NVIDIA Titan X Pascal 12 GB

[0x4452]

>Actual 3D performance gained from overclocking is 7.9%.

Using the brown bar, it is 19.3%, which is impressive. It seems all Pascals so far consistently hit >2050 MHz.

My 1070 runs at 2062 MHz max, with the power slider to the max. (but I did see a couple snow flakes ) Anyway, I run mine at 90% power limit for 2-3% perf loss. Seems a good trade off for me until games get more demanding.

Damn, NVIDIA needs to get their stock cooler sorted out, anything that throttles at stock is not acceptable, and it's even worse for Titan X Pascal because there won't be any third-party designs. For $ 1,200 you really should be getting watercooling bundled with this beast.

Double post for those that will moan about Vulkan not being there:

Or Ashes

Buh buh buh NVIDIA doesn't have async *sound of AMD fanboys crying*

 

[nem..]

doublé of Price but not bouble of perf.

this thing is on fire ! Literally

 

[Dethroy]

That's correct

Worst offenders:
Battlefield 3
Fallout 4
Hitman

At this point I'd probably abandon 1600 x 900 altogether (in 7 out of 15 games the card is bottlenecked by the CPU/engine).

pointless card, ridiculous price. the next ti will make this card irrelevant, if the people that can buy this can wait for 3 months.. also, what a shitty cooler for 1200$ wtf?!!!!

 

[newconroer]

Look at that Nvidia releases a monster card at a monster price and the stock cooler proves to be a heavy limiting factor well unless your okay with 100% fan speeds and loud noise. Custom water being the only option here... I have a feeling many will wait on the 1080Ti.

It will probably never come ; really what is the point?

See above comment.

At last, the definitive review.

Now I'll go and read it...

It's a bumpy ride being on the cutting edge with Nvidia. I just upgraded to a 1080 and now I feel inept due to my inability to max-settings-and-res my 4k TV like I could with this card. I could sell my 1080 and get this, but I think I'll make two car payments instead.

See above comment.

so.. 200$+ for water cooling assuming one has a wc loop in place, that makes this card 1400 and that is ridiculous. also what do you mean "it will never come"??? have you seen nvidias history? after every titan comes a ti which is 95% as good for half the price, so, whats the point of this card again?

also.. this.

[Dethroy]

btw even if someone gave 2 of these i would sell them and build an excellent pc with the money.

And here I thought you were the $ReaPeR$ ...

Anyways, maybe we should stop the soothsaying and instead focus on the here and now.

 

[dante`afk]

what about sli 1080 vs titan x?

hehehehe in the here and now this is the bleeding edge of performance, but, shouldnt one keep in mind the very near future when shoving up this amount of money? idk.. i am biased towards smart buys.. :/ this card is for people that dont care about such petty things like money.. and they can always afford extravagance..

 

[Moofachuka]

So next year's gtx 1170 will be as fast as this Titan X? Nice!

 

[Darksoviet]

Excuse me, why not use NTX compare with FuryX CF or ProDuo?

 

[Caring1]

I have a feeling SLI 1070 would beat this in a lot of games, and be a lot cheaper.

Edit: Now that I've had time to read the review, I feel some of the power consumption figures are incorrect.
Peak should always be higher than maximum, yet the figures say otherwise for some cards.

 

[Grings]

Nice card, ruined by a blower cooler that cant cope, like the rest of the reference pascals

Shame as its reference only, so no partners will release one with a sensible dual/tri fan cooler

 

[dyonoctis]

At least Nvidia managed to show the world that he still own the gpu maker crown. I think that Vega will only be 27% faster than the current Fury x, making it a competitor for the 1070. Meaning that the best gpu AMD can do, can't touch a cut down nvidia GPU. I don't think that nvidia will give a damn about async before many years since it doesn't really hurt them right now.

 

[buggalugs]

So you gotta pay 90% more dollars for 30% more performance and you have to put up with a throttled card and noisy cooler??

No thanks.....and we still cant game properly at 4K so the card doesnt have much long term value.

Someone will probably make an aftermarket air cooler for this so you could eliminate the throttling and noise without using water but still.....

 

[btarunr]

Excuse me, why not use NTX compare with FuryX CF or ProDuo?

Because we don't have those cards.

 

[the54thvoid]

Because we don't have those cards.

That and TPU doesn't bench single cards against crossfire. The old 295x2 is gone though but I suppose that's getting long in the tooth. I'd love to see it benched against a Pro Duo mind...

 

[beck24]

Awesome over clocked performance.
Put a water.block on it and it is perfect!Power efficiency is impressive.
Forget multi gpu especially Crossfire the stuttering mess.
1080ti would be great if it ever comes.
Gpu progress just dwarfs cpu the last few years.

 

[techy1]

Dude, you live in Greece, grab a couple... someone in Germany can pay for them.

I just logged in to give Like to this

The emphasis on the crappy stock cooler and throttling leading to performance loss is why I trust TPU reviews over the others. @W1zzard nice one. The couple of other reviews I read either said it didn't happen or glossed over it this important issue.

NVIDIA is clearly taking the piss with this card and its lack of competition from AMD. Not only is $1200 outrageous, but they can't even be bothered to put a proper cooler on it that can handle the heat and work quietly. At that price it's a ripoff. They then compound it by preventing any non-reference models from being made and shutting out their AIBs. No wonder this company gets criticised a lot for their business practices. This is why I reckon a "GTX 1080 Ti" that allows this will eventually come out, although I wouldn't bank on it.

The only thing I disagree with on TPU's review is the rating: I would have rated it lower, something like 8.0 or 8.2 mainly due to the crappy cooler and the pricing. Otherwise the card is awesome and everything one would expect from Pascal.

 

[Ubersonic]

What a beast, I will wait for the 1080ti purely because I don't want the noise of a reference cooler but DAMN! that some impressive numbers.

Would be interesting to see somebody slap an Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme III on one of these and see what it can really do with a decent air cooler.

But wait, isn't TPU an anti-AMD bias site and that W1zzard person an NVIDIA paid shill?
