Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X

[Snederevac1]

Nvidia showed serious confidence in GeForce GTX Titan X when the company shipped over one card 

and one monitor—an Acer XB280HK bprz—the first G-Sync-equipped 4K display. Does Nvidia expect its new single-GPU flagship to drive a 3840x2160 resolution with performance to spare? How cool would that be? My little Tiki, tucked out of sight, would plow through the most taxing games at Ultra HD. Oh lawdy. And here I thought I’d be stuck at 2560x1440 forever.

 

 

The 980 didn’t get us to a point where one graphics processor could handle the demands of 4K at enthusiast-class detail levels. But the GeForce GTX Titan X is based on GM200, composed of eight billion transistors. Eight. Billion. That’s almost three billion more than the GeForce GTX 980’s GM204 and one billion more than GK110, the original GeForce GTX Titan’s cornerstone.

 

In their final form, those transistors manifest as a 601mm² piece of silicon, which is about nine percent larger than GK110. The GM200 GPU is manufactured on the same 28nm high-k metal gate process, so this is simply a larger, more complex chip. And yet it’s rated for the same 250W maximum board power. With higher clock rates. And twice as much memory. Superficially, the math seems off. But it isn’t
