NVIDIA Presents the TITAN RTX 24GB Graphics Card at $2,499
NVIDIA today introduced NVIDIA TITAN RTX , the world's most powerful desktop GPU, providing massive performance for AI research, data science and creative applications. Driven by the new NVIDIA Turing architecture, TITAN RTX - dubbed T-Rex - delivers 130 teraflops of deep learning performance and 11 GigaRays of ray-tracing performance.
"Turing is NVIDIA's biggest advance in a decade - fusing shaders, ray tracing, and deep learning to reinvent the GPU," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "The introduction of T-Rex puts Turing within reach of millions of the most demanding PC users - developers, scientists and content creators."
Ultimate PC GPU
NVIDIA's greatest leap since the invention of the CUDA GPU in 2006 and the result of more than 10,000 engineering-years of effort, Turing features new RT Cores to accelerate ray tracing, plus new multi-precision Tensor Cores for AI training and inferencing. These two engines - along with more powerful compute and enhanced rasterization - enable capabilities that will transform the work of millions of developers, designers and artists across multiple industries.
Designed for a variety of computationally demanding applications, TITAN RTX provides an unbeatable combination of AI, real-time ray-traced graphics, next-gen virtual reality and high performance computing. It delivers:
TITAN RTX transforms the PC into a supercomputer for AI researchers and developers. TITAN RTX provides multi-precision Turing Tensor Cores for breakthrough performance from FP32, FP16, INT8 and INT4, allowing faster training and inference of neural networks. It offers twice the memory capacity of previous generation TITAN GPUs, along with NVLink to allow researchers to experiment with larger neural networks and data sets.
Perfect for Data Scientists
A powerful tool for data scientists, TITAN RTX accelerates data analytics with RAPIDS. RAPIDS open-source libraries integrate seamlessly with the world's most popular data science workflows to speed up machine learning.
Content Creators Create Their Best Work
TITAN RTX brings the power of real-time ray tracing and AI to creative applications, so 5 million PC-based creators can iterate faster. It also delivers the computational horsepower and memory bandwidth needed for real-time 8K video editing.
Available This Month
TITAN RTX will be available later this month in the U.S. and Europe for $2,499.

I'm pretty sure it has this Hawaii card beat:
www.scan.co.uk/products/16gb-amd-firepro-w9100-pcie-30-(x16)-512-bit-gddr5-930mhz-gpu-6x-minidp-stereo-graphics-4096x2160-re
- It only has 144 FP64 cores vs. 2560 of its own predecessor, the TITAN V, which is based on the V100 MCM
- It lacks Quadro-like certifications for many Adobe and Autodesk applications (no serious studio would buy this over Quadro RTX 6000 even if the latter costs 2.5x more)
- The only area where it works normally is AI and DLNN networks, but then it has no unique features vs. 2080 Ti, only a slightly higher tensor core count (576 vs. 544). Any AI researcher with natural intelligence would buy two 2080 Ti cards for $2.5k (1088 tensor cores)
This is just an e-penis gaming card so enthusiasts can get that single-digit percentage gain in OC leaderboards over those using 2080 Ti.+20% performance over 2080 Ti for +150% price.
96 ROPs and 288 TMUs doesn't scream "compute" to me either.
How people want to twist it is on them. :)
NVIDIA deliberately omitted "gaming" from its marketing, and tasked its "pro graphics" division to handle this card's sales, as an elaborate strategy to target just one group of consumers: e-penis seekers or leaderboard toppers, who wouldn't mind spending 2x the price of a 2080 Ti to stay on top of leaderboards. If it called this a "gaming" card, the PC DIY media would have heaped bad press for its atrocious pricing. This is also why after Maxwell, NVIDIA dropped "GeForce" from the TITAN branding. AI researchers would be suckers to buy this card instead of two 2080 Ti.
I don't think anyone is complaining about the performance of the cards but the performance gains of the RTX cards are just not big enough compared to the price increase.
In the previous generations you see a cheaper gpu outperforming a higher priced and higher tier GPU of the previous gen:
GTX 970 faster than GTX 780
GTX 1070 in many cases faster than gtx 980Ti and clearly faster than gtx 980
both of the xx70 cards cost much less than the X80/X80ti cards of the previous gen
with Turing you are paying the same or close to the msrps of the previous higher tier cards
with the 2080ti essentially becoming a GTX Titan class card while creating a whole new class of super expensive Titan cards
Price to performance isn't good. At all. We get that (over and over and over). But again, Its a Titan. Nobody expects it to have that. The rest of the line, a different story. A dissapointment on that front for sure. I don't think anyone disagrees with that sentiment...
...preaching to the choir... etc.What? Workstation level cards don't need cooled too? That is a peculiar talking point...Are there any NVIDIA branded blower RTX cards or all AICs?
RE: The second paragraph, that is your opinion on it and I respect that. We disagree (except your last sentence that is the better 'deal' but only for DP uses). It is just that simple.
nobody is absolutely right everyone has their own opinions and interpretations :D
I am sure there are those who are absolutely stoked on the rtx cards, remember that "just buy it" article? :D
So in essence it isn't aimed at gamers like the Titan/Titan Black/Titan X cards were or at professionals like the Titan V is. It's aimed at people with lots of money who want something that exists purely to show off how much money they have. Meh, could get a 2080ti gold plated for less xD
2. It is rumored to have 15% gains just by hardware according to Anandtech. Assuming that is true, 15% is pretty noticeable... in fact that difference is close to an entire tier of card. But gaming isn't its primary function anyway.
3. Its a crossover card and helps (heh) with market segmentation.
And with AMD not even trying to go beyond 2070, it will only get better.

They also aren't a monopoly, AMD does indeed sell GPU's, albeit of lesser performance at least at this time to nVidias top offering, and so does intel (iGPU). Because you can't afford the nicer product, that does not mean a company should be forced to sell it a lower cost, or as some have suggested "broken up".
We need regulation, but you really don't want to live in a country where the government forces price structure on companies
Workstations are for the most part relatively silent, at least for an office environment.
