Our review samples came direct from Nvidia.
While I don't often focus on packaging, I have to admit that I do like how Nvidia send out their reference samples – The Titan X is presented in a beautifully effective black box with the card slotted into a base.
This is how the Nvidia Titan Black should have looked. Nvidia have built this card on a black PCB, with some minor silver accenting to highlight the fan and brand name. It is a beautifully effective looking card design, although I have always thought the Nvidia reference cards were leagues ahead of AMD, in regards to appearance anyway. Sadly no backplate on the card, which is a little disappointing on such a premium board.
It goes without saying, this is a two slot solution. Dimensions are 270mm by 110mm.
The Nvidia Titan X is SLi capable – in 2,3 and 4 way configurations. It takes power from a six pin and eight pin connector.
The card ships with a single DVI port, one HDMI 2.0 port (with HD audio and Blu-Ray 3D movie support), and three DisplayPorts. The move to predominately Displayport connectivity is inevitable and welcomed. If you wish, you can use all these ports at the same time for triple monitor gaming.
The reference Titan cards are always cooled by a single fan, as shown above. This fan spins and forces hot air out the rear of the case.
The reference cooler is not going to match the best custom coolers by Nvidia partners, but we have always found them to be reasonably quiet, and capable performers. More analysis of the cooling solution later in the review.
An overview of the hardware in the latest version of GPUz – as discussed on the previous page. The GM200 core runs at 1,000mhz (1,076mhz boost) and is built on the 28nm process. There are 96 ROPs, 192 Texture units and 3,072 CUDA Cores. The whopping 12GB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1753mhz (7Gbps effective) and is connected via a 384 bit memory interface.
The only conclusion I can reach after reading this article, is that AMD’s 295×2 is a badass deal

man… The Titan X SLI makes no sense to me nvm the the Titan X alone “double precision processing capabilities” that was the whole marketing campaign for the Original titan.. Now the Titan is for gamers?? Still doesn’t perform well performance/price ratio. It’s ridiculous.. 2 Titan X sli only beating the 295×2 (year and a half old architecture” buy 10 frames?? $689 vs $2000? That’s pretty pathetic. Unfortunately for me I will be skipping this gen (the first time I will skip a gen 5800ultra)..This is why I don’t take reviews serious anymore from any website (I understand You get paid for this but you guys talk this up when you actually can see this makes no sense.
Not all compute workloads demand double precision. It is definitely marketed as a gaming card, but it is also marketed as a compute card. It truly is a single precision compute monster, and this is the main reason for the 12 GB of RAM, I think. The Quadro M6000 does not have more double precision performance than the Titan X. It is still FP64 at 1/32 FP32. It has ECC RAM, however.
Dude in 4k the titanx sli beats the 295×2 by at least 16 fps. Not looking at the 31 fps differnece in tomb raider 4k. Plus, ur looking at the 295×2 a year after it launched. Lets take a trip back to the day it was launched. It was 1500$ . so dont get modest about it now and say amd isnt a money sucking company. Both amd and Nvidia are. It is just how business runs nowadays. Yes the titanx doesnt justify the money. But when did the extreme enthusiasts products ever do? The intel 5960x doesnt justify the money. The 9590 from amd didnt justify the price/performance ratio when it launched for 800$. The 290x when launched was 700$. Water cooling doesnt justify the money compared to air cooling. I hope everyone sees this comment To change the obsolete logic that amd is a company that cares about people’s wallets and nvidia is a company that eat ur wallet. Noo, amd is just like nvidia.
Another Luxury vdeocard for the bloody rich
And still, there’s something that proves you wrong: R9 295X2 CrossFire
Yet, people are snatching the $1000.00 card up…
I hate it when peasants comment on things they can’t afford. lol.
