin of just over 22 percent. The graphics processor of the Nvidia Titan X clocks with 1,417 MHz (in the boost: 1,531 MHz), the Geforce GTX 1080 offers in the reference design (Founders Edition) with 1.607 / 1.733 MHz higher rates, however, the number of computing units makes the difference. What the key data for differences in games mean, must show upcoming benchmarks. The pure Teraflop data is not a safe or 1: 1 convertible indicator of the game performance.

The Nvidia Titan X for their immense computing power a power consumption of 250 watts bring, with the Geforce GTX 1080 it is 180 watts. The reference design of the Nvidia Titan X requires, in addition to the power supply through the PCI Express slot, an 8 and an additional 6-pin plug of the power supply. Both GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 come in the reference design with an 8-pin connector.
