nVidia announce the Titan X at GDC 2015

Uncle Petey · 10 Mar 2015 at 17:12

Considering the likely price point, I'd fully expect it to command that kind of performance advantage. If you can afford/justify it, then good on you.
What will be interesting is seeing how close the 390x gets and at what price it comes in at.

Have to admit, the backplate looks pretty special.

It doesn't have one though. :confused:

The fact its a single chip solution still on the same 28nm process, using much less die space that two Hawaii and (most likey) half the power consumption but yet similar performance. From a design POV that would be some fantastic engineering.

Normally you need a die shrink to have a single GPU solution beat a high end dual GPU card.

The dual gpu arch however had the proverbial kitchen sink bolted on which the 980 and also presumably the Titan X do not. Impressive engineering none the less but not the second coming!

It depends on how many times you look at the images... I am on my third coming

Speculating $999USD AND looking as fast as my pair of 780's. I'm sold already.

Amd certainly have their work cut out if this is all true.

They should have called it Titan XXX in that case. Make sure drink plenty of fluids and keep well hydrated, especially once you get them home!

Easily pleased some people

Mr. May · 10 Mar 2015 at 17:52

how come they are getting over 100% scaling with extra cards doesn't seem right if you ask me, either the single card driver is pants or its fake lol

The Running Man · 10 Mar 2015 at 17:52

Looks overpriced and under performing.

RanxZy · 10 Mar 2015 at 18:03

Benchmarks usually take the most advantage of multi GPUs.

Shame the 6gb 780's were as rare as hens teeth. Pair of theese and id have been set for a good while to come.

29% faster that a GTX 980, thats pretty much exactly what i said, some people were citing 50%......

Good though, good performance

Tonester0011 · 10 Mar 2015 at 18:13

If true, nice increase. When proper benchmarks come out, can see these storming ahead of the 980s @4k etc. I've noticed they reckon the price is back down to normal Titan prices, was there any source for that?

Probably 50% because of the number of shaders / other specs...

... they just didn't take into account the clock speed difference

3000 cores @ 1-1.1ghz

vs

2000 cores @ 1.4-1.5ghz

Looks to be scaling pretty well to the number of cores and clockspeeds... will be interesting to see how well they overclock.

These are the cards I have been waiting for... hopefully the EVGA tradeup program will be well priced.

Omfg colour me very impressed if they are correct. First chance I have had to look at them today

I'm quite surprised it is only 30% faster, I would have hoped that NVidia would've pushed the boat out and really gone for it.

Of course that is assuming that they are accurate.

LoadsaMoney · 10 Mar 2015 at 18:48

Eh, what have i missed, everyones been orgasming over 40%+ faster than the 980, wheres the piddly 29% come from ? :confused:

I don't understand that either...

Is the 980 with a 15 to 20% overclock

3000 cores @ 1-1.1ghz

Is the Titan X at stock.

According to those charts the Stock Titan X is 24 to 29% faster than the GTX 980, nothing wrong with that but they both overclock and 30% scaling from 50% more Shaders is exactly what you'd expect.

Its exactly what we saw with GK104 vs GK110 and its exactly what i have been saying, there is more to GPU's than just Shaders that make up its performance.

Gregster · 10 Mar 2015 at 18:52

I said 30% faster and I would be sold. Looks to me like it is at least that but with my abysmal math, I won't be trying to work it out
