I feel bad for the guys over at Nvidia PR and marketing I really do not because of the recent three and a half gig gtx970 fiasco not because of the hours that I know they work based on when I get responses to my emails and not because the hardware that it's their job to convince us to buy is particularly hard to sell most of the time I feel bad for the Nvidia guys because it is got to be hard to keep finding more and more creative ways to write reviewers guides and product pages that exist just to communicate that this new thing we made is the world's fastest GPU again because yes folks they've done it again this is the gtx titan x the well world's fastest GPU course RHA tigt in each one hundred-eyed GTX all-in-one liquid coolers make your system run cooler and look better to click on this graphics card to learn more let's start with the specs under the hood of the Titan X you'll find AGM 200 GPU the Big Brother to the Maxwell architecture GM 204 that powers the GTX 980 and 970 so you've probably guessed by now that the Titan X is also Maxwell based but when I said Big Brother I really meant big the Titan X packs a whopping 8 billion transistors running at a base clock of 1 gigahertz with typical boost speeds around 10 seventy-five megahertz 3072 CUDA cores 12 gigs of gddr5 memory yeah I said 12 gigs all that'll be more relevant for computational applications and 3d rendering with large models than gaming for the foreseeable future running at 7 gigahertz and connected via a 384 bit bus just like the original Titan and Titan black and that's not the only thing it has in common with the original Titan I mean I wonder whose job it is at Nvidia to design the reference coolers does he actually do any work anymore cuz this one with its copper vapor chamber aluminum fins and the luminous rod looks just like the only one I mean maybe there was like an incident a couple of years ago where he like bumped into Jensen in the cafeteria and spilled soup down the front of his shirt so they actually laid the guy off and then in a fit of anger he took the blueprints for their metal shroud stock cooler so all they can do now is make slight tweaks to the color scheme every time which okay no sorry I don't actually think that's what happened and at any rate the color scheme tweak is probably all that this excellent design needed to look even more awesome anyway but I still wouldn't have been too disappointed to see a bit of a refresh with a brand new top of the line card the good news though is that the looks of a graphics card should probably be the last thing you're considering when buying it and the Titan X has got it where it counts gen 3 PCIe 16x connectivity at the bottom dual PCIe power connectors 1 6 pin and 1/8 pin at the top and the 6 plus 2 phase power delivery designed to handle the cards 250 watt TDP or 275 watt power limit with it set to 110 percent in your favorite overclocking utility it's got two sli connectors at the top to enable up to four-way configurations which in my mind is probably the only way you're going to get enough horsepower to justify the 12 gig frame buffer for gaming and the rear i/o takes a page from the rest of its Maxwell family members with dvi-i hdmi 2.0 for up to 4k 60 Hertz displays and triple DisplayPort 1.2 ports for 5k displays like Dells fancy-pants you p27 15 K that we checked out recently here and surround 4k monitors oh yeah and they're all compatible with G sync as well and of course the other new Maxwell features that will be making their way into games over the next couple of years are also present here VX GI and videos fancy voxel-based real-time lighting technology MFA a their handy dandy and automatically applied through GeForce experience anti-aliasing technique that delivers very similar results to NSA and a smaller performance hit and there's some new stuff like physics which okay physics isn't new but the CPU based implementations went open-source which what Nvidia what is this doing in my tight necks reviewers guide this supports the GPU paths of physics just fine moving on ah you Chaz you want me to talk about VR features that I can do even though gaming head-mounted display products like oculus rift and HTC and Valve's vive are coming later this year whatever that means Nvidia is hard at work reducing the latency between the frame being rendered and displayed on your hmd to reduce motion sickness including a new sli mode that allows presumably this works with two GPUs one GPU to render the left eye image and the second to render the right eye image dramatically improving performance and the awesomeness in theory doesn't end there because we haven't even talked about overclocked performance of this beast and for that I will hand off to Luke but I got a feeling disco and be good and it is good this card slams the competition in terms of single GPU pure performance and it was able to achieve clearly higher minimum maximum and average FPS in all the games we tested if you're wondering about it's 12 gigabytes of vram well shadow of mordor with ultra textures on was able to use about six point four gigabytes of the stuff but we will need to push it even harder to see more utilization here in terms of overclocking this is a pretty interesting card that 250 to 275 watt TDP results in a card that really pushes in videos heatsink design under load I was hitting around almost 400 watts from the wall in terms of power and around 83 to 86 degrees Celsius with the fan on auto so it's pretty hot but that's not all it's super power-hungry as well the first limit I hit was temperature shortly afterwards after a little tweaking as well I also hit power and voltage limits and in the end I was able to land somewhere around 1375 to 1393 megahertz and NVIDIA specs you to get around 1400 megahertz so you may be able to get a little bit more out of your Titan X on your own one of the big factors that may have played into my slightly lower clock speed is the room house testing in was at a fairly balmy ambient temperature of 28 degrees Celsius I'm really hoping someone makes a really beefy aftermarket cooling and power solution for this GPU I would really like to see what the Titan X is capable of when it's not hitting voltage power and thermal limits all over the freaking place maybe hooking up to phase change could even be a little fun in terms of price for performance this may not be the best value card out there if you but if you want to just crush things with a single card this may be the ticket let me know over on the forum if you'd like to see more tight next videos and what they should be about maybe an SLI showdown against maybe dual 980 s or maybe some sub-zero cooling with a phase change I don't know let me know anyways back to you Linus speaking of cool things are the forum or whatever he was talking about our friends over at cheero have recently released a couple of new dan board products that look pretty damn compelling ah oh that's awful these are the dan board but walk 3040 200 milliamp our batteries to products that address one of the major concerns about their previous danboard products the form factor these are super thin devices so they're much more likely to be able to fit into things with the block and plate at about point five inches and point four inches thick respectively of course they still feature all the same safety measures like overcharge protection that we're used to seeing on cheero products but do so at a size that is much easier to fit in your pocket oh and they also want us to show off the new rebel tech Dan board minifigure which could add a bit of cute dan board flare to your desk at work or at home or your gtx titan x not adorable look at it go on there it's not cute anyway check out the link in the video description for more info on all of this good stuff from our friends over at Chi row so there you have it the Titan X is well the fastest GPU in the world Congrats NVIDIA you've done it again no wonder you were more focused on putting chips and cars at CES this year at least then people will congratulate you for you know something different for a change well even if you're bored of building fast graphics cards over and over again I for one appreciate it and as much as I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time with this GPU I'm looking forward even more to the next rabbit that you guys pull out of your hat keep on truckin guys so that's it guys like this video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment hopefully on the forum linked in the video description if your feelings are more complicated than that you want to interact with our community also linked in the video description we've got a place
