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.

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!
