so we've only just peeled our protective plastic off the new GTX 1080s and
revealed the fact that we had the baddest graphics card on the Block when
bam NVIDIA hits us upside the freaking head with its new flagship the Pascal
based Titan X like a salmon that suddenly flies out of the river and just
smacks you right in the face indeed the
timing of the release was so soon after that 1080 that so many of us were
surprised but we were able to get our hands on one just before it could swim
away so let's put it through its paces and see just what kind of a beast we're
dealing
with Intel skull Canyon Nook features a
sixth generation core i7 processor and Thunderbolt 3 learn more at the link in
the video description so the tit NP is loaded with awesome new features
including USB 2.0 support the ability to burn things onto a CD and full Y2K
compliance wait what okay well not really but many people have decided to
call the new Titan X the XP with P standing for Pascal to distinguish it
from the older Titan X which was based on the Maxwell architecture I'm not
exactly sure why NVIDIA recycled the name maybe they decided that the letter
X was just too good of a hype train for them to get off of I mean I understand
that that's not the only similarity to the Maxwell Titan X as the two cards
look quite alike with their black cooler shroud however the Titan XP does have a
bit of an updated aesthetic carrying over the angular look from the rest of
the GeForce 10 series as well as a smoother plastic finish and the full
titan X name proudly displayed on the
left side you also get a metal finish on both the heat sink fins and the center
of the blower style fan instead of black
as well as a back plate which was absent on the original overall I think the card
has a slightly more premium look than its predecessor but of course that's a
matter of taste for connectivity you get one HDMI 2.0b port one dual link dvii
three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors meaning you can output an 8K 60 HZ
signal if you've got something like a multi 4K setup then there's also an SLI
connector which supports the new high bandwidth s Bridges you'll need one 8
Pin and one six pin power connector to power said Titan XP as well but let's
talk about the heart of this monster the gp102 GPU which continues with the
GeForce 10 theme of lower numbered gpus
being more powerful although the Titan X's GP 102 runs at a slightly lower
boost clock than a 1080 it makes up for this with a whopping 3584 Cuda course
over a th000 more than the 1080 perhaps
a little surprisingly this still isn't even the final form for the gp102 as the
Titan XP has some of the GP 102's Cuda
cor disabled you'll need to pick up the new Quadro
p6000 if you want the full fat gp102
experience but of course that isn't going to matter much unless you're doing
something like rendering the sequel to James Cameron's Avatar as the Titan XP
is an insanely powerful card in its own
right like the Maxwell Titan X you get 12 GB of vram but this is the faster
gddr5x with a bandwidth of 480 GB per
second we still don't have hbm2 but this vram configuration makes this card
firmly aimed at GPU Computing more specifically NVIDIA is marketing the
Titan XP as a deep learning card in case
you're unaware deep learning is somewhat of a recent buzzword for using
artificial neural networks to solve complex problems using lots of virtual
nodes that perform calculations in layers Loosely modeled on how our brains
work kind of sort of Highly parallelized chips like the gp102 that contain tons
of compute cores are quite good for this type of work which has applications and
everything from language and facial recognition to the life sciences to
helping driverless cars learn how to deal with obstacles and Hazards on the
road which NVIDIA perhaps not coincidentally also are working on now I
know most of you aren't developing bioinformatics algorithms at home so
let's talk about game performance instead the Titan XP Beats out the GTX
1080 by about 10 FPS or even more in
every game that we tested firmly establishing it as the new heavyweight
champ but with a couple of caveats this
still can't get always 60fps in 4k in
every scenario with the settings completely cranked so if you've got a
bunch of money burning a hole in your pocket for no apparent reason and you
want to push that many frames to your 4k monitor at those unnecessary settings
you might be better off with two GTX 1080s and SLI especially as $1,200 us
the Titan xp's new retail price is exactly about twice the price of a 1080
now that's going to be give or take depending on your region but still it
isn't the best bang for the buck card in terms of frame rates and I don't think
anyone expected it to be with the name of Titan that isn't to say that the Titan XP
doesn't have its place if you're more of a prosumer who does GP GPU stuff at home
or you want the extra vram for your ridiculous monitor setup that would
require that the Titan XP is definitely worth a look but if you just want extra
gaming performance you'll almost certainly be better off waiting for the
potential GTX 1080 TI in the previous
generation the 980ti offered frame rates
very close to the original Titan X for a
much lower price so if NVIDIA does roll out a 1080 TI somewhat soon it will
likely be the green team's top-end card
of choice for nearly all PC Gamers that want to spend a whack ton of money but
if you have the money in your budget the Titan XP would be an incredible addition
to Your Arsenal and would look even more impressive in your battle station than
that Bliss wallpaper that came with Windows XP if you like this video like
it and get subs subscribed and if you dislike it stomp the everliving crap out
of the dislike button just like repeatedly press it a lot until you get
really tired and then I think your point will probably get across by then if you
want to buy some stuff that you saw in this video go to Amazon and do that if
you want to get a shirt you can also click a link in the video description down below like the Amazon one that is
down there somewhere and you can buy one of those if you want to talk about
things you can go on the Forum and dock your heart away instead of clicking the
dislike button for like hours you could ratat Tata Tata about your feelings as
well also if you want to see another video check out this one it's our GTX
1080 review a card that is probably much more value than the GTX or the Titan X
even though it's still really expensive so if you just got to spend a bunch of
money you can pick one of these
