2015-03-30
fully modular interior beautiful exterior and completely silent the define there five from fractal design link in the description for pricing and availability hello everyone I'm Dmitry with hardrick onyx and the titan x is without a doubt the GPU that's driving proper 4k gaming into reality after the launch of the GTX 980 we knew that full Maxwell potential was still to be realized at $9.99 the Titan X is aimed at enthusiast gamers offering fully unlocked GM 200 core and then videos once again with a tagline of the world's fastest GPU aimed to introduce a new performance King into the current market equation and it would be really interesting to see how aim D will respond to compete directly with the Titan X loaded with 3072 CUDA cores 96 Aero peace 192 texture units 12 gigabytes of vram on a 384 bit memory bus with 1,000 megahertz base clock and 1075 may Hertz boost and 7000 10 megahertz effective on the memory with the controlled TDP of 250 watts for this powerhouse so the efficiency of max will architecture really shines through every release so the 12 gigabytes of vram is really targeted to eliminate any memory capacity and bandwidth limitations and not so much for current gaming titles but we suspect for near future VR applications and unlike other Titans the Titan X does not offer full speed double precision performance so it's actually right in line with gaming oriented cards like the GTX 980 but for developers the grave double precision be prepared to pay for the Quadro of equivalent card the reference blower style cooler has not changed as from the new black color scheme that looks awesome with tightened silver text at the front of the card and illuminated GeForce GTX at the top I just wish a backplate was included like on the GTX 980 because that would turn the Titan X into one of the best-looking reference GPUs on the market but with the black PCB exposed you can see all the 12v Ram modules to SLI fingers because running the Titan X in SLI would be totally boss for power requirements you'd need six plus eight pin PCI Express and for display connectivity we have a single HDMI 2.0 a single DVI and three DisplayPort outputs an identical configuration found on the gtx 980 and starting with some 1440p benchmarks the type next is the performance King for single GPU gaming staying well above gtx 980 and right below the r9 295x2 and even in some titles beating the 295x2 moving on to USD resolutions and all those extra cuda cores and v RM certainly comes into play delivering impressive minimum frame rates and totally playable average frame rates as well at these high settings and of course the full 12 gigabytes of memory is far from utilized since most games don't require anything above 4 gigabytes power consumption for the technics is beyond impressive actually consuming less watts at blown than in our 9 290x delivering quieter operation that load then the 290 X as well and staying at consistent 81 degrees Celsius at constant load overclocking potential is there expect about a 10% boost on the core and 15% on the memory that account to for about 4 to 5 extra frames on average now give an invidious current efficiency lead they are able to charge wherever they want to the Titan X as competition from AMD is not yet caught up and you can take up the 295x2 for around six ninety nine but crossfire profiles and radio and Driver updates are behind with terrible performance at high resolution as you saw in our benchmarks and here is an overview of performance difference between all the current high-end GPUs and the techniques and the results speak for themselves it is an impressive performer it's expensive but Titan X is still damn good now for me as a video editor I also wanted to compare the type next to my gtx 980 with Adobe CC applications that utilize CUDA acceleration now to my disappointing surprise the type next finish the premiere render only 44 seconds faster than the GTX 980 which is nothing really on a total 30-minute render so an upgrade to a Titan X for your Adobe needs is right now irrelevant as it cannot take advantage of all the available DRM nor the CUDA force so that concludes our review of the Titan X make sure to visit our website with a link below or to get more information on the full written review of this GPU so thanks so much for watching make sure to subscribe for more similar content and we'll see you in the next one
