TITAN X Announced For $1199, features 11TFLOPS, 60% Faster, 2nd August Launch

The monstrosity from Nvidia is here. Yet we thought that Nvidia’s GTX 1080 is a reckless GPU and forgot about the Titan lineup. Today, Nvidia announced their GTX Titan X which features big improvements over the Maxwell-based Titan. Nvidia claims this new GPU will be 60% faster than the last generation Titan X.

[ShadowKnight]

I wonder how much will the GTX 1080ti cost? 🤔hmmm

[FasterThanFTL1]

If there is one it won't be less than $799-$849 MSRP. But I don't think there will be a 1080 Ti this time around. And why should they release a GTX 1080 Ti when there is no AMD equivalent. AMD's Vega at best will probably have performance in the GTX 1070 to GTX 1080 range.

[GeeksULTD]

The RX 490 by AMD will most likely target Nvidia's GTX 1080, I would expect much a bump from them, just trade blows between both cards.

[freshslicepizza]

i think there will be a 1080Ti model and your pricing looks about right. it will come with 10gb of gddr5x ram.

[mikeslemonade]

Not sensible to call it a Titan X again.

[Unspoken]

No competition means we charge what we want. Let the price gouging commence.

[UltimateMaster]

Not really worth the purchase.
Then again this is really high end and it's not meant for the vast majority of customers.

[Ysmir6723]

800$

[Gaming_Cousin]

Wow what a monster

[GeeksULTD]

Yeah, comparing it as a single GPU is WHOA! DAMN 11TFLOPS. They have really gotten close to HBM1 here!

[Qdog]

Yeah thats quite a lot of power there, reminds me of the R9 295x2 with 11,466 Teraflops from the factory, but for a single GPU card to be competing with a dual GPU card at such a high level means the Titan is living up to its name.

[DarkHeroZX]

The R9 295x2 counts as two cards though. Remember it is 2 cards in a single form factor.

[Qdog]

Yes absolutely! I thought I stated as much.... Regardless, if DX12 really kicks off with its agnostic approach, its going to change a lot of perceptions on multi GPU performance, shared vram pool, multi brand support, asynchronous computing, etc.

[Jide]

Whoa

[GeeksULTD]

I can just imagine how much of that 44TFLOPs used for deep learning would be put to use. HMMMM

[TheColbertinator]

Gotta admit having so much power is daunting.

[GeeksULTD]

The Pro Duo has 16TFLOPs I guess

[ONESHOTV2]

wow so i think i was right when i said the 1080 ti was going to be 10 TFLOP with 10GB of video ram and it will be around 800-900$ well i hope i'm right becuase that's a good place to be i dont think i want to spend 1k on the titan x

[GeeksULTD]

Yeah I know, most people, even extra-ordinary hardcore gamers would likely go for the 1080 ti, let's hope it comes soon.

[ONESHOTV2]

that's true if they dont release it i may just go for the normal 1080 from EVGA i love their overclocking with the 970. i mean i dont really need to upgrade but if the 1080 ti do come out i have to get it

[DJ]

Hmph. Take that project Scorpio! (and Neo). Should be perfect my giant Maya scenes.

[GeeksULTD]

HAHA, in the end, the brawl would be about the pricing of them. Do consider that even if the scorpio costs $800 or around that figure, its a full system unlike the $1199 GPU only Titan X, where's the rest of the System.

On the other side, it seems remarkable breaking the boundaries of computing performance.

[DJ]

Oh it's a huge investment! No way MS or Sony could get away with a $1500 console. Though, never say never. Who knew there was a market for $300 headphones....

[GeeksULTD]

300? Have you seen the ones shown off at CES? I can't remember the price but its for Tens of Thousands of Dollars. Though I am pretty confident, MS is just taking a first time risk here with the Scorpio checking out if consoles gamers like an expensive and upgraded console

[DJ]

Oh shizzle! True, now I remember the gold apple watch as well. Yeah, it's smart of them to try and gauge the market before announcing price. I'm guessing $499 for Scorpio, $399 for the XBone S 2TB, etc.

[HallowedSoul1]

Lol spoiler alert console gamers don't like expensive hardware . Ps3 60gb badass model wouldnt have gotten downgraded so soon if they did.
Should note I was one of the few to buy the fat 60gb in Canada for 730 with tax at block buster but than again I have a 3000 dollar pc so I'm not just a cheap console only gamer.

[ninjazfistz]

@hallowedsoul1 That was true before. I agreed with you :) However, nowadays the enthusiasm of the console gamer might reach much higher. Especially to combat with how fast the PC market is growing. Personally I don't understand the need for expensive outdated unupgradable hardware. I would rather have a higher end PC and skip consoles if the affordable base model can't compete with the elite version in online multiplayer. The whole point of consoles up until now has been one model/one standard.

I guess we will see consoles imitate the PC world to the point where PCs should win in direct apples to apples comparisons. The only edge consoles will probably have is in exclusives, which better be amazing to justify the weaker selling points of a console.

[rainslacker]

Sadly, only 12GB or memory. For production, could make bigger scenes still load from system memory.:(

Still...12GB is better than what many cards get, so probably better if you want to fork over the cash.:)

[GeeksULTD]

That release date tho, DAMN that's just more than a week away. That's fast for sure!

[Salooh]

Finally !!!

Now i can play LOL at 1k fps.

[GeeksULTD]

Really? I am waiting to play Mario at 6k FPS XD HAHA

[Salooh]

They will never understand us :(.

[Tzuno]

Expensive and not for everyone, AMD took a different approach but hey some people have the money and they need the power of this card so why not.

[GeeksULTD]

That's the attitude we should see.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Different approach? I mean their best card currently is the 480, which the 1060 is the equivalent of.

[Tzuno]

AMD is targeting the mid class gaming and has better performance/price, rest assured AMD will not stop at 480

[Ysmir6723]

i have the money and i trade now 2 1080s for 1300 euro and i bought them 700...lucky me.

[mochachino]

Nvidia can release 4 cards hitting all markets and I can't even get news the 490.

AMD needs to step their game up.

[ninsigma]

Holy crap that's a beast! Well I won't be getting this one at that price anyway. Bring out the 1080 ti!!

[georgenancy]

all that power and no decent exclusives to play,shame really

[TXIDarkAvenger]

/s

[Psychotica]

Since most games are not exclusives, it's better to have something that can run them better than the small amount of exclusives out there. I also own a PS4 and the amount of worthwhile exclusives can be listed on one hand.

[Destiny1080]

theres more games then ever for pc gamers

http://imgur.com/bq1h8go

[Majister-Ludi]

Weird I'm currently playing quite a few games that aren't available on other platforms. It's funny how the pc community for the most part just plays games and enjoys themselves. It's only console only losers that get all sweaty over exclusives. News flash, hands down the weakest gen of console exclusives ever fact so troll harder.

[Str8Chaos74]

LOL so true. I have a PS4, barely touch it.

[starchild]

There are plenty of exclusives on PC. More importantly, though, is that there is simply a massive amount of GAMES to play on PC. Games that you can play with the best graphics and framerates, and with so much freedom to customize the experience to your liking.

[MasterCornholio]

Intense. But too expensive for me.

:(

The 1060 or 480 look good for me.

[Bobafret]

I feel MS may want to rethink only 6TFLOPS. By next year it may seem downright pedestrian in comparison with discreet GPUs.

[MasterCornholio]

How many console gamers are willing to pay for a console with an 11TF GPU?

PC hardware and console hardware are aimed at different markets.

[DragonDDark]

True but the ones that are weaker than the titan X will be cheaper anyways

[Zeref]

I think we'll see it being 8TFlops in the end. 6TFLOPS is the target but they want to get 4K 60Fps. I think they're gonna step it up a bit more. They have time to do it.

[rainslacker]

4-5TFlops is likely to become the mainstream "entry level" within the next couple years or so. Basically, what we see as min specs will probably be in the 4-5TFlop mark by 2018. Games will be made for close to that, so Scorpio should be able to hold it's own until at least 2020-2021.

To put it in perspective, the mainstream min spec for most games nowadays is less than the current consoles provide....around the 1-1.4TFlop mark for min settings. My 5 year old video card is just now starting to become out of date.

[24twelve]

I need four of these for Star Citizen.

[uth11]

How long before the PCMR types start claiming they have a pair of these in their rigs?

[hirobrotagonist]

And here I am engaging in peasantry with my 1080GTX...Don't talk to me about life..

[audiocafe]

you and me both man

[starchild]

No, man, you're still a nobleman with that card. ;)

[GreenUp]

Cool. It will be obsolete in 2 weeks and 3 days and 5 hours.

[VJGenova]

Not the #1 card, sure. Obsolete, far from it.

[GreenUp]

/sarcasm I know nobody understand sarcasm here on n4g but maybe I should start writing /sarcasm after everything. :D

[R6ex]

Consoles are obsolete the day they are released.

[VJGenova]

You could say something to me in the most sarcastic way possible and I will still take it literally. Runs in my family. My Dad once drove my brother and i from New England to Disney World. When we got back to school the following week, a kid asked my brother "did you drive down?" and he replied, "no, my Dad did." He was 12 at the time ...

[GreenUp]

Cool story bro.

[marioJP87]

And this is why console gaming will always seem underpowered. SMH

[Bobafret]

My car is underpowered compared to a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Supersport , yet it doesn't bother me.

[iceman06]

Wait...you don't have a Bugatti!?! Car peasant!!! 😄

[marioJP87]

Hey, don't take my comment the wrong way. I'm for yearly upgradable PC GPUs just like im for yearly updated android phone processors. It's the consoles who fall so far behind.

[Livecustoms]

lol $1200 ? yer im alright i've got better things to spend that type of money on lol. Nerds

[goldwyncq]

This is how powerful a next-gen console from Sony and Microsoft should be.

[Meltic]

Buying new cards now is just foolish. I tell you why in two ways.

1: They release new cards all the time, WAIT. Like 1080 just released, and a couple of weeks later BOOM TITAN X..
2: PC ports is shit nowadays so no need to upgrade if you got a 980 ti or higher.

[VJGenova]

1080ti if released ia a good 8 months away tho. 1180 probably a good 15-18 months. So depends. I would straight up trade my 2 980tis for 1 of these titans. The 1080 didn't even make me blink though.

[Meltic]

980 ti will be playable for a long time at 1080p ultra settings with all games easy, but for 4k and so on the titan is good. Im happy with 1080P 60 fps ultra gaming. There is program to downsample games nowadays to even 8k. Looks so Sharp !

[VJGenova]

I try to play new games at 4k, if possible. Some the performance isn't there but others run quite nice.

[starchild]

1. By that logic you would be waiting for forever and never actually get to enjoy anything. Buy the best option you can afford at the time you are ready to.

2. PC versions of multiplats are not crap. Mostly PC gamers with old, weak PCs who expect to play the most demanding games at 60fps on their crappy PCs are the ones who are always complaining and giving that impression. If you look at the performance of multiplats relative to those same games on console it's easy to see that the vast and overwhelming majority of games run perfectly fine on PC. Even games like Batman Arkham Knight, which has had the reputation of being a terrible port, runs very well on my PC and looks amazing.

Besides, your logic is strange. If PC versions were so terrible wouldn't that mean you need MORE power to run them at good framerates?

The truth is, multiplats on PC generally run the way they should according to the graphical quality and scale they each offer. But more powerful hardware is always useful to run the most demanding games with things like 4k resolution, 144fps, better image quality, mods, etc.

[The-rain-maker]

PlayStation 5 gonna be cra cra

[Wotbot]

Such a waste it's going into a PC, imagine if it was going into a console, then we would truly see what it was capable of doing.....lol

[R6ex]

Except, nobody will be buying one. LOL

[Stapleface]

Well, my 780ti is still doing fantastic at 1080p, but I'll be in the market for a 4k capable card at some point. I prefer a single card so this or the 1080ti when it's released...still waiting another year.

[DarkHeroZX]

Gonna grab 2 once MSI versions drop.

[ninjazfistz]

I'm be waiting for AMD to release a competitive card and hopefully the Nvidia cards prices drop too. But yea, will pick up an AMD. I don't like Nvidia's tactics and/or marketshare.

[DarkHeroZX]

I had the R9 390 and then the fury X. But AMD just doesn't cut it for me. Gonna switch it up for a while. And money is good right now so why not.

[ninjazfistz]

@DarkHeroZX what did you do with the old cards? Well what was wrong with AMD? I have a used gtx760 haven't used amd since they were ATI

[DarkHeroZX]

AMD wasn't bad at all. Very good cards. But power draw was massive, as well as heat.

[jjb1981]

I'm gonna wait for the Titan X ti. 😉

[audiocafe]

Beastly card, but I won't be buying it. I'm happy with my MSi 1080

[Artemidorus]

Makes the Xbox Scorpio look obsolete before it's even here!

[oSHINSAo]

i Wonder which developers are going to make 11TFlops games for just 5-10k gamers, to many effort and time/money

[Plagasx]

$1200. L . O . L
