Speaking
at a gathering of deep learning experts at Stanford University, Nvidia
CEO Jen-Hsun Huang confirmed that the company will be launching a new
flagship Titan series graphics card based on the same new Pascal
architecture as the recent GeForce GTX 1080, 1070 and 1060 GPUs. The new
card will be called Nvidia Titan X, apparently dropping the GeForce
branding for the first time since the Titan series debuted. It will be
priced at an incredible $1200 (approximately Rs. 80,515 before taxes and
duties) and will be targeted not only at the world's most demanding
gamers, but also at researchers and corporations developing tools for
deep learning and artificial intelligence.
Architectural details
are light at the moment. Nvidia has not confirmed the codename of the
new GPU, which is undoubtedly larger than the GP104 which both the GTX
1080 and GTX 1070 are based on. The new Titan X has 12 billion
transistors in the form of 3,584 programmable CUDA cores. It runs at up
to 1.53GHz and can achieve throughput of 11 Teraflops. It will also have
12GB of high-speed GDDR5X memory on a 384-bit wide bus resulting in
480GBps of memory bandwidth.
Nvidia claims performance is 60
percent faster than the previous GeForce GTX Titan X. Maximum power draw
is rated at 250W through one 8-pin and one 6-pin PCIe connector. The
card itself is a standard 10.5 inches long and uses a beefier version of
the vapour-chamber cooler that the GeForce GTX 1080 Founders' Edition
uses.
The Titan X will support all architectural features that
were announced at the time of the GTX 1080 launch, including
simultaneous multi-projection, which allows the GPU to render the same
frame from multiple perspectives within a single pass rather than
requiring multiple passes for each. This is highly useful for VR and
multi-monitor applications. Nvidia's Ansel tool for high-quality in-game
screenshots is also supported.
The Titan X will also support
two-way SLI using Nvidia's new high-bandwidth bridge, in keeping with
the company's new strategy restricting it to high-end cards. Display
outputs will include DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0b, and dual-link DVI-D.
The
new Nvidia Titan X will go on sale in the US on August 2, with global
availability to follow. It will be available only through Nvidia's own
website and a handful of authorised system builders.
