Nvidia has launched Titan X – a graphics card with superpowers – Tek.no

Nvidia has over the last couple of months released several new graphics cards based on its new Pascal architecture, including GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 and GTX 1060.

Now the company has unveiled his most powerful cards: Nvidia Titan X with Pascal architecture.

it was not really expecting that Nvidia would launch the new Titan X card until the autumn, but during a lecture on artificial intelligence at Stanford University surprised Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang all of launch the new card – and also by giving away some cards to some of them that were in place.

11 teraflops and 12 billion transistors

According to a blog post from Nvidia started it all with Brian Kelleher, one of Nvidia’s top commanders in hardware design, signed pledges to Huang that they were going to torture more than 10 teraflops (trillion floating point operations per second).

“Jen-Hsun owe now Brian one US dollar,” writes Nvidia’s marketing manager Matt Wuebbling blog post.

The new GPU has namely a capacity of less than 11 teraflops and contains a total of 3584 CUDA- cores at 1.53 GHz. Overall, we are talking about 12 billion transistors.

60 percent faster than the previous generation

Previous generation Titan X had 3072 cores at 1.08 GHz, and according to Nvidia, the new model will be up to 60 percent faster. The graphics card will have 12 GB of GDDR5X memory with a bandwidth of 480 Gbit / s.

In the new model has also Nvidia dropped both Geforce- and GTX designations. The card is called only Nvidia Titan X.

Titan X will be available on August 2 at a price of $ 1,200 – ie over 10 000. Norwegian price is not known.
