00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.799
so we've only just peeled our protective plastic off the new GTX 1080s and

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:11.559
revealed the fact that we had the baddest graphics card on the Block when

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:16.160
bam NVIDIA hits us upside the freaking head with its new flagship the Pascal

00:00:13.799 --> 00:00:21.480
based Titan X like a salmon that suddenly flies out of the river and just

00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:23.519
smacks you right in the face indeed the

00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:28.320
timing of the release was so soon after that 1080 that so many of us were

00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:32.640
surprised but we were able to get our hands on one just before it could swim

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

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:43.720
dealing

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:49.719
with Intel skull Canyon Nook features a

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:54.359
sixth generation core i7 processor and Thunderbolt 3 learn more at the link in

00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:58.680
the video description so the tit NP is loaded with awesome new features

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:04.760
including USB 2.0 support the ability to burn things onto a CD and full Y2K

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:09.320
compliance wait what okay well not really but many people have decided to

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:13.799
call the new Titan X the XP with P standing for Pascal to distinguish it

00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:19.080
from the older Titan X which was based on the Maxwell architecture I'm not

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:23.520
exactly sure why NVIDIA recycled the name maybe they decided that the letter

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

00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:32.600
that that's not the only similarity to the Maxwell Titan X as the two cards

00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:37.200
look quite alike with their black cooler shroud however the Titan XP does have a

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:41.439
bit of an updated aesthetic carrying over the angular look from the rest of

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:46.960
the GeForce 10 series as well as a smoother plastic finish and the full

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:49.799
titan X name proudly displayed on the

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

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:58.560
of the blower style fan instead of black

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

00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:07.039
has a slightly more premium look than its predecessor but of course that's a

00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:13.879
matter of taste for connectivity you get one HDMI 2.0b port one dual link dvii

00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:19.239
three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors meaning you can output an 8K 60 HZ

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

00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:30.200
connector which supports the new high bandwidth s Bridges you'll need one 8

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

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:41.640
talk about the heart of this monster the gp102 GPU which continues with the

00:02:38.519 --> 00:02:44.319
GeForce 10 theme of lower numbered gpus

00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:50.560
being more powerful although the Titan X's GP 102 runs at a slightly lower

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:57.000
boost clock than a 1080 it makes up for this with a whopping 3584 Cuda course

00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:59.080
over a th000 more than the 1080 perhaps

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:05.840
a little surprisingly this still isn't even the final form for the gp102 as the

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:08.480
Titan XP has some of the GP 102's Cuda

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:13.280
cor disabled you'll need to pick up the new Quadro

00:03:09.959 --> 00:03:14.799
p6000 if you want the full fat gp102

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:18.799
experience but of course that isn't going to matter much unless you're doing

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:25.280
something like rendering the sequel to James Cameron's Avatar as the Titan XP

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:27.640
is an insanely powerful card in its own

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

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:38.680
gddr5x with a bandwidth of 480 GB per

00:03:35.720 --> 00:03:43.760
second we still don't have hbm2 but this vram configuration makes this card

00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:49.280
firmly aimed at GPU Computing more specifically NVIDIA is marketing the

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:51.680
Titan XP as a deep learning card in case

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:56.280
you're unaware deep learning is somewhat of a recent buzzword for using

00:03:54.040 --> 00:04:01.560
artificial neural networks to solve complex problems using lots of virtual

00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:07.079
nodes that perform calculations in layers Loosely modeled on how our brains

00:04:04.239 --> 00:04:12.680
work kind of sort of Highly parallelized chips like the gp102 that contain tons

00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:17.199
of compute cores are quite good for this type of work which has applications and

00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:22.280
everything from language and facial recognition to the life sciences to

00:04:20.440 --> 00:04:27.680
helping driverless cars learn how to deal with obstacles and Hazards on the

00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:32.560
road which NVIDIA perhaps not coincidentally also are working on now I

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:37.440
know most of you aren't developing bioinformatics algorithms at home so

00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:44.520
let's talk about game performance instead the Titan XP Beats out the GTX

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:46.440
1080 by about 10 FPS or even more in

00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:52.120
every game that we tested firmly establishing it as the new heavyweight

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:56.039
champ but with a couple of caveats this

00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:57.800
still can't get always 60fps in 4k in

00:04:56.039 --> 00:05:01.560
every scenario with the settings completely cranked so if you've got a

00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:05.960
bunch of money burning a hole in your pocket for no apparent reason and you

00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:10.600
want to push that many frames to your 4k monitor at those unnecessary settings

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:17.639
you might be better off with two GTX 1080s and SLI especially as $1,200 us

00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:21.199
the Titan xp's new retail price is exactly about twice the price of a 1080

00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:25.520
now that's going to be give or take depending on your region but still it

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

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

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

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:44.240
or you want the extra vram for your ridiculous monitor setup that would

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:48.360
require that the Titan XP is definitely worth a look but if you just want extra

00:05:46.520 --> 00:05:54.440
gaming performance you'll almost certainly be better off waiting for the

00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:57.440
potential GTX 1080 TI in the previous

00:05:54.440 --> 00:06:00.520
generation the 980ti offered frame rates

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:03.360
very close to the original Titan X for a

00:06:00.520 --> 00:06:09.520
much lower price so if NVIDIA does roll out a 1080 TI somewhat soon it will

00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:11.840
likely be the green team's top-end card

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

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:21.080
if you have the money in your budget the Titan XP would be an incredible addition

00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:25.800
to Your Arsenal and would look even more impressive in your battle station than

00:06:23.599 --> 00:06:30.479
that Bliss wallpaper that came with Windows XP if you like this video like

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:35.120
it and get subs subscribed and if you dislike it stomp the everliving crap out

00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:39.400
of the dislike button just like repeatedly press it a lot until you get

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:43.520
really tired and then I think your point will probably get across by then if you

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

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

00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:57.000
down there somewhere and you can buy one of those if you want to talk about

00:06:54.960 --> 00:07:00.680
things you can go on the Forum and dock your heart away instead of clicking the

00:06:58.520 --> 00:07:04.199
dislike button for like hours you could ratat Tata Tata about your feelings as

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

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

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

00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.599
money you can pick one of these
