Oh what is this guy doing he's wandering a video hmm wait what GTX 1080 whoa my video hmm tie necks I know so while in the midst of testing G texts an ADIZ from various board partners Nvidia pulled the trigger last week and launched the Titan X based off the Pascal architecture even though this card is primarily meant to provide high performance yet an affordable solution for scientific deep learning tasks it nonetheless set a spark within the gaming industry people were talking about the price the performance and how much improvement it offers over the GTX 1080 so this video will answer all those questions and more Toshiba now offering occ products that are awesome and affordable like the Rd 400 TR 150 + VT 180 that are backed by advanced warranty program now stronger than ever under Toshiba this is by no means an affordable GPU and I'm serious priced at $1,200 USD people will think twice before pressing the checkout button something to also remember is that none of Nvidia's board partners will have this card for sale and neither will online retailers the Titan X will only be available through Nvidia com now before I go on there are a few things you guys have to be aware of I mentioned that Nvidia is supposedly marketing this as a more of a professional solution since it features over 40 teraflops of 8-bit integer performance while it will indeed get folks in the deep learning community excited I've also seen a lot of gamers snapping up these cards Plus this Titan X has an illuminated GeForce logo on its side so gamers are obviously a good portion of its intended audience glancing at the specs the Titan X is something incredible it's got 40% more CUDA cores than the GTX 1080 12 gigabytes of gddr5 X memory and one of the clock frequencies are a little lower than its younger brother the mass of course and texture units should make up for that physically the card looks like a black town founders edition 1080 with the angular sides and the exact same cooler I love the stealth look and it's gorgeous considering this card has a 2 50-watt EEP it's not a surprise to see an 8 plus 6 pin power input this also grants a good amount of power input overhead for overclocking the GP 102 core as well the cards underside is completely covered with a backplane which houses and videos logo as well as the GeForce type next label as for i/o you're getting three DisplayPort 1.3 outputs a single HDMI 2.0 connector and a legacy DVI given this card has a same cooler found on the 10 eighties founders Edition temperatures actually start off quite well and then end up hovering around the 85 degrees Celsius mark as we seen from the past Nvidia's boost algorithms work hard enough to balance power consumption fan speeds temperatures and frequencies to achieve optimal performance taking a look at fan speeds that was the first sacrifice as you can see the rotational speeds are higher than every other reference design we've seen during this generation the difference is just above 500 rpm which isn't that much considering what's powering the Titan X but it isn't quite either our sample was able to hit a constant speed of about 1600 megahertz even after hours of game playing but I'm sure many of you will want to throw a custom water cooling solution and that should give you a lot more Headroom for overclocking like I said before the stock cooler isn't quiet and it isn't loud either there was noticeably a lot more fan noise than the GTX 1080 but it was under control this is a powerful yet power efficient GPU likely because Nvidia already has a good handle on their 16 nanometer manufacturing process they have been able to cram 12 billion transistors and 12 gigabytes of gddr5 X memory into this card and it only requires just 27 watts more power than the 90 DTI and 18 watts more than the fury ax this is beyond unbelievable so are you guys ready for the benchmarks here you go 1440p tests at Ultra sinks were dominated by the Titan X that's all I have to say go ahead continue watching I think it's safe to say that the Titan X is a true 4k drivable GPU just look at it everything at max settings and you're achieving close to 60 frames per second in most titles whereas more than that in some other ones jaw-dropping results okay let me set up the stage for you guys the Titan X is a ludicrously fast card and you've seen it by the numbers but there's still more room left under the tank for overclocking however there are a few limitations first nvidia hasn't a lot for any software based voltage unlocking at least for the time being but perhaps we can expect somewhere around those lines in the future second this is a reference card only which means you will never see a custom heatsink from board partners which is disappointing because the stock cooler isn't meant to hold its Ford when the Titan X is pushed above its limits but I can't wait to see what this car can do when put under water with that out of the way how far were we able to push this bad boy poorly freaking far with the generous 20% power limit overhead Nvidia currently provides we were able to hit the constant core frequency of 1920 megahertz and the GDR FMX modules operated just a little north of 11 gigabits per second and here's a test run of the division at max settings in over K this kind of performance from one card is beyond incredible a single Titan X achieved performance levels that almost approaches to GTX 10 a DS in SLI so who would actually buy a graphics card that costs so much naturally some budding scientists will see this as an awesome value considering the price for an equivalent card from Nvidia Tesla line up the new Titan X can also be targeted towards people who are looking for a GTX 1080 SLI setup as the price points are similar and the single card solution won't encounter some of the dual card system potential hiccups of course there's no real reason to spend $1200 on a GPU unless if you won the absolute best of the best but for the rest you'd have to think twice before clicking the checkout button I'll admit I would spend $1200 on a 69 hundred K for my upcoming workstation PC and that will ask me for the next two to three years who knows how long this Titan X would remain the fastest GPU on the market but for now this card is the fastest GPU that you can buy so how many of you guys would actually pick up one of these cards or how many of you would actually consider spending that much money on a GPU definitely share your thoughts down below I meet bird with hurricane axe thank you so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one
