NVIDIA TITAN X (Pascal): Overview | Specs | Is it good for gaming? (Recommend Power supply for system is 600W) – NVIDIA TITAN X (Pascal) is NVIDIA’s ultimate graphics accelerator model released in 2016. The video card processor is based on the new Pascal architecture, the first example of which was the GeForce GTX 1080 model, released in the same year, but a little earlier. The revolutionary microarchitecture Pascal brought a new 16-nanometer process technology, which significantly increased the performance of video cards, but at the same time reduced their power consumption. And if, when reviewing the past Maxwell graphics architecture, we noted a big step forward in terms of performance + power consumption, today NVIDIA has made not just a step, but a big leap in this direction.
