NVIDIA Announces the Pascal TITAN X

By July 22, 2016 News No Comments

Ah… same name? But no more GeForce GTX branding. Anyhow, this is it. The new king of GPUs, the Pascal iteration of a Titan. With this we should finally have 60 FPS at 4K resolution at max settings. We shall see veryy soon. Market availability of the card is scheduled for August 2, 2016, priced at US $1,199.

Based on the 16 nm “GP102” silicon, this graphics card has 3,584 CUDA cores spread across 56 streaming multiprocessors, 224 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and a 384-bit GDDR5X memory interface, holding 12 GB of memory.

The core is clocked at 1417 MHz, with 1531 MHz GPU Boost, and 10 Gbps memory, churning out 480 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The card draws power from a combination of 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe power connectors, the GPU’s TDP is rated at 250W.

NVIDIA claims that the GTX TITAN X Pascal is up to 60 percent faster than the GTX TITAN X (Maxwell), and up to 3 times faster than the original GeForce GTX TITAN.

Sadly no HBM2 nor the 16 GB of VRAM rumored but maybe this is only the beginning. We think all depends on what AMD is doing with their VEGA flagship and then NVIDIA may bring out even bigger guns.
