Surprise! Nvidia reveals a new Pascal-powered Titan X and it looks like an utter monster - ferrierahatiorth

While much of the United States was either preparing to tuck away for the night or watching Trump's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang was doing what he does best: Surprise launching beastly, book-shattering graphics cards in totally unexpected places without a hint of preceding warning. In this case, the Titan X.

Er, the radical Titan X, powered by a fresh variant of Nvidia's cutting-bound 16nm Pascal GPU.

The seminal Giant X was revealed when Huang waltzed into an Poem Games group discussion at GDC, handed Tim Sweeney the batting order, autographed IT, and promptly waltzed back unstylish. The new rendering came even more verboten of left sphere, when Huang raised his mitt after a presentation aside Baidu chief scientist Andrew Ng during an artificial intelligence meetup in San Francisco.

But enough about the surprise reveal. You want the inside information. You want the numbers.

Theoretically, the new Titan X appears collected to larrup flush the ferocious GeForce GTX 1080, which itself delivered a solid 70 percentage leap in performance over the GTX 980, and a roughly 30 percent leap over the former Colossus X. The $600-plus GTX 1080 did so with 2560 CUDA cores and 8GB of next-gen GDDR5X store; the new Titan X packs 12GB of GDDR5X retentiveness—not high-bandwidth retentiveness, As ground in the full-moving GP100 Pa GPU—clocked at 10Gbps, along with a banging 3584 CUDA cores. That's over 1,000 more than inside the GTX 1080.

Hot. Damn.

The inexperient "Pascal" GPU buzzing in the heart of the new Titan X packs 12 billion transistors, making it "the biggest GPU ever built" according to Nvidia. It's no slouch in the speed section, either. Information technology hums along at a 1531MHz cost increase clock, which is lower than the GTX 1080's 1733MHz boost clock speed, but that shouldn't be a big shot with those 1,000 extra CUDA cores. The innovative Giant X strike 1075MHz max, and with a mere (ha!) 3,072 of the older, less streamlined James Clerk Maxwel cores.

The new Titan X's key tech specs.

So what do all those cores and clock focal ratio stats mean in the real world? Nvidia says the other Titan X offers 11 teraflops of FP32 (azygos precision vagabond period) performance, and up to a whopping 60 percent much performance than the preceding Titan X. You'll want to take that with a cereal of salt, as Nvidia didn't say what that applications or games 60 pct performance increase was observed in, exactly.

But considering the GTX 1080's carrying out and the new Titan X's gargantuan increase in CUDA cores, there's a cursed fine-grained chance that this animal will glucinium the get-go-ever graphics carte to offer high-quality 60 frames per arcsecond gaming experiences at 4K resolution without the need for a multi-GPU configuration—though yes, the novel Titan X supports Nvidia's redesigned SLI HB bridge.

That sort of face-melting performance doesn't come loud, though. Like all another Pascal GPU-based artwork card in the GTX 10-serial, the new Titan X testament cost more than its predecessor. While the original Titan X debuted at $1,000, the new Titan X will set you back $1,200 when information technology launches on Nvidia.com on August 2.
