1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,799
so we've only just peeled our protective plastic off the new GTX 1080s and

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:11,559
revealed the fact that we had the baddest graphics card on the Block when

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:16,160
bam NVIDIA hits us upside the freaking head with its new flagship the Pascal

4
00:00:13,799 --> 00:00:21,480
based Titan X like a salmon that suddenly flies out of the river and just

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:23,519
smacks you right in the face indeed the

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:28,320
timing of the release was so soon after that 1080 that so many of us were

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:32,640
surprised but we were able to get our hands on one just before it could swim

8
00:00:30,279 --> 00:00:36,660
away so let's put it through its paces and see just what kind of a beast we're

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:43,720
dealing

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:49,719
with Intel skull Canyon Nook features a

11
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:54,359
sixth generation core i7 processor and Thunderbolt 3 learn more at the link in

12
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:58,680
the video description so the tit NP is loaded with awesome new features

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:04,760
including USB 2.0 support the ability to burn things onto a CD and full Y2K

14
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:09,320
compliance wait what okay well not really but many people have decided to

15
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:13,799
call the new Titan X the XP with P standing for Pascal to distinguish it

16
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:19,080
from the older Titan X which was based on the Maxwell architecture I'm not

17
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:23,520
exactly sure why NVIDIA recycled the name maybe they decided that the letter

18
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:28,040
X was just too good of a hype train for them to get off of I mean I understand

19
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:32,600
that that's not the only similarity to the Maxwell Titan X as the two cards

20
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:37,200
look quite alike with their black cooler shroud however the Titan XP does have a

21
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,439
bit of an updated aesthetic carrying over the angular look from the rest of

22
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:46,960
the GeForce 10 series as well as a smoother plastic finish and the full

23
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,799
titan X name proudly displayed on the

24
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:55,640
left side you also get a metal finish on both the heat sink fins and the center

25
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:58,560
of the blower style fan instead of black

26
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:02,759
as well as a back plate which was absent on the original overall I think the card

27
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:07,039
has a slightly more premium look than its predecessor but of course that's a

28
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:13,879
matter of taste for connectivity you get one HDMI 2.0b port one dual link dvii

29
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:19,239
three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors meaning you can output an 8K 60 HZ

30
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:24,560
signal if you've got something like a multi 4K setup then there's also an SLI

31
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:30,200
connector which supports the new high bandwidth s Bridges you'll need one 8

32
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:35,680
Pin and one six pin power connector to power said Titan XP as well but let's

33
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:41,640
talk about the heart of this monster the gp102 GPU which continues with the

34
00:02:38,519 --> 00:02:44,319
GeForce 10 theme of lower numbered gpus

35
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:50,560
being more powerful although the Titan X's GP 102 runs at a slightly lower

36
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:57,000
boost clock than a 1080 it makes up for this with a whopping 3584 Cuda course

37
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,080
over a th000 more than the 1080 perhaps

38
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:05,840
a little surprisingly this still isn't even the final form for the gp102 as the

39
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:08,480
Titan XP has some of the GP 102's Cuda

40
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:13,280
cor disabled you'll need to pick up the new Quadro

41
00:03:09,959 --> 00:03:14,799
p6000 if you want the full fat gp102

42
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,799
experience but of course that isn't going to matter much unless you're doing

43
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:25,280
something like rendering the sequel to James Cameron's Avatar as the Titan XP

44
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,640
is an insanely powerful card in its own

45
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:35,720
right like the Maxwell Titan X you get 12 GB of vram but this is the faster

46
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:38,680
gddr5x with a bandwidth of 480 GB per

47
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:43,760
second we still don't have hbm2 but this vram configuration makes this card

48
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:49,280
firmly aimed at GPU Computing more specifically NVIDIA is marketing the

49
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:51,680
Titan XP as a deep learning card in case

50
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:56,280
you're unaware deep learning is somewhat of a recent buzzword for using

51
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:01,560
artificial neural networks to solve complex problems using lots of virtual

52
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:07,079
nodes that perform calculations in layers Loosely modeled on how our brains

53
00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:12,680
work kind of sort of Highly parallelized chips like the gp102 that contain tons

54
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:17,199
of compute cores are quite good for this type of work which has applications and

55
00:04:15,079 --> 00:04:22,280
everything from language and facial recognition to the life sciences to

56
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:27,680
helping driverless cars learn how to deal with obstacles and Hazards on the

57
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:32,560
road which NVIDIA perhaps not coincidentally also are working on now I

58
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,440
know most of you aren't developing bioinformatics algorithms at home so

59
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:44,520
let's talk about game performance instead the Titan XP Beats out the GTX

60
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,440
1080 by about 10 FPS or even more in

61
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:52,120
every game that we tested firmly establishing it as the new heavyweight

62
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:56,039
champ but with a couple of caveats this

63
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:57,800
still can't get always 60fps in 4k in

64
00:04:56,039 --> 00:05:01,560
every scenario with the settings completely cranked so if you've got a

65
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:05,960
bunch of money burning a hole in your pocket for no apparent reason and you

66
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:10,600
want to push that many frames to your 4k monitor at those unnecessary settings

67
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:17,639
you might be better off with two GTX 1080s and SLI especially as $1,200 us

68
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,199
the Titan xp's new retail price is exactly about twice the price of a 1080

69
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,520
now that's going to be give or take depending on your region but still it

70
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:29,240
isn't the best bang for the buck card in terms of frame rates and I don't think

71
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,840
anyone expected it to be with the name of Titan that isn't to say that the Titan XP

72
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:39,680
doesn't have its place if you're more of a prosumer who does GP GPU stuff at home

73
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:44,240
or you want the extra vram for your ridiculous monitor setup that would

74
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:48,360
require that the Titan XP is definitely worth a look but if you just want extra

75
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:54,440
gaming performance you'll almost certainly be better off waiting for the

76
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:57,440
potential GTX 1080 TI in the previous

77
00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:00,520
generation the 980ti offered frame rates

78
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:03,360
very close to the original Titan X for a

79
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:09,520
much lower price so if NVIDIA does roll out a 1080 TI somewhat soon it will

80
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,840
likely be the green team's top-end card

81
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:16,520
of choice for nearly all PC Gamers that want to spend a whack ton of money but

82
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:21,080
if you have the money in your budget the Titan XP would be an incredible addition

83
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:25,800
to Your Arsenal and would look even more impressive in your battle station than

84
00:06:23,599 --> 00:06:30,479
that Bliss wallpaper that came with Windows XP if you like this video like

85
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:35,120
it and get subs subscribed and if you dislike it stomp the everliving crap out

86
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:39,400
of the dislike button just like repeatedly press it a lot until you get

87
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,520
really tired and then I think your point will probably get across by then if you

88
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:48,080
want to buy some stuff that you saw in this video go to Amazon and do that if

89
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:53,240
you want to get a shirt you can also click a link in the video description down below like the Amazon one that is

90
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:57,000
down there somewhere and you can buy one of those if you want to talk about

91
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,680
things you can go on the Forum and dock your heart away instead of clicking the

92
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:04,199
dislike button for like hours you could ratat Tata Tata about your feelings as

93
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:08,520
well also if you want to see another video check out this one it's our GTX

94
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:15,400
1080 review a card that is probably much more value than the GTX or the Titan X

95
00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:21,599
even though it's still really expensive so if you just got to spend a bunch of

96
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,599
money you can pick one of these
