Nvidia Geforce GTX Titan – Test

About a year ago, Nvidia released the Kepler architecture, which forms the basis of the Geforce GTX 600 series. Pretty soon it became clear that the flagship GK104 was not the full-fledged version of the circuit but a slimmed-down model primarily intended for games and entertainment.

The “real” Kepler is instead the GK110, a graphics processor that later appeared in the Tesla K20. However, these computing cards lack all that is called video outputs and are instead intended for supercomputers and data centers. The massive computing power is used, among other things, in the world’s fastest supercomputer: Cray Titan at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the USA.

Now the GK110 is released in the consumer market in the form of Geforce GTX Titan, which is named after the supercomputer of the same name. With 7.1 billion transistors, this is the largest and most powerful processor that has ever set foot in a gaming graphics card. Now it’s finally time to see if the Geforce GTX Titan lives up to the sky-high expectations!
