NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X = GeForce GTX 980 × 1.5

Maxwell GM200: First GPU with 3k cores

GeForce GTX TITAN X will ship with full GM200 silicon, which sports 3072 CUDA cores, 192 Texture Mapping Units and 96 Raster Units.
The GPU is split into 6 Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs), each holding 4 SMMs. The full processor has 24 SMMs with 3072 cores in total. There are 6 memory controllers (each 64b wide), allowing 384-bit communication.
Simply put, GTX TITAN X has 50% more everything than GTX 980 *cough* but why does it not apply to the price?
The card is clocked at 1002 MHz, with boost clock of 1089 MHz. TITAN X is the second GeForce card (after TITAN Z) to arrive with 12GB frame buffer. The memory will run at 1753 MHz (7 GHz effective). The memory bus is 384-bit, which means it has the same bandwidth as TITAN BLACK (at this point I’m not sure why are we calling it black?).



GeForce GTX TITAN X power consumption and overclocking

We were told TITAN X has TDP of 250W (to be confirmed). It’s less than Radeon R9 290X, but much more than GTX 980. You will get 30-40% better performance with 85W higher consumption, is it worth it? Silly question, of course it is.
TITAN X overclocks rather easily to 1200 MHz (1280 MHz boost). The memory will run at 2000 MHz (8GHz effective), but make sure to check the reviews on Tuesday, which modules are these samples using. As far as I know, TITAN X may ship with Hynix, Samsung and Elpida memory. I will either update this post or make another if I know more.
Here’s a real photograph (render?) of GM200-400 GPU and real GM200 block diagram. We also have GPU-Z screenshot, but it’s from 0.8.1 version, which it shows wrong TMU count (256), so we decided not to post it.

Why can't they just limit vram sources to Hynix & Samsung? Having Elpida in a top product is so bad, I've had terrible OC experiences with those vram on my cards, they won't even OC a bit when Hynix does +500mhz!

"You will get 30-40% better performance with 85W higher consumption, is it worth it? Silly question, of course it is."

Silly question indeed. 250W TDP is perfectly acceptable for top end GPU, especially with such a large die size!

Allowing Elpida will keep the others more honest in their pricing. Also allows for any shortages the other two might have.

Possibly a bit of retribution for Hynix getting so cozy with AMD?

 

[el etro]

If you get Titan X at same core/mem clocks GTX 980 runs, you will reach easily 50% performance(maybe more) over GTX 980.

Considering how vindictive Nvidia can get, it wouldn't surprise me.

Uhh, you guys do realize Nvidia doesn't specify to AIB manufacturers which brand of VRAM they need to use, right? They simply have to follow the minimum specs allowed by Nvidia for the card. As for which manufacturer the AIB sources, probably has more to do with availability and cost for bulk supply.

That's not exactly new. Hynix and AMD developed GDDR also.

Titan X seems to be a remake of Titan, which is only one design, designed & approved by NV. We're not talking many different AIB models for other cards.

This is why going with Elpida on a premium product is... meh. Imagine you buy a Titan X with intent on OCs and you get the Elcrapa vram. *insert nerd rage table flipping meme*

 

[96Firebird]

If we're going by past cards, the original Titan (as well as Titan Black I'm assuming) only shipped with Samsung memory.

Edit - Looks like the Titan Black had Hynix chips.

Edit2 - Early board shots show Hynix memory on the Titan X as well...

I was just throwing possibilities out there. It's not like it was the only possible reason I gave. LOL

Between GM200 and 390/x, I'll get whichever has more pixel fillrate, bandwidth, and vram, for 4k. Atm it's looking in favour of AMD, especially if the price is right. My only doubts are CFX vs SLI support.

Regarding CF vs SLI you can be certain of these points:

1. GameWorks titles CF will be broken on release and probably for many months.
2. Otherwise CF will be just fine, even potentially smoother and better scaling at 4k.

So if you enjoy a lot of GameWorks title, definitely avoid AMD CF.

That's if you are fine with those tactics.

Isn't it AMD's fault? Why should NV help them optimize titles they sponsor?

AMD needs to get off its ass and actually invest more to improve their driver support so they won't look like fools every single time a GameWorks title is released.

It doesn't even make sense that AMD release their source for for Direct Compute Global Illumination & TressFX. Why are they helping their competitors optimize games that they sponsor?

What a useless article from videocardz.
We all knew that weeks ago

Because without compatibility between vendors PC gaming dies.

I barfed in my mouth a little reading this. You're either extremely short-sighted or in favor of an Nvidia monopoly.

 

[el etro]

Because 7Ghz 384-bit vram. So, performance can really get above 50% difference.

Can you elaborate? Maybe suggest a situation where it might provide greater performance than the 50% bandwidth increase suggests?

Do as you please but reality speaks louder than denials. Whatever NV is doing works whilst AMD fails.

I can't say with a straight face telling people to get AMD GPUs if they tell me they like the kinds of games that GameWorks got covered.

See the recent [H] benchmark of the 980? Demolishes the R290X by 25-50% in GameWorks titles while using heaps less power, especially OC vs OC.

Exactly my point.Early last year i have recommanded many people to AMD R9 series but 2014 fall and 2015 starting is totally a different story.Seeing upcoming games like Project Cars, GTA V, The Witcher 3, Batman Arkham Knight and MGS Phantom of Pain and logically for these games i will never suggest to buy AMD GPUs for this because normal people know that AMD will perform poor in these games.

Supporting that practice is very short sighted as it's hurting the consumer.

Short as in many years now, ever since TWIMTBP & now GameWorks?

It's not going to change with Titan X. Even if 390X is 10% faster overall (like the R290X is 10% slower overall vs 980), if sites review with lots of GameWorks title, its a blow out, a major decisive victory for NV, we're talking 25-50% here, not small margins.

Witcher 3 & GTA are very big deals. The former because it is the next benchmark in graphics and the latter because its insanely popular. If Titan X ends up 25-50% faster in those games, GG. NV will see that GameWorks works wonders and will put more resources (which they have, AMD does not) and expand it greatly, then lots of future AAA games will be GameWorks... yeah, sucks for an AMD user.

I've been boycotting many GameWorks titles of late due to NV's practice, but Witcher 3 is definitely something I want to play & enjoy fully.
