Did nvidia make an announcement about oculus rift? I know you said that in the video. But, is this official or just speculation? Thanks for the awesome videos!!
elric , first i hope you are feeling better! great to see you back, secondly on the side of the titan-z was that a third pci-e connecter i noticed? you can see the pins on the pcb? all the best
What I see most reviewers do is pick their comparison cards based on a tiered system. For instance 980 reviews were always compared with 970, 960, and equivelant AMD cards. I have always wanted to see someone compare against older cards, like I want to see how my 780 stacks up against the modern cards, or even the 670 in my other machine. It would be nice to know if it is worth upgrading at all as opposed to just picking a new card.
Casual Alien I agree seeing older hardware in benchmark reviews are nice, But if it helps you at all, use videocardbenchmark.net as a reference for any gpu. Seeing the average score of your 780 compared to the average score of the Titan X should give you a relative idea on performance differences. I think the most important part of reviews such as this one is to give consumers an idea on which GPU on sale today is the best price/performance for our individual needs. There are hundreds of older cards, so it is impossible to benchmark them all. But there are a handful of newer cards, so those should be the priority in reviews.
Casual Alien Yeah, and some still do that. It really falls down to what cards they still have laying around though, and usually, they have a lot of the current cards coming in for review so it's much easier to stick to those. I'm with you though especially on the CPU side because most people wait longer on upgrading CPU's I would think. I still use my old Q6600 in my wife's computer, and I always am curious how a 970 would do on that old CPU compared to how a 970 does on a modern CPU. I don't expect that out of reviews, but I love it when such reviews come out.
Casual Alien I agree with you. I'm still running the gtx 285. ( yes i know) but it still plays all fine up to todays. I dunno if i can mention steaming on twitch with while playing in Hd but i do not see any fps lost. Maybe because of my 8 core. I'm not sure. But the gtx 285 still hold up pretty strong now a days. I think so at least. ( in 1080p games at least from 2013 a 2014) so ye.. thats surpringly well.
I have this card for game developing and just recently upgraded to Titan Z both are STRICTLY for game developing these babies so me three months worth of my job. Love your PC like a child.
Just bought a Titan X for video & 3d work, but OF COURSE the first thing I'm doing is playing RUclips reviews in the background while I install Witcher 3 to try it out all maxed out. Of course.
Not bad card but too much power supply 250w, GTX 980 160w and the fps in BF4 only 9-12 fps more sorry but TITAN X is not good card at least for people that dont want to spend 1000$ ... and what about GTX 980 TI ???
Its your dad Titan is a diferent serie but yes is pretty much a gtx 980ti=titan but I expect better performace and low power consumption, this card dont deserve this high price I really hope the GTX 980 can down the price now.
***** this card isn't directly designed for gaming, the 12gb frame buffer will be utilised more in programs like cuda, just wait for amd to bring their cards out or nvidia for the next generation can't get much better on the 28nm
***** I don't see what is wrong with high power consumption as long as it performs well and it does! But i do agree that it's overpriced along with 980, when AMD comes out with 300 series, i;m sure the prices will drop.
inflik He said CARD not SINGLE GPU, I pointed out that the graphics CARD R9 295x2 which is a DUAL GPU beats the graphics CARD Titan X. Single GPU wise it is currently the fastest, but not the fastest graphics card...
I think it is very wasteful and stupid to buy a card when it first releases, right now you can get 270's and 770 ti's at around 100 dollars, sometimes high end 150. To me if waiting a few months would translate to a huge price cut, then hell yeah I would wait. There is nothing that can really max this thing yet, maybe a few games with mods to crank the V-ram, but thats about it.
Bottom line.... Flagship cards should be MADE SPECIFICALLY 4k ultra settings @60fps!!! Not this sandbagging BS !!! 4k has been around long enough that these "FLAGSHIP CARDS" should be crushing it !!! That also goes with AMD as well I'm not singling out Nvidia. I'm just tired of companies holding out. I want to get back into PC gaming but tired of the BS
60fps max 4k takes at least four $750+ GPU cards which is at least 2.5k at least so asking to have a flagship card that could do that would make it extremely big and expensive and considering this card can almost do it You're asking Too much
Kidwoohda who lied to you? in case you didnt know, 2 asus OC 970 editions, in sli, will give all games ultra settings 4k 60fps with ease....thats no more than 700 dollars worth of cards.... 750×4? for 4k? no sir...
Also man they haven't had many true 4K monitors that can do past 60 fps without some overclocking on the monitor. There probably is a monitor out that can do it but I'd wait, some monitors haven't been on the market long enough and have some noticeable issues(dead pixels,etc). I wouldn't upgrade to 4k unless it's on a screen size bigger than 40" for a home-theater build/gaming rig and I know there's no 4K display that can run 60+fps for a TV yet.
Kidwoohda Asking to much??? I think you expect to little !!! They don't hit 60fps cause they know the suckers will buy 2 cards period. And that is BS !!!
I really wish that he would just test all his games on ultra not medium. If a card can't handle Ultra on games I'd like to know. Such as Crysis 3 & Metro LL
***** they will never destroy their line... those who want performance will simply buy nvidia's cards and that's how it is. And a thing about temps and power usage Recently a friend of mine bought a new pc... and when he had to decide between r9 280x and 960 sc he had to go with GTX because 600W psu wasnt enought for the stupid r9 280x and you also need a prety good case for the r9 because of its insane temps (80+ °C). If he wanted r9 he would have to buy 750W psu or something instead of CX 600m or even 1000W for crossfire, while you are fine with 750-850 W for SLI. Think about it... instead of 100 you throw 200+€ just for PSU (or 180 vs 300 if going SLI) Their cards might cost less but you will need a freaking 1000W PSU and decent case to run that thing.... so at the end you rather buy GTX with more fancy functions, lower temps, good drivers and so on but they rape you in the ass with their prices If AMD could get back in the game so nvidia would have to lower their prices ...that would be great
600w not enough for a R9 280x ? That's absolute bullshit, I have at R9 280 with a 520w psu with no issues. And the temps aren't 80+ degrees, mine stays at 29C idle and rarely goes above 65C on load. Ps my case is a corsair air 240 and It only has 2 fans in it, nothing crazy
***** Ok guys (for all of you who argued with me) I went ever all the forums and found out that 4 fried 600w psu's could be a total bullshit and psu recommendations for r9 280x saying you need 750w are total bullshit. I apologize for single card PSU shitstorm. If you accept my apology for making a mistake or not... in reality it doesn't matter... the one who got fucked for listening to forums was my friend and eventually me. I still believe in current Nvidia's supreme performance (which also doesn't matter)... at the end it makes no difference i guess. One time you are better of buying AMD and other time from Nvidia. Have fun, another sorry.
Slight correction about vxgi: A lot of lighting is already done on the fly in the game and not pre-rendered, but vxgi will be able to render large scene's to look like something approximating real life or ray-traced environments. (ray-tracing is currently the most realistic way to render lighting but it takes massive amounts of time to render a single image and simply cannot be done in real-time.) Without vxgi we have very limited shapes to light environments up with, but with vxgi, light can look like it spreads realistically from its source through the game's geometry. That's all :) Nice video, Elric!
Hey Elric! I'm probably your newest subscriber by the moment I'm writing! Loved the channel, many helpful videos. I wanted to know your opinion on External GPU Docks for laptops or if you ever did a video on those, because I couldn't find it. And believe me I looked for it as I saw a lot of your videos! Keep up the good work!
Apologize for what Elric? From what I can see from other tech channels, you did by far the most extensive testing with like every big game title. Big thumbs up for you!
Elric, you don't have to apologize for anything. It's understandable you wanted to get something out while the iron is hot. I personally wasn't feeling you were missing anything. Good cards to compare and a variety of resolutions/settings. Thanks for the vid and look forward to seeing the next set benchmarks.
New subscriber and great review! I'm one of the silly gamers, alluded to your Titan Z review, that put one in my new Falcon Northwest. I'd love to see a Z vs. X review now that the cost of the Z has dropped so far. Is there any reason to presume the Z won't be able to handle the Oculus Rift when it comes out? Thanks!
I just received my Titan X 2 days ago and, no word of a lie, with a slight overclock (to 1345mhz), I was getting up to 60fps @ 4k on ultimate settings on Crysis 3 (it would drop to 45fps at times, but no complaining here!) Mind you, I was using FXAA and not MSAA. But this card is a BEAST! This was on a single Titan X!
When you thought that technology couldn't go further :). Sadly I can't afford this :( I'm in 9th grade now and when I start school again in the fall I will start on an sailing academy and the goal is to be able to sail in the Olympics and I have really been inspired by people like Elrik that always tend to have their mood up even if life is taught. Thanks for the video and keep your videos going!
If anything benchmark, i was new tot he gaming world just 4x months ago and i build the following system : - i7 4790K stock 4.0Ghz - Asus Z97-A -16 Gb G.Skill 2400Mhz - Samsung Evo 250Gb SSD - 2x GTX 970 MSi Gaming 4G (SLI) Since the 3.5Gb fiasco and i could feel it in advanced warfare (Manhunt mission), i decided i would wait before selling the 2x cards and see what single or dual gpu would be worth for. I play at 1920x1200 mostly. I took all from different website like techpowerup or Guru3D. Now please consider this : Crysis 3 - Very High quality + FXAA will give on : 1) R9 295x2 : 81 fps 2) 970 SLI : 96 fps 3) Titan Z : 95 fps 4) 780Ti SLI: 81 fps 5) 980 SLI : 109 fps Now i just need benchmark of the titan X for this game.
Crazy card. Good review i know you blasted this out fast but benchmark graphs would be awesome instead of just regular text. Can't wait for more PC stuff! GJ!
The card is really one step ahead of what we got today but really...i get disappointed to realise that software is WAY ahead of hardware. Games being capped because a $999 graphics card cant run 4k games at a steady 60fps. We see insanely beautiful tech demos everywhere, but they can't be applied to current games just because the GPUs can't keep up. Come on, we are even seeing 8k TVs being released and we cant even play 4k at 60fps without spending outrageous amounts of money on a sli/crossfire system. Anyway, sorry if it seems like im trash talking or trolling. Its just that every new "big" GPU announcement gets me hyped, just to see that it is, in action, just a few fps above what we already got. Thanks for keeping us informed on the new techs. Thumbs up for the video!
Great video man. Can't wait to see the results of the 295x2 thrown in the mix. Any chance of a Titan X SLI video in the future? Just for the plane insanity and also why the fuck not lol.
Tech of Tomorrow I heard that PCI-E 2.0 will limit the bandwidth of the Titan X. Heard anything about that? Although nobody will be crazy enough to use this beast on a pci-e 2.0 motherboard, what are your thoughts? Did the card reach the limit of bandwidth that the pci-e offers?...
A lot of reviewers are saying that the AIB vendors are going to offer their own versions... but they aren't. Nvidia will not allow non-reference cooled versions to be sold complete. The most the vendors can do is include their own cooler in the box for you to attach yourself. Oh and BTW your videos looking fookin awesome at 60FPS man.
Will go with GTX Titan X in sli, then I can play at 4k with no struggle. One card can do it aslo but I want some extra power becasue some games are to heavy to drive with one single gpu. Now I just need to wait on asus to release ROG Swift PG27AQ, (4k,60hz,27",IPS with g-sync) The dream is real!
Erik Andersson I would start a business or something with that money. That would be a much better investment, especially if you've worked hard for it during two years. Dunno, use something like 10K to start something and set the remaining 2K to buy a mid- to high-end PC. Just my two cents.
The Pascal 1000 Series cards that are coming are going to be really good. Because the 900 series cards we have today are actually the 800's renamed to 900. We are skipping a generation going from 800 to 1000
George Harding Just checked newegg the r9 295x2 is $689.99 (not counting the $30 rebate, as they're a nightmare waiting to happen). Comparisons tend to be made on price rather than how many gpu cores a card has anyway.
George Harding The Titan X and the 295x2 are around the same price. But bang for the buck will be dependent on what game you are playing as some titles don't play nice with dual GPU set ups.
BlueFoxTV How can you say they're about the same price when you can get a brand new 295x2 for $689.99? A difference of $310 isn't "around the same price". All of the Titan series cards are among the worst "bang for the buck" graphics cards because of their insane price tags. Of course there's more than just gaming to them, but this is from a gaming perspective.
3DMark Fire Strike Titan X i think is an better option than 2x Sli of 980 or 780 2x 980 sli =15671 --2x Power comsuption (in reference of 1x 980) vs 1x Titan X =14107 1.5x Power Comsuption (in reference of 1x 980)
Hopefully someone can help me with this question. Okay I am a noob with computer hardware and I am getting a new gaming pc I would like to know if it would be best to get either: 1 Amd Radeon 8GB R9 259X2 or 2/3 Nvidia Geforce GTX Titan X. This is based just on running games on the highest settings and their FPS. Please answer if you think you know what would be best for me thanks.
Excellent review. I decided to upgrade my PC with a Titan X and 32 GB of RAM. My wallet is screaming in pain, but it's worth it because my PC is good for another 3 years. I won't even look at another GPU until Volta comes out in 2018 :)
It's been more than 4 years and we are still on 28nm, wait till Nvidia switch to 16nm with Volta and directX 12. I think Maxwell is still a stop-gap measure comparing to whats to come next year.
Elric, why where most of the 1440p benchmarks at medium settings? Surely Ultra would have being a better representation of the cards performance? Thanks for the review though. :)
The Titan cards are only made by nvidia as the Titan Z was. It would be nice if nvidia would let the other companies release their own version of the Titan X but I doubt it.
Would you do reviews of quadro cards ever? because the Quadro M6000 GPU is exactly the same card gm200 etc as the titan X, would be nice to see workstation cards against each other
I wish there will be a single GPU that can actually run 4k at Ultra settings with solid 60fps on current and perhaps up coming games.... not medium 4k, not ultra 1440p, but ULTRA 4K at 60fps!!!! Very happy with my current 970 SLI though. Got to stop day dreaming.
Herve Shango go check anandtech and pcperspective, you're the troll here. The 295x2 is a dual gpu single CARD which makes it the most powerful single graphics card. The titan x however, is the most powerful single GPU yet
When a GPU has more RAM than your entire PC
the struggle is real. lol
Xd
lol yeah.
True :P
Lmao 8gb ftw!!!
Grabbing my HD 295X2 card back from Anthony tomorrow and will be doing a battle video between the 2 cards. Stay Tuned...
Yessssssssssss
nice, first review of the titan X thanks Elric
great :D
Did nvidia make an announcement about oculus rift? I know you said that in the video. But, is this official or just speculation? Thanks for the awesome videos!!
elric , first i hope you are feeling better! great to see you back, secondly on the side of the titan-z was that a third pci-e connecter i noticed? you can see the pins on the pcb? all the best

Maximum 90 I am only talking about a generation or two back. Would be insane to expect my 590 being compared to a Titan etc.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Z Launches. IS it the fastest gaming card ever?
How are you doing Erik? I hope good :)
Tech of Tomorrow Lol Titan Z.
Is it the faster gaming card ever or the fastest? :)
you mean Titan X
Nvidia...Lol
Those benchmarks mean nothing, the real question is ... Will it run MINESWEEPER ?
Ermahgerd dat is impossibru!
i knu rite
***** Yo dawg that fast.
+Harry Owen will it blend????
Dude im srry that games ahead of it's time, but in the near future there is a possibility that a gpu willbe able to run it at low
I have this card for game developing and just recently upgraded to Titan Z both are STRICTLY for game developing these babies so me three months worth of my job. Love your PC like a child.
yo elric, does your chair has cushioned armrest?
Yes
hot damn. can you link me what model is it. very interested on getting one if price is right.
joe boto Costco...
Just bought a Titan X for video & 3d work, but OF COURSE the first thing I'm doing is playing RUclips reviews in the background while I install Witcher 3 to try it out all maxed out. Of course.
Of course the R9 295X2 will be faster, it's 2 gpu's as compared to 1
*coughs twice*
Will be? The R9 295x2 is old news alrdy, it has bin released for quite a while.
Indeed, but only if it scales by more than 50% with the second gpu.
Just because its 2 GPUs doesnt mean a thing.
The AMD competitor for the Titan X is not the R9 295X2 anyway. Probably the R9 390x or R9 r395X2 or whatever it will be named.
I got my TITAN X yesterday from EVGA and cant wait to build my monster first gaming pc
Not bad card but too much power supply 250w, GTX 980 160w and the fps in BF4 only 9-12 fps more sorry but TITAN X is not good card at least for people that dont want to spend 1000$ ... and what about GTX 980 TI ???
This is basically the 980ti lol
Its your dad Titan is a diferent serie but yes is pretty much a gtx 980ti=titan but I expect better performace and low power consumption, this card dont deserve this high price I really hope the GTX 980 can down the price now.
***** this card isn't directly designed for gaming, the 12gb frame buffer will be utilised more in programs like cuda, just wait for amd to bring their cards out or nvidia for the next generation can't get much better on the 28nm
Its your dad yeah this card must be awesome for edit video :) but for gaming I think GTX 980 or 970 is much better choise quality/price.
***** I don't see what is wrong with high power consumption as long as it performs well and it does! But i do agree that it's overpriced along with 980, when AMD comes out with 300 series, i;m sure the prices will drop.
OMG This dude! I used to watch his videos 5 years ago in another channel. Nice to see he is still active!
Wow. This card can run 4k without the help of another card for higher graphics? well shiet.
I effing love this channel. Was eagerly waiting these benches!
I laughed so hard with the holding the dogs "where's the benchies"!
Good on you bro
LOL, thanks for being here.
Faster Graphics card ever?, You mean the FASTEST graphics card ever
Nope 295x2 beats it.
NoGoodNameGG 295x2 is a dual gpu titan x is a single gpu .. so yes titan x is the fastest single card gpu!
NoGoodNameGG thats x2 fucking fuck
inflik He said CARD not SINGLE GPU, I pointed out that the graphics CARD R9 295x2 which is a DUAL GPU beats the graphics CARD Titan X. Single GPU wise it is currently the fastest, but not the fastest graphics card...
NoGoodNameGG 295x2, that is 2 graphics cards bro. When it comes to a single graphics card this is the fastest.
I think it is very wasteful and stupid to buy a card when it first releases, right now you can get 270's and 770 ti's at around 100 dollars, sometimes high end 150.

RebelOfTheNorm242 Link please because that sounds like such bullshit
Tech of Tomorrow I missed videos like this. I hope you are feeling better Elric.
i know this isnt really relavent but the 290x seems to do better than the gtx 980 in some cases, i guess its still worth getting.
your nickname
Rittersporn :D
thats what I plan to do. CFX til the 400 series comes out :D

Nicholas A. wow nice
Damn, you looking for people to help you review or benchmark? You are my hero with my dreamjob. You rock.
Your glasses are extremely high on your nose. It bothers me a lot for some reason.
Can not be unseen.
Really respect that you are finding the time to reply to most of the commends :) ... Really cool .. keep it up (y)
gooder englsihs ever?
lol
I really wish that he would just test all his games on ultra not medium. If a card can't handle Ultra on games I'd like to know. Such as Crysis 3 & Metro LL
Poor AMD. They couldnt compete with Nvidias 2nd class GTX 970 and now they release Titan X.
***** Mmmm, 90 degrees, better get out my eggs to make an omelet.
***** they will never destroy their line... those who want performance will simply buy nvidia's cards
and that's how it is.
And a thing about temps and power usage
Recently a friend of mine bought a new pc... and when he had to decide between r9 280x and 960 sc he had to go with GTX because 600W psu wasnt enought for the stupid r9 280x and you also need a prety good case for the r9 because of its insane temps (80+ °C).

Their cards might cost less but you will need a freaking 1000W PSU and decent case to run that thing.... so at the end you rather buy GTX with more fancy functions, lower temps, good drivers and so on but they rape you in the ass with their prices
If AMD could get back in the game so nvidia would have to lower their prices ...that would be great
600w not enough for a R9 280x ? That's absolute bullshit, I have at R9 280 with a 520w psu with no issues. And the temps aren't 80+ degrees, mine stays at 29C idle and rarely goes above 65C on load. Ps my case is a corsair air 240 and It only has 2 fans in it, nothing crazy

I apologize for single card PSU shitstorm.
If you accept my apology for making a mistake or not... in reality it doesn't matter... the one who got fucked for listening to forums was my friend and eventually me.
I still believe in current Nvidia's supreme performance (which also doesn't matter)... at the end it makes no difference i guess.
One time you are better of buying AMD and other time from Nvidia.

I wanted to know your opinion on External GPU Docks for laptops or if you ever did a video on those, because I couldn't find it. And believe me I looked for it as I saw a lot of your videos!
Keep up the good work!
Would like to see the Titan X vs 295x2 benchmark include a 3 monitor test. Thanks! keep up the awesome work.
Benchmark song never gets old.... It's FANTASTIC! :D
Oh my god the benchmark song is so rockin!
I am getting the R9 295X2. And I can not wait to see these two card go head to head!
Apologize for what Elric? From what I can see from other tech channels, you did by far the most extensive testing with like every big game title. Big thumbs up for you!
So many hand gestures i would venture to say you're italian xD
Killer videos as always though. Thanks for being awesome!
Glad your back. I hope to see more from you, specialy when this card had a new cooling fans from other company.
Thanks for being here.
Elric, you don't have to apologize for anything. It's understandable you wanted to get something out while the iron is hot. I personally wasn't feeling you were missing anything. Good cards to compare and a variety of resolutions/settings. Thanks for the vid and look forward to seeing the next set benchmarks.
i really fucking love the benchmark song
Thanks Ted...
New subscriber and great review! I'm one of the silly gamers, alluded to your Titan Z review, that put one in my new Falcon Northwest. I'd love to see a Z vs. X review now that the cost of the Z has dropped so far. Is there any reason to presume the Z won't be able to handle the Oculus Rift when it comes out? Thanks!
Awesome card, but Im happy with my 970 at the moment.
Elric, you should use the old benchmark song again, that one was way more kickass \m/
Cool ...
Tech of Tomorrow
yeah, "something to believe in" was epic :D
Tech of Tomorrow i like this one
Subbed because you are a metal guitar player and a gamer like me! looking forward to your vids
I just received my Titan X 2 days ago and, no word of a lie, with a slight overclock (to 1345mhz), I was getting up to 60fps @ 4k on ultimate settings on Crysis 3 (it would drop to 45fps at times, but no complaining here!)
Mind you, I was using FXAA and not MSAA. But this card is a BEAST!
This was on a single Titan X!
was totally going to write that i wish you would have thrown up the 295x2 in the comparison charts.. thanks for the vid
Awesome video Elric, can't wait for tomorrow video, Nice job as always
When you thought that technology couldn't go further :). Sadly I can't afford this :( I'm in 9th grade now and when I start school again in the fall I will start on an sailing academy and the goal is to be able to sail in the Olympics and I have really been inspired by people like Elrik that always tend to have their mood up even if life is taught. Thanks for the video and keep your videos going!
If anything benchmark, i was new tot he gaming world just 4x months ago and i build the following system :
- i7 4790K stock 4.0Ghz
- Asus Z97-A
-16 Gb G.Skill 2400Mhz
- Samsung Evo 250Gb SSD
- 2x GTX 970 MSi Gaming 4G (SLI)
Since the 3.5Gb fiasco and i could feel it in advanced warfare (Manhunt mission), i decided i would wait before selling the 2x cards and see what single or dual gpu would be worth for.
I play at 1920x1200 mostly.
I took all from different website like techpowerup or Guru3D.
Now please consider this :
Crysis 3 - Very High quality + FXAA will give on :
1) R9 295x2 : 81 fps
2) 970 SLI : 96 fps
3) Titan Z : 95 fps
4) 780Ti SLI: 81 fps
5) 980 SLI : 109 fps
Now i just need benchmark of the titan X for this game.
Awesome. :) Gonna wait for the after-market cooler. :)
Nice Video! I allways look forward to your videos! The Titan X looks badass in this black color.
oh hell yeah ,you did a great job on the review elric , love you man
Crazy card. Good review i know you blasted this out fast but benchmark graphs would be awesome instead of just regular text. Can't wait for more PC stuff! GJ!
Rob Aldred Thanks Rob...
The card is really one step ahead of what we got today but really...i get disappointed to realise that software is WAY ahead of hardware. Games being capped because a $999 graphics card cant run 4k games at a steady 60fps.
We see insanely beautiful tech demos everywhere, but they can't be applied to current games just because the GPUs can't keep up.
Come on, we are even seeing 8k TVs being released and we cant even play 4k at 60fps without spending outrageous amounts of money on a sli/crossfire system.
Anyway, sorry if it seems like im trash talking or trolling. Its just that every new "big" GPU announcement gets me hyped, just to see that it is, in action, just a few fps above what we already got.
Thanks for keeping us informed on the new techs. Thumbs up for the video!
It would be cool if you showed the benchmarks in action.
Your videos are always very well done and educational. Just wanted to say thanks for good entertainment!
Sweet video, always fun to see 6am graphics card launches :p
Never understood why card makers make the bottom so fancy. I wish there was a way to have the fan pointing up.
Elric, could you please put the metric measurments in your video next time? It would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Great video btw ;)
It should have been there, sorry about that.
Little late to the video, but great video as always, Elric! Hope your health is staying up. Keep the videos coming!
Great video man. Can't wait to see the results of the 295x2 thrown in the mix. Any chance of a Titan X SLI video in the future? Just for the plane insanity and also why the fuck not lol.
Just got this badboy today. Can't wait to install it.
i hope it well with u elric love ur music // greetings from sweden
Greetings back Sir.
I wish I could have 4 of those to do real time path tracing with CUDA :O
Awesome review, Elric! You are looking awesome, too! Keep up the fight. Rooting for you bro!
Thank...
Tech of Tomorrow I heard that PCI-E 2.0 will limit the bandwidth of the Titan X. Heard anything about that? Although nobody will be crazy enough to use this beast on a pci-e 2.0 motherboard, what are your thoughts? Did the card reach the limit of bandwidth that the pci-e offers?...
A lot of reviewers are saying that the AIB vendors are going to offer their own versions... but they aren't. Nvidia will not allow non-reference cooled versions to be sold complete. The most the vendors can do is include their own cooler in the box for you to attach yourself.
Oh and BTW your videos looking fookin awesome at 60FPS man.
Thanks Stephen....
The card has 12GB of memory, you can put 4 of them in SLI.
12/4= 3
Half Life 3 Confirmed?
I would Like and really excited to see this NVIDIA GTX Titan X in 2 or 3 way SLi for 5K Gaming Benchmarks!
I must have watched this video 20+ times just to listen to the benchmark song :D
Good to see you getting better Elric, rock on man!!! :)
Thanks brother...
Thanks for the great video, Elric! Looking forward to see how crazy this thing can OC!
Awesome...
This things an amazing overclocker, over clocked it is able to match non-overclocked sli gtx 980's or over clocked sli gtx 970's
Finally the card ive waited for so long instabuy and nice video :D
I wonder how nice quad SLI Titan X's would run a triple 1440p 3D monitor setup.
Dang, I was waiting for your new video. I stumbled on to Linus's first about this, then saw yours XD.
nice review. you should really consider putting together some OpenCL benchmarks.
Will go with GTX Titan X in sli, then I can play at 4k with no struggle. One card can do it aslo but I want some extra power becasue some games are to heavy to drive with one single gpu. Now I just need to wait on asus to release ROG Swift PG27AQ, (4k,60hz,27",IPS with g-sync) The dream is real!
***** I have saved up to 12000$ took like 2 years but now I can upgrade from my shitty rig I use now.
Erik Andersson get 1, then buy the 2nd when you NEED it, at the moment you want it. Save some money ;)
Erik Andersson I would start a business or something with that money. That would be a much better investment, especially if you've worked hard for it during two years. Dunno, use something like 10K to start something and set the remaining 2K to buy a mid- to high-end PC. Just my two cents.
My xeon and my Palit gtx 970 jetstream rig for $1000 can run every game perfectly smooth..
How much of a beast was that 290x in those benchmarks? Considering the price compared to GTX980 that card is a no brainer once DX12 comes out..
The Pascal 1000 Series cards that are coming are going to be really good. Because the 900 series cards we have today are actually the 800's renamed to 900. We are skipping a generation going from 800 to 1000
Buying two of them and already have them on order. Now if acer would just releases that 1440P IPS panel here in North America I'm good to go.
I love how people bring up the 295x2 for a comparison when its's a dual GPU card and this is a single.
Probally just because they're in a similar price range (i havent checked though).
But the R9 295x2 is so much cheaper and so much faster
George Harding Just checked newegg the r9 295x2 is $689.99 (not counting the $30 rebate, as they're a nightmare waiting to happen). Comparisons tend to be made on price rather than how many gpu cores a card has anyway.
George Harding The Titan X and the 295x2 are around the same price.
But bang for the buck will be dependent on what game you are playing as some titles don't play nice with dual GPU set ups.
BlueFoxTV How can you say they're about the same price when you can get a brand new 295x2 for $689.99? A difference of $310 isn't "around the same price". All of the Titan series cards are among the worst "bang for the buck" graphics cards because of their insane price tags. Of course there's more than just gaming to them, but this is from a gaming perspective.
Elric please include the 780ti in the benchmarks since we're still using them
3DMark Fire Strike Titan X i think is an better option than 2x Sli of 980 or 780
2x 980 sli =15671 --2x Power comsuption (in reference of 1x 980)
vs
1x Titan X =14107 1.5x Power Comsuption (in reference of 1x 980)
Great job on the video Elric!
Waiting for Newegg to get some in stock then I am ordering a pair, My video card needs are taken care of for the next 2years.
My GTX 660 and OC'ed 75Hz 1080p screen will do atm! :)
Hey Elric,
pls do a ranking in ur Benchmarks. Best first and so on.... and not a mix of numbers please.
And what about the pc give away?
Best wishes
Hopefully someone can help me with this question. Okay I am a noob with computer hardware and I am getting a new gaming pc I would like to know if it would be best to get either: 1 Amd Radeon 8GB R9 259X2 or 2/3 Nvidia Geforce GTX Titan X. This is based just on running games on the highest settings and their FPS. Please answer if you think you know what would be best for me thanks.
I kinda wish you guys would benchmark at 1080p as well but not a Big deal though.
Excellent review. I decided to upgrade my PC with a Titan X and 32 GB of RAM. My wallet is screaming in pain, but it's worth it because my PC is good for another 3 years. I won't even look at another GPU until Volta comes out in 2018 :)
I have a 960 4gb and it runs like a beast on 4k with my AMD FX 9590 4.7ghz CPU and 16GB ram.
It's been more than 4 years and we are still on 28nm, wait till Nvidia switch to 16nm with Volta and directX 12. I think Maxwell is still a stop-gap measure comparing to whats to come next year.
those GPUs runned very hot at min temps, as well as max as my 770 usually have 29-31 at min and 78 at max on 100% load
came for the card, stayed for the song
When a single graphics card has more RAM than your DDR3 RAM and VRAM combined.
Anyone else suprised by how well the old 290x and gtx 780ti still keeps up with the ''new'' gtx 980?
Seems like your using a new web cam. looks crisper.
Elric you the beast! Those Gunnars are sick B-)
Elric, why where most of the 1440p benchmarks at medium settings? Surely Ultra would have being a better representation of the cards performance?
Thanks for the review though. :)
Man I love that music at the end
Thanks my man...
Your welcome
Would you recommend this gpu for video editing/animation?
The Titan cards are only made by nvidia as the Titan Z was. It would be nice if nvidia would let the other companies release their own version of the Titan X but I doubt it.
Would you do reviews of quadro cards ever? because the Quadro M6000 GPU is exactly the same card gm200 etc as the titan X, would be nice to see workstation cards against each other
I wish there will be a single GPU that can actually run 4k at Ultra settings with solid 60fps on current and perhaps up coming games.... not medium 4k, not ultra 1440p, but ULTRA 4K at 60fps!!!!
Very happy with my current 970 SLI though. Got to stop day dreaming.
Fastest card ever? Nope, AMD still holds that one. Fastest GPU ever, sure. $1000 though, f that lol.
lol naw you're trolling your ass off on this one
Herve Shango go check anandtech and pcperspective, you're the troll here. The 295x2 is a dual gpu single CARD which makes it the most powerful single graphics card. The titan x however, is the most powerful single GPU yet
Wawaweewa Rice i ain't trolling, lol and so what mate i saw all the benchmarks of titan x on digital foundry mate titan x is monster
Herve Shango The cheaper R9 295X2 still beats it though, but that's to be expected when it's packing 2 GPUs on a single PCB.
vBDKv okay cool but at least your not like the fella above
Elric I really like your videos and I hope you keep making them :)
Thank you.
