Never saw that video. We've called it Titan XP since we ran the article for it on launch night. It's not really that unique of a name. We also called the previous Titan the Titan XM, at times.
Right now I get around 40 to 50 fps at 2160p resolution with my pair of 980tis. In your opinion, do you think that it's appropriate to upgrade to some 1080s, or wait for the 1080ti which should be released in 2017?
I love looking back at these videos. You can tell you’ve tried to make your videos more accessible by toning down a lot of the minutiae, yet a lot of is still so similar. Cards have changed so damn much though!
Only came across a couple of your videos before the livestream with joker but really appreciated it. It helped me decide what gpu and cpu to go for :) clearly know your stuff! Thanks for the content and I've now subscribed cause why the crap not
WHY DOESN'T THIS CHANNEL HAVE MORE SUBSCRIBERS!? You guys always bring amazing content and some of the best reviews, how I wish more people watched your videos.
fat4ll it's honestly one of the main reasons I like this channel. Their videos go into detail without dumbing shit down like most other popular channels or simply reading the specs.
Daniel Mendoza You don't even know the half of it. There's a series of technical articles on this channel with AMD that involve stuff I deal with in Mantle / Vulkan as a developer but I never in a million years would expect to see presented to consumers. This channel is special.
Yes I like the channel too. It's just way too much info squeezed into 10 mins. It's like reading from the paper as fast as possible to be able to give as much info as possible. Less technical info(graphs-they are not very clear), more chill, more opinion, less "rush" and that will be cool :)
Did not quantify, but I ran my Titan XP's on air to prove the card then installed a new EK backplate and waterblock. Huge FPS difference without any overclocking.
I thought Nvidia had said they were not allowing any partner cards for the Pascal Titan? If there are indeed going to be partner solutions, that is great news!
I bought this card because I wanted to put it all in this time, and I didn't wanna go sli. Plus, if I wanna sli in the future I can in the future when prices drop
Building my first rig. So far these are the parts I've chosen for the build. Nothing has been purchased yet. Please, any advice would be most appreciated.

I love the in-depth video and all the details you guys run through but, I don't understand why you didn't touch the fan curve at all on air? Literally every other reviewer gets about 2050 on the core. I realize you guys did everything else and it's extremely informative [especially the written review] but changing fan speed can be a night and day difference, especially because there's no effort required. One more thing I didn't get here, your Titan XP seemed to have a pretty poor OC under water. 1937 was the max stable OC on the core and that seems quite low for holding the GPU at 41C under load. Did you get a less-than-average chip or was it because you threw more into your memory OC? Otherwise, I love the amount of work put into these reviews. It's extremely informative and gives anyone pretty much all the info they need. Keep up the great work guys!
What specifically are cards like this and (mainly) the Quadro series meant for? I know production, but specifically what? Transcoding/video rendering? 3D rendering (like blender or poser)? Game SDKs (like Unreal's dev kit, cryengine, etc)? All of the above?
Things like Premiere will benefit from the Quadro series and Titan series cards. We use a Titan XM for our Premiere rendering machine. We also use one for Blender rendering, which benefits pretty noticeable from the sheer CUDA core count and extra VRAM. CUDA-accelerated renders (Premiere, Photoshop, Blender, Autodesk stuff) will benefit from those cards.
3 years late but should I do 3xTitan XP with 3 h55 or should I try water loop cooling? I worry about Vram cooling with the h55 because I use them for rendering and heavy sims that require v ram usage. Any thoughts would help alot. Awesome vids!
Hey Steve, do you or the crew have a twitch channel I'd be able to throw Twitch Prime bux at? I've got prime but don't really use twitch so it's just going to waste.
To this day, I am still rocking the Titan X Pascal, how it is still alive I have no idea, runs most games at medium settings, slightly older games at max (with volumetric clouds turned off), and still, somehow, able to run Star Citizen at between 25-70fps, depending on where I am located in the game. I tell you though, this GPU is seriously struggling, regularly smacking 100% on the GPU, but I suppose that's to be expected from a GPU I've had for almost 6.5 years. Been holding off for as long as I can in the hopes of a new titan GPU coming out (like a 4000 series titan) but been waiting so long, I may just have to get a 4090 instead :c (been using solely Titan GPUs for almost 10 years, sad to break my own wee tradition)
Hey Steve, would it be worthwhile to get another 1070 and SLI to get similar performance to the titan xp (cannot drop 1200 on a gfx card, realistically 800-900 max budget) or get a 1080 or wait for the 1080 ti which is rumored for January? I am not satisfied with just one 1070, and don't want to eat several hundred dollars selling two 1070s in a few months when the rx 490 and 1080ti roll around. I only play AAA titles and currently use dsr to 5k, and will be getting a 4k monitor soon. Any ideas?
Greg Seymour get that monitor and wait for the next generation with proper dx12 architecture.10 series are just 9series on speed(14nm). Next gen you get both for lower price. 1070 is a beast you just have to turn off that demanding eye candy settings that no one uses anyway.
Well i dont know what you are trying to get to, but i game at 2560x1440p, current game im playing is battlefield 1, and im running DX12 ultra everything settings, plus up some on the resolution scale slider, and am running just fine. Are you speaking from experience, or just being an Nvidiot?
lol i find it funny how youre typing shitty facts you heard off a random youtuber as if you found it out yourself. youre a fanboy mate. an unwise one at that
@Gamers Nexus, great video! I need you to school me in something, how is it possible for that card to hit 2000Mhz with no OC? I have a Titan X SLI with a custom water loop, my thermals are way below 60c at full load and mine top at 1873mhz with no OC... What am I doing wrong?
Boost 3.0 has a few variables it relies on: Temperature, power, and voltage are the main ones. It also boosts the clock based on quality of the chip, so that is another factor. We were hitting somewhere around 1900MHz with no OC, but with the liquid cooler. Sounds like you are within range of chip quality or thermal differences.
We monitor it to determine where we hit other component bottlenecks, but don't currently publish that data. It is certainly useful to make sure the benchmark is performing properly.
Thereal AdamMercs I think it's ok. Jay once sad that every component requires 120mm radiator space at least bit the more you have the lower the temperature you get.
Why does NVIDIA do this? You're required to use a reference design on their flagship product, but the reference design is inferior. Time and time again, they show us that we're supposed to wait for an 80 Ti with non-reference design to get a proper implementation of their flagship chipset (minus a few CUDA cores and a little bit of memory). ASUS, et. al would have balls to the walls sealed liquid cooling solutions for the Titan cards at launch if they were allowed to do this. Nobody wants to pay these absurd prices and get stuck with NV's stock cooling.
Have you seen all the other content that we've produced in that time? We have been on the road for nearly 30-40 days out of the last 60. The Titan X was simply lower priority.
dannyb230894 Yes but performs better, and from logic that you use one 1080 for some time, and later on down the road purchase a second one is perfectly reasonable. Besides im certain their prices will drop once AMD releases their top cards. Thats what im also waiting for. I have one 1080, when prices drop will get second one. :)
The current titan fp64 for scientific and financial compute is heavily crippled. The original titan cards had a real value proposition for small lab environments. The last two titans have very very very few use cases where buying one makes any rational sense.
Hey Steve, I know it's been quite a while since Titan Xp releases. But it's there any way you can water cool my Titan Xp like you did to Sam's. My 4-year-old Titan really need some kick-ups. Thank you!
I wonder if Nvidia purposely makes their product naming confusing because they don't want their customers to actually know what they're buying? It's the closest they can get to actual false advertising. In fact I would argue that giving one product the exact same name as some other completely different product IS false advertising, but I'm sure there's a loophole in the legal definition that only considers it false advertising if the better product was invented first or something. It's not like they haven't misled us in the past. I mean, imagine how pissed people would be if Ford rehashed a new model of the Ford Focus, but called it a Mustang. Maybe I'm just too cynical. But the way I see it, it's either they did it on purpose or Nvidia's marketing department really is just ridiculously incompetent.

Gamers Nexus as far as I'm aware, GN was the first to name it the xp.
empyrealpalliate LTT has been calling it that since it was announced
To be fair, it really is not a unique name. People at nVidia were probably calling it that internally before anyone publicly knew the thing existed.
Right now I get around 40 to 50 fps at 2160p resolution with my pair of 980tis. In your opinion, do you think that it's appropriate to upgrade to some 1080s, or wait for the 1080ti which should be released in 2017?
I love looking back at these videos. You can tell you’ve tried to make your videos more accessible by toning down a lot of the minutiae, yet a lot of is still so similar. Cards have changed so damn much though!
Prices were reasonable back then
Thank you Steve, amazing as always. All the best!

Finally, the Titan X(P) review I have been waiting for!!!
Excellent stuff as usual, Steve!
Awesome stuff Steve.
Great review as always. Keep it up!
Great again. Thanks!
I like these videos before I watch them because im confident they are great content!
great work thanks
You deserve to have a lot more followers!
Love the Titan XP LCHB!!! I have two of them now and they don't go above 47c!
You sound like a weather man... Kudos ; )
Did not quantify, but I ran my Titan XP's on air to prove the card then installed a new EK backplate and waterblock. Huge FPS difference without any overclocking.
Would be interesting to see two Titan Xps in SLI on those charts (with water cooling)
Yeah, subbed for great content....
Great video man. I'm waiting for the 1080ti as my GPU replacement. Hopefully it compares to the XP at a lower price.
Steeldragon886 yea and get a water cooled one.
I thought Nvidia had said they were not allowing any partner cards for the Pascal Titan? If there are indeed going to be partner solutions, that is great news!
That was the plan, but AFAIK, EVGA was working on TiXP liquid cooling kits (if not full cards).
I bought this card because I wanted to put it all in this time, and I didn't wanna go sli. Plus, if I wanna sli in the future I can in the future when prices drop

Do a review on the MSI Aegis

HI steve im asking a Q can you ld cool a gpu ld cooling can get you to 5 ghz it will be crazy and fun if it possible
didn't all of you notice how if you went higher then 2.1ghz it starts to slow down as in needs memory timings and software
oh my
You guys have to put the Fury X in the benchmarks. Great card man, and it represents the higher performance likes of the 980ti/1070.
It is in many of them on the website...
Well i dont know what you are trying to get to, but i game at 2560x1440p, current game im playing is battlefield 1, and im running DX12 ultra everything settings, plus up some on the resolution scale slider, and am running just fine. Are you speaking from experience, or just being an Nvidiot?
AMD fanboy? I own a strix 970, a Zotac 980, Zotac amp EXTREME 980TI, Evga classified 980ti, and currently Fury X. Love them all.
Rene Pena if u ever wanna sell any lemme know.
lol i find it funny how youre typing shitty facts you heard off a random youtuber as if you found it out yourself. youre a fanboy mate. an unwise one at that

I know this is an old video, but I just picked one up for 280$ somehow and its in perfect working order
Hard to belive 2016 brot us almost stock 2Ghz vidio cards. Hipe of WHOLE 1 GHZ was a big deal in 2012 was like yesterday.
would there be a benefit in adding GPU usage in benchmarking?
We monitor it to determine where we hit other component bottlenecks, but don't currently publish that data. It is certainly useful to make sure the benchmark is performing properly.
I love my Titan Xp!
when you can get them second hand with warranty less than a 1080ti I luv them
I've got a question, would a 36 and a 240 be enough radiator space to cool two overclocked titan xps and a 6950x?
Thereal AdamMercs I think it's ok. Jay once sad that every component requires 120mm radiator space at least bit the more you have the lower the temperature you get.
Arnold Tóth Isaszegi thank you for the feedback

Why the 2-month holdup for the review-proper of the card??
Have you seen all the other content that we've produced in that time? We have been on the road for nearly 30-40 days out of the last 60. The Titan X was simply lower priority.
back when a flagship gpu reviewed by gamer nexus made 25k views
👍❤
no love for the asus strix 1080 bench?
wait, you said ASUS has a Titan XP?
2024 i buy one titan xp
Tiatan X just plain ol costs too much to be called a gaming GPU. It's like a 1%-2% market
0.1% market i would say, 1080's are 1-3%. Nvidia prices are insane these days.
thats why I went 1070 good performance and didnt break the bank
sli 1080 costs more than the titan xp though .....
dannyb230894
Yes but performs better, and from logic that you use one 1080 for some time, and later on down the road purchase a second one is perfectly reasonable. Besides im certain their prices will drop once AMD releases their top cards. Thats what im also waiting for. I have one 1080, when prices drop will get second one. :)
WOW, 2 1070's in SLi for $800USD sounds legit to me
frame times are not a good.
a single 1080 is a better choice
as many games have no SLI profiles.
The current titan fp64 for scientific and financial compute is heavily crippled. The original titan cards had a real value proposition for small lab environments. The last two titans have very very very few use cases where buying one makes any rational sense.
Yeah, the architecture has changed a lot. Tesla seems to be more reserved for that market, these days.
To utilize the full power of the Titan XP you need to be using a Windows XP OS. NVIDIA could have let people know that too. Kappa
mmmm money. Money
Hey Steve, I know it's been quite a while since Titan Xp releases. But it's there any way you can water cool my Titan Xp like you did to Sam's. My 4-year-old Titan really need some kick-ups. Thank you!
i find the gtx 10 series very disappointing. except the gtx 1060 which is a good pricing. but not one of these upper cards get stable 60fps at 4k
Hayate Azekura I doubt you even have a 4K monitor. Why complain about stuff you can't afford ?
Cypher99 I Did have a 4k monitor and ha a GTX 1080.
Hayate Azekura proof?
so go buy an amd card to get stable 60fps... oh, wait, you can't! but that's not disappointing i guess
The GTX 1080 Ti will have the same performance as SLI GTX 1070, mark my words.
is cant be better than titan xp. its between xp and 1080
just dont say it cost $1000
7 people are jealous as fuck. xD

37th!
so basically this is a waste money,the 1080 give nearly as good for a hell of a lot less cost
patchedupdemon Sure but then the 1070 would give you nearly the same performance for a hell of a lot less too. Haha
patchedupdemon The Titan series has never been about price to performance. It is about having the best of the best gaming card.
Kenrick Brown well its not that much better than a single 1080 realy is it
patchedupdemon GTX 1080 vs Titan XP

Kenrick Brown Wow! That Titan vs 1080 is a bigger difference than I expected
So basically buy a GTX 1080 ha ha
i don't see what would warrant the $1,200 price tag.
***** sli or cfx is no good.
Most games don't even support it.
The ones that do have shitty scaling.
***** no dx12 games do though.
Why?
Because dx12 relies on Devs to make multiple GPU support.
And they make games for 1 GPU console.
lul :P
69th
first?
Beat you to it!
Nice but pretty useless review. IMO, these cards are out of reach of most peple, and even if I can afford one, I wouldn't buy it anyway, because they're way to overpriced and too expensive to hold any value in it. I mean, you can build a nice gaming PC for the price of one of those.
