How Powerful is the NEW Nvidia Pascal Titan X

2016-07-22
the green team is on a roll first the 1080 then the 1070 then the 1060 and now the biggest and baddest of them all the brand new Titan X based on Pascal architecture so how much do we know how powerful will it be how power-hungry price let's figure this thing out let's start off first with the design the new Titan X is sporting a similar build to that of the 1080 with a few minor changes including a darker brush however staying consistent to the edgy metallic theme of its younger siblings while there aren't many pictures yet to confirm this we can expect that the Titan X will also include a matching backplate now let's jump into the specs right off the bat 3584 CUDA cores absolutely insane considering the 1080 already proved itself by crushing the current competition with its 2560 CUDA cores remember these aren't scalable across generations so that the Maxwell Titan X packed 3072 CUDA cores in with GPU but fell short of the 1080 which had fewer nvidia 16 nanometer Pasco design proves it's worth here greater efficiency and performance with less under the hood the Pascal Titan X will boast an equivalent amount of VRAM to that of its predecessor whopping 12 gigabytes in total although this time around that 12 will be enhanced with the gddr5 X accelerating memory speeds to 10 gigabits per second mirroring that of the GTX 1080 however thanks to its wider 384 bit memory bus the Titan X is capable of 480 gigabytes per second would even convert that is to start off with 10 gigabits per second that simplifies down to 1.25 Giga bytes per second and then multiply that times 384 to yield the 480 Giga bytes per second and keep in mind that you won't notice these distinct differences when actually playing games unless you plan on playing with some outrageous 3 4k monitor setup which would be outrageously awesome as well taking into account a clock speed of 1500 and 31 megahertz as well and vidi have rated their new king and prepare yourselves 11 teraflops compare this to the 9 teraflops floating-point performance from the 1080 and roughly 7 from the old Titan X remember teraflop values are only one side of the coin we have to consider drivers game optimization a lot goes into quote-unquote ranking a graphics card but what I will do is this use pre-recorded gtx 1070 and 1080 and 1060 3dmark fire strike scores to extrapolate a fancy statistics term there Pascal Titan X performance the gtx 1070 received a 3d mark firestrike 1.1 score of sixteen thousand and eighty nine when paired with an i7 6700 k overclocked to four point six gears and sixteen gigabytes of 3000 megahertz ram the gtx 1080 received a score of nineteen thousand 521 and the gtx 1060 scored eleven thousand six hundred and twelve if we take into account the coup de coeur counts of these three GPUs we can construct a semi natural logarithmic proportion bear with me I'm an engineering major where X is the coup de coeur count of each GPU and Y is the finalized fire strike score to project Titan X performance what you're about to see is not an official 3d mark fire strike score of the Titan X it's just an estimation the official score of the card will vary to a certain degree when it is finally released so with nineteen hundred and twenty CUDA cores for the ten seventy two thousand five hundred and sixty for the ten eighty and twelve hundred and eighty for the ten sixty and 3584 for the Titan X who I need a breather after that we can project Titan X 3d mark fire strike performance to fall somewhere around the 24 thousand mark this simulation actually calculated 24 thousand and fifty nine to be precise nonetheless the Pascal Titan X is sure to decimate any single card thrown at it and without an answer from the red team expected anytime soon this can be great news for the green teams market share although I'm not sure many of you are going to be able to afford this card let alone desire it given the price tag that you're about to see now a card that's powerful will require power it packs a thermal design power rating of 250 Watts a splitting image of its former self keep in mind that TDP is not the same thing as total power draw so under full load this card will actually draw more than 250 watts from a power supply to TDP is just a an estimation for how much power in the form of heat the card will dissipate while under full load the card will also require a single six pin and eight in combo of supplementary power again identical to the former Titan if Nvidia grants third-party access to the Titan X early this time around which it did not for the previous Titan X we can expect dual eight pin connectors for beefy coolers and beautiful LED illumination that will certainly need the extra power and finally price how much you ask well it's not cheap you ready for this twelve hundred US dollars and to my friends in other places you'll almost certainly have to pay even more the former Maxwell Titan was in a class of its own last year it was twice as expensive as its 980ti counterpart who performed admirably when overclocked with third party coolers but barely edged out wins in most scenarios this time around invidious betting on the added GPU boost behind the Pascal architecture and quite a large number of CUDA cores we're looking at a solid performance improvement over the 1080 a substantially higher number of compute cores but again a substantially higher price tag you tell me if it's worth it stay tuned for August 2nd if you like what you saw the video I had to scramble to make this thing as quick as possible because the announcement was just a few hours ago I said of recording it's 1218 here central Daylight Time but you preciate the video give it a thumbs up give it a thumbs down if you don't or if you just hate everything about life be sure to click the subscribe button however and stay tuned for interesting stuff here on the channel we're gonna do all kinds of things we're not just gonna stick with computers the names science studio so let's stay true to that this is science studio thanks for learning with us
