Less than a month ago, Nvidia launched its graphics card Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, which was quickly found to perform on a par with the previous flagship Titan X (Pascal), but at a greatly reduced price. Now the company is introducing the next part of the Titan saga, which is once again said to take the performance throne as the fastest graphics card in the world with a single graphics processor.

The new worsting card goes by the name Titan XP and among the main issues is the full-scale version of Nvidia’s graphics processor GP102. This means a total of 3,840 CUDA cores accompanied by 240 texture units and 96 raster units.
The card’s clock frequencies have also received a slight boost, where the nominal turbo frequency is now specified at 1,582 MHz – an increase of 51 MHz from its predecessor. Combined with the increased number of CUDA cores, it gives a theoretical computing power of 12,149 GFLOPS, an increase of 7 percent compared to Titan X.
In addition, the newcomer has inherited the faster type of GDDR5X memory that Nvidia equipped the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti with. However, the company does not stop there, but also takes care to turn up the frequency of the memory to a full 11,400 MHz, that is, 400 MHz higher than the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti.
This results in a final theoretical memory bandwidth of 547.7 GB / s, well above the predecessor Titan X (Pascal) which is at 480 GB / s. Nvidia Titan XP is available today and is only sold through the company website. The price tag is set at SEK 13,400 including VAT.
