The TITAN RTX is an enthusiast-class graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on December 18th, 2018. Built on the 12 nm process, and based on the TU102 graphics processor, in its TU102-400-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. This ensures that all modern games will run on TITAN RTX. Additionally, the DirectX 12 Ultimate capability guarantees support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading and more, in upcoming video games. The TU102 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 754 mm² and 18,600 million transistors. It features 4608 shading units, 288 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. Also included are 576 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 72 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 24 GB GDDR6 memory with the TITAN RTX, which are connected using a 384-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1350 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1770 MHz, memory is running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA TITAN RTX draws power from 2x 8-pin power connectors, with power draw rated at 280 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x HDMI 2.0, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, 1x USB Type-C. TITAN RTX is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. The card's dimensions are 267 mm x 116 mm x 35 mm, and it features a dual-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 2499 US Dollars.
