Nvidia unveils Titan X with 12 GB GDDR5X and 3,584 CUDA cores

Most people did not expect a new Geforce GTX Titan until the autumn, but at a presentation at Stanford University, Nvidia surprises by presenting the Titan X with the architecture Pascal. Perhaps a big surprise is that Nvidia deletes the prefix Geforce and GTX from the name of the new flagship.

The new Titan X is based around the GP102 graphics circuit with 3,584 CUDA cores and a clock frequency of 1,417 MHz at base and 1,531 MHz at boost, which gives a theoretical computing power of almost 11 TFLOPS or a little more than 60 percent over its predecessor Geforce GTX Titan X.

Like its predecessor, this model also has a full 12 GB of video memory. New is that Nvidia, like the Geforce GTX 1080, takes the step to GDDR5X, with an effective clock frequency of 10,000 MHz. Combined with a 384-bit memory bus, it provides a bandwidth of as much as 480 GB / s, which is just under 512 GB / s AMD has to offer with the HBM-equipped graphics circuit Fiji in Radeon R9 Fury X, R9 Fury and R9 Nano.

Nvidia does not specify full specifications for the graphics card, but based on how the Pascal architecture and the GP104 and GP106 circuits are structured, it should be 224 texture units and 96 raster units. The power consumption for the entire package lands at 250 W, which is fed over 8 + 6-pin PCI Express.

Judging by the images, Nvidia uses the same design language and cooling solution as for other Pascal-based graphics cards in Founder’s Edition design. Inside, it should thus be a steam chamber with associated cooling fins that is cooled by a radial fan, which is the case with the Geforce GTX 1080.

Nvidia Titan X will be launched on August 2 at a price of 1,200 USD, corresponding to approximately SEK 12,900 including VAT. The graphics card will only be available for ordering via Nvidia’s own website.
