Just a couple of weeks ago, Nvidia dropped the surprise announcement of the new Titan X, based on the new Pascal architecture equipped with 3584 CUDA Cores, 11 TFLOPS of compute power and 12GB of GDDR5X VRAM. Today, this monstrous graphics card officially launched, meaning you can now buy one … if you can afford it.
Unlike past Titan GPUs, the new Pascal-based Titan X will only be available directly through Nvidia’s online store, so you won’t be able to find an Asus, EVGA or MSI version, nor will you be able to officially buy from other retailers like SCAN or OCUK. It also looks like many reviewers haven’t got their hands on samples yet so benchmarks might not be here for a bit longer.
The new Titan X will be available from today. We already know that the card will launch at $1200 in the US. Meanwhile, here in the UK, the card will set you back £1099, or around €1300-€1350 in other European countries.
While we don’t have benchmarks just yet, Nvidia is pitching the new Titan X as 60 percent faster than the previous Maxwell-powered version.

KitGuru Says: The new Pascal Titan X is shaping up to be quite the power house judging by its specifications. However, it would have been nice to see some launch day reviews. I for one would like to see how this card handles 4K gaming. Are any of you currently running a Titan? Would you upgrade to the latest version?
I can’t say much as far as overall performance, but if early numbers are accurate, it’s one hell of an overclocker:

All things considering, hexus is pretty damned conservative at the best of times on their OC’s, so that’s really good for a stock cooler. I know EVGA are working on a hybrid solution for the card, even though they won’t be selling the card itself. Might truly make it a monster, albeit a ludicrously expensive one.
Where did you get it, the image
Folks chomping at the bit for benches are lurking around sites for any image uploads before the reviews go live, this is one of a few that’s made it out, though the 1st I’ve seen with OC numbers on it. Obviously until there’s full reviews out there, you have to take everything with a grain of salt. That particular one is from hexus.net.
Either way, I don’t think the price is justified, but lack of competition at the high end/enthusiast level lets them gouge a bit I guess :/
Can you give me a link, I want to view some more 🙂
Did they only release one benchmark
There isn’t one, their review isn’t finished/public yet. people are just datamining any and every review site they can to grab benches. Give em time, they’ll show up.

They’re keeping an updated list of benchmarks/reviews.
General consensus: 30-35% faster than a 1080 FE, ~25-28% faster than a good aftermarket 1080 (strix/evga ftw). Overclocking is limited to power limit atm, voltage currently locked. That said, it’s a far better OC’er over its base clocks compared to the 1080, reaching boost clocks of ~2ghz with the fan profile @ 50% and power limit @ 120%. This pushes its benches relative to a stock 1080 FE to near 50% ahead.
When (IF!) voltage is tweakable in the future, this thing could be a beast under watercooling. EKWB has a block being releases in about 2 weeks, and evga are working on a titan x-pascal hybrid cooler aswell, so there’ll be aftermarket water options for both pros and rich amateurs alike.
