Nvidia is one of the best GPU manufacturers in the world. They had released their GTX 980 last year and it was the fastest single GPU on the market till now. They are consecutively shocking the world with their outstanding pieces of engineering. Recently, Nvidia CEO announced some specs of the GTX Titan X which surprised the whole world. Today, Nvidia have outclassed themselves by unveiling a card that even puts the monstrous GTX 980 to shame. The GTX Titan X was fully unveiled a few hours ago. Now that we know the official specs of the Titan X, there is only one thing to say, it's a powerhouse.
The Titan X has exceeded everyone's expectations and has set a new bar for GPUs. It is flat out a behemoth and it is now the fastest GPU on earth. The specs inside the Titan X is insane. It is based on Nvidia's GM200 Maxwell architecture which is supposedly the successor to the GM204 architecture found on the GTX 980.

The card has an out of this world transistor count of 8 billion. The reference model has a base clock speed of 1 GHz. and boost clock speeds up to 1075 MHz. It comes with a whopping 3072 CUDA cores. And 12 GB. of inhumanly big amount of GDDR5 memory. 12GB. GDDR5 memory on a single card, that seriously astonished the whole world. So, not just gaming, even 3D rendering and other high end graphics work will be no problem for this card. The memory clock speed of the reference model is set at 7 GHz. The card has a 384-bit memory interface which is quite impressive and it's the same seen on the previous 'Titan' series cards. The card has 336.5 GB/s memory bandwidth. Physically, the card looks a lot like the previous "Titan" cards and it's pretty similar to almost all of the high end Nvidia cards.
A single six pin and a single eight pin power connectors will be required for this card. As expected the Maxwell architecture is incredibly power efficient, the card has a TDP of 250W. which is really not that much considering the amount of power inside. The card also has great overclocking capabilities , but I doubt if anyone if anyone would ever need to overclocked this monster. Two SLI connectors are located at the top and this card allows up to 4-way SLI. The card does come will all the Maxwell exclusive gaming features like VXGI, MFAA and G-Sync. The Titan X is highly optimized for VR (Virtual Reality) devices like Oculus Rift. It reduces the latency between a frame to be rendered and displayed. It has new features like VR SLI for which you will need two GPUs and the Titan X takes VR gaming to a whole new level. As mentioned earlier, the overclocking capabilities of this beast is outstanding and in gaming in annihilates the competition. It destroys other GPUs in gaming and benchmarks with much higher frame rates than today's most high end GPUs. This card is more than capable of 4k gaming and even 5k and multi-monitor gaming. So, at the end of the day, Nvidia has done it again. This card is without a doubt the fastest single GPU money can buy. The card is priced at $999 which is a premium price to pay but every penny is worth it. So, if you have a big budget and you need raw performance, then look no further, this is the ultimate choice for you.
