Nvidia Titan X Gets August 2 Release; 12GB Of GGDR5X For $1,200

Nvidia's branding as a GPU manufacturer is getting more and more cemented, as the company continues to release its items at a rapid pace. Just this year, the company has already released three other GPUs, but is again ready to release another in just a few more weeks.

As Extreme Tech notes, Nvidia just released the GTX 1060 earlier this week and already has the Nvidia Titan X ready for launch on August 2. Further, it has set the record for shortest time between a brand new architecture and then its high end GPU. That is, the Nvidia Titan X is launching six months after Maxwell.

The Nvidia Titan X will sport 3,584 CUDA cores. Despite the slower base clock and boost clock at 1417MHz and 1531MHz respectively, the 40% increase from the cores of the GTX 1080 will more than make up for it.

Ars Technica explains that the CUDA cores are care of the new GP102 chip, which is supported by 12GB of GDDR5X memory. All in all, this results in about 480GB of memory bandwidth, which is a 50% increase from the GTX 1080, which was released in May.

While there are others that expected the Nvidia Titan X to come with the HBM2 instead, it must be noted that the same is still in its infancy stages and costs much more than the GDDR5X. Nvidia had to make that choice to let the technology develop further and to make necessary cost cuts.

Right now, Nvidia is taking over the market almost single handedly. In fact, the closes competition to the Nvidia Titan X, a fighter from AMD, may not come until either later this year, or early next year.

The Nvidia Titan X is only available through the company's website and will not be sold through partnership with any third party.
