1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:07,600
I feel bad for the guys over at NVIDIA PR and marketing I really do not because

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:11,559
of the recent 3 and a half gig gtx970 Fiasco not because of the hours that I

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:16,119
know they work based on when I get responses to my emails and not because

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,720
the hardware that it's their job to convince us to buy is particularly hard

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:24,080
to sell most of the time I feel bad for

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:29,359
the NVIDIA guys because it has got to be hard to keep finding more and more

7
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:34,200
creative ways to write reviewers guides and product pages that exist just to

8
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:39,960
communicate that this new thing we made is the world's fastest GPU again because

9
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:50,069
yes folks they've done it again this is the GTX Titan X the well world's fastest

10
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:58,280
GPU Corsair h8i GT and h100i GTX

11
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:04,280
all-in-one liquid coolers make your system run cooler and look better too

12
00:01:01,239 --> 00:01:07,080
click on this graphics card to learn

13
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:12,640
more let's start with the specs under the hood of the Titan X you'll find a

14
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:15,960
gm200 GPU the big brother to the Maxwell

15
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:19,040
architecture GM 204 that powers the GTX

16
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:21,560
980 and 970 so you've probably guessed

17
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:27,079
by now that the Titan X is also Maxwell based but when I said big brother I

18
00:01:24,119 --> 00:01:31,159
really meant big the Titan X packs a whopping 8 billion transistors running

19
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:39,439
at a base clock clock of 1 GHz with typical boost speeds around 1075 MHz 372

20
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:41,399
Cuda 12 gigs of gddr5 memory yeah I said

21
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:45,320
12 gigs although that'll be more relevant for computational applications

22
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:50,119
and 3D rendering with large models than gaming for the foreseeable future

23
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:53,200
running at 7 GHz and connected via a

24
00:01:50,119 --> 00:01:55,479
384bit bus just like the original Titan

25
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,920
and Titan black and that's not the only thing it has in common with the original

26
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:04,719
Titan I mean I wonder whose job it is at NVIDIA to design the reference coolers

27
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:10,440
does he actually do any work anymore cuz this one with its copper Vapor chamber

28
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:12,480
aluminum fins and aluminum shroud looks

29
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:16,480
just like the old one I mean maybe there was like an incident a couple of years

30
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:20,319
ago where he like bumped into Jensen in the cafeteria and Spilled soup down the

31
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,879
front of his shirt so they actually laid the guy off and then in a fit of anger

32
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:28,160
he took the blueprints for their metal shroud stock cooler so all they can do

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,920
now is make slight tweaks to the color scheme every time which okay no sorry I

34
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:36,280
don't actually think that's what happened and at any rate the color

35
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,440
scheme tweak is probably all that this excellent design needed to look even

36
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:44,800
more awesome anyway but I still wouldn't have been too disappointed to see a bit

37
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:49,040
of a a refresh with a brand new top-of-the-line card the good news

38
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,879
though is that the looks of a graphics card should probably be the last thing

39
00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:58,080
you're considering when buying it and the Titan X has got it where it counts

40
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:03,879
gen 3 PCIe 16x connectivity at the bottom dual PCIe power connectors one

41
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:05,879
six pin and one8 pin at the top and a 6

42
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:13,920
plus 2phase power delivery designed to handle the card's 250 wat TDP or 275 wat

43
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:18,040
power limit with it set to 110% in your favorite overclocking utility it's got

44
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,200
two SLI connectors at the top to enable up to four-way configurations which in

45
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,599
my mind is probably the only way you're going to get enough horsepower to

46
00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:30,439
justify the 12 gig frame buffer for gaming and the rear IO takes a page from

47
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:38,319
the rest of its Maxwell family members with dvii HDMI 2.0 for up to 4K 60 HZ

48
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:41,200
displays and triple DisplayPort 1.2

49
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:46,799
ports for 5K displays like Dell's fancy pants up2715k that we checked out

50
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,360
recently here and Surround 4K monitors

51
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:53,319
oh yeah and they're all compatible with g-sync as well and of course the other

52
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,720
new Maxwell features that will be making their way into games over the next

53
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:02,760
couple of years are also present here vxgi NVIDIA's fancy voxal based

54
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:06,360
real-time lighting technology mfaa they're Handy Dandy and automatically

55
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,599
applied through GeForce experience anti-aliasing technique that delivers

56
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:15,400
very similar results to msaa at a smaller performance hit and there's some

57
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:20,400
new stuff like physx which okay physx isn't new but the CPU based

58
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:24,440
implementations went open source which what NVIDIA what is this doing in my

59
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:30,880
Titan X reviewers guide this supports the GPU Paths of physx just fine moving

60
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,360
on ah you you want me to talk about VR

61
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:38,720
features that I can do even though gaming head-mounted display products

62
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:42,320
like Oculus is rift and HTC and valves

63
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,440
Vive are coming later this year whatever

64
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:49,360
that means NVIDIA is hard at work reducing the latency between the frame

65
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:55,080
being rendered and displayed on your hmd to reduce motion sickness including a

66
00:04:52,039 --> 00:04:57,759
new SLI mode that allows presumably this

67
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:01,720
works with two gpus one GPU to render the left eye image and the second to

68
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:06,320
render the right eye image dramatically improving performance and the

69
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:11,479
awesomeness in theory doesn't end there because we haven't even talked about

70
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:14,080
overclocked performance of this beast

71
00:05:11,479 --> 00:05:18,479
and for that I will hand off to Luke but I got a feeling this going to be good

72
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:22,880
and it is good this card slams the competition in terms of single GPU Pure

73
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:28,960
Performance and it was able to achieve clearly higher minimum maximum and

74
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:34,199
average FPS in all the games we tested if you're wondering about its 12 GB of

75
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:39,479
vram well Shadow Mordor with ultra textures on was able to use about 6.4 GB

76
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:43,520
of the stuff but we will need to push it even harder to see more utilization here

77
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:49,240
in terms of overclocking this is a pretty interesting card that 250 to 275

78
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:54,840
watt TDP results in a card that really pushes NVIDIA's heat SN design under

79
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:57,280
load I was hitting around almost 400

80
00:05:54,840 --> 00:06:03,639
watts from the wall in terms of power and around 83 to 86° C with the fan on

81
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:07,880
auto so it's pretty hot but that's not all it's super power hungry as well the

82
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:12,160
first limit I hit was temperature shortly afterwards after a little

83
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:17,560
tweaking as well I also hit power and voltage limits and in the end I was able

84
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,000
to land somewhere around 1375 to 1393

85
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:24,199
MHz and NVIDIA expects you to get around, 1400 MHz so you may be able to

86
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:28,360
get a little bit more out of your Titan X on your own one of the big factors

87
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:32,360
that may have played into my slightly lower clock speed is the room I was

88
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:37,720
testing in was at a fairly balmy ambient temperature of 28° C I'm really hoping

89
00:06:35,479 --> 00:06:41,199
someone makes a really beefy aftermarket Cooling and power solution for this GPU

90
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,360
I would really like to see what the Titan X is capable of when it's not

91
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,160
hitting voltage power and Thermo limits

92
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:52,560
all over the freaking place maybe hooking up to phase change could even be

93
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:57,759
a little fun in terms of price per performance this may not be the best

94
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:00,120
value card out there if you but if you want to just Crush things with a single

95
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:05,520
card this may be the ticket let me know over on the Forum if you'd like to see more

96
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:10,199
titanex videos and what they should be about maybe an SLI Showdown against

97
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:14,720
maybe dual 980s or maybe some Subzero cooling with a phase change I don't know

98
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:19,319
let me know anyways back to you lonus speaking of cool things or the Forum or

99
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:24,280
whatever he was talking about our friends over at cherro have recently

100
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:31,120
released a couple of new Dan board products that look pretty D

101
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:33,479
compelling oh that's awful these are the

102
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:39,440
Dan board block 34200 milliamp batteries two products

103
00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:45,599
that address one of the major concerns about their previous Dan board products

104
00:07:42,039 --> 00:07:47,280
the form factor these are super thin

105
00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:54,960
devices so they're much more likely to be able to fit into things with the

106
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:57,039
block and plate at about 0.5 in and4 in

107
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:00,120
thick respectively of course they still feature all the same safety measures

108
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:04,680
like overcharge protection that we're used to seeing on churro products but do

109
00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:09,039
so at a size that is much easier to fit in your pocket oh and they also want us

110
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:14,080
to show off the uh new Revel tech danboard mini figure which could add a

111
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:17,560
bit of cute Dan board flare to your desk

112
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:19,639
at work or uh at home or your GTX Titan

113
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:23,560
X isn't that adorable look at it go on there it's so

114
00:08:22,039 --> 00:08:27,000
cute anyway check out the link in the video description for more info on all

115
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:34,599
of this good stuff from our friends over at chiro so there you have it the Titan

116
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,839
X is well the fastest GPU in the world

117
00:08:34,599 --> 00:08:41,039
congrats NVIDIA you've done it again no wonder you were more focused on putting

118
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:44,680
chips in cars at CES this year at least then people will congratulate you for

119
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,800
you know something different for a change well even if you're bored of

120
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:52,360
building fast graphics cards over and over again I for one appreciate it and

121
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,519
as much as I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time with this GPU I'm

122
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:01,519
looking forward even more to the next rabbit that you guys pull out of your

123
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:02,920
hat keep on Trucking guys so that's it

124
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:06,680
guys like this video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a

125
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,360
comment uh hopefully on the Forum Linked In the video description if your

126
00:09:07,959 --> 00:09:13,360
feelings are more complicated than that you want to interact with our community also linked in the video description

127
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,760
we've got a place where you can give us a contribution you can buy a cool t-shirt like this one you can change

128
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:21,880
your Amazon bookmark to one with our affiliate codes So when you buy your shiny new Titan X we get a small

129
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,360
Kickback that kind of thing helps us out a lot um I think that's pretty much it

130
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:31,399
right we have other channels Channel Super Fun Techquickie don't forget to subscribe slf follow and all that good
