NVIDIA Announces GeForce GTX Titan, The Fastest GPU in the World
NVIDIA today introduced the new GeForce GTX TITAN, powered by the fastest GPU on the planet and designed to unleash the world's fastest gaming PCs including personal gaming supercomputers and svelte, quiet, small form-factor PCs.
"GeForce GTX TITAN is a beast of a GPU -- and the only one in the world powerful enough to play any game at any resolution at any time," said Scott Herkelman, general manager of the GeForce business unit at NVIDIA. "And yet, all of this immense power is housed in a sleek, sexy design, so gamers can also build beautifully-designed PC gaming machines about the size of a gaming console, yet magnitudes more powerful and always upgradeable."
GTX TITAN is built with the same NVIDIA Kepler architecture that powers Oak Ridge National Laboratory's newly launched Titan supercomputer, which is number 1 in the list of the Top500 supercomputers in the world.
By harnessing the power of 3 GeForce GTX TITAN GPUs simultaneously in 3-way SLI mode, gamers can max out every visual setting without fear of a meltdown while playing any of the most demanding PC gaming titles.
Designed with unsurpassed craftsmanship, GeForce GTX TITAN features an array of innovative technologies complemented by sleek materials that contribute to the exotic design of the card, including a high-quality exterior aluminum frame and high efficiency vapor chamber cooling. Overall, GeForce GTX TITAN's aesthetic design evokes the spirit of a supercomputer and the enormous capability within: a blistering-fast GPU and astonishing graphics horsepower that is delivered with the power efficiency that only Kepler-class GPUs can provide.
With its advanced thermal and acoustic characteristics, GeForce GTX TITAN is also perfect for powering the new wave of small form-factor gaming PCs. So gamers no longer have to make the choice between performance and size -- they can have both at the same time.
"GeForce GTX TITAN will allow us to create the nearly-impossible product our customers have wanted for years: a ridiculously fast, tiny system that you barely know is running," said Kelt Reeves, CEO of Falcon Northwest.
The GeForce GTX TITAN:
GeForce GTX TITAN will also be sold in fully configured systems from leading U.S.-based system builders, including AVADirect, Cyberpower, Digital Storm, Falcon Northwest, Geekbox, IBUYPOWER, Maingear, Origin PC, Puget Systems, V3 Gaming, Velocity Micro, and other system integrators outside North America.

The GeForce GTX TITAN:
- Contains 7 billion transistors
- Has 2,668 GPU cores -- 75% more than the Company's NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 GPU
- Delivers 4.5 Teraflops of single precision and 1.3 Teraflops of double precision processing power
- Supports new GPU Boost 2.0 technology which automatically boosts graphics performance and supports unlocked voltage and advanced controls for even more gaming control and overclocking customization
- Can be combined with additional GTX TITANs in SLI mode for even more performance
GeForce GTX TITAN will also be sold in fully configured systems from leading U.S.-based system builders, including AVADirect, Cyberpower, Digital Storm, Falcon Northwest, Geekbox, IBUYPOWER, Maingear, Origin PC, Puget Systems, V3 Gaming, Velocity Micro, and other system integrators outside North America.

note that the titan has its own beta drivers that are not public yet :) 314.09 Beta
Obviously there's not a single woman working in the company ...
Watch Linustech on youtube
I would say NVIDIA give us instead a naked ugly PCB with astronomical performance and not
a nice looking box with astronomical price (they even advertising it like it would be a frakin superstar assuming that all the people brainwashed enough trough the media to buy it)
They even invented SLI so customers will not be limited to buy just 1 card per PC so keep the price lower and more sales will occure.
The only reason i dont want to switch to AMD is cause they drivers allways full of BUG.
also that price is just stupid.
Why are you caring???
Makes no sense at all.. :banghead:
How can you bash the others, who will buy this?
It's a weird world after all.. My Goodness!
We didn't believe them of course, but its funny to see nvidia sticking like a dinosaur to the old way of thinking many years later.
Don't get me wrong I love these kind of cards, they simply don't sell well at all. I really can't see what nvidia was thinking here. The 600 series made so much more sense.
.... and ive not yet won the lotto.
I do find it aggravating that in the same speal Nv say
Finally there is a single gpu that can play any game at any res then a few lines later say combine 3x in sli to play at high res' s smooth ass wtf does one do then, contradiction mm
Clarifies amds press release yesterday for me tho, more a hey rem us guys thing.
How do both companies allways manage a slight press spoiler each release, they both need to tune some moles in.
Damn fat fingers.dam pone
S/A article back in Oct 2012
The downlocking is on BIOS side im pretty sure. So unless you edit BIOS, Precision can't do anything.
If you use the onscreen monitor you can watch your clocks while gaming or benching.
On air: I occed the clocks gpu/shader/mem for benching to the limit via Precision. Made a fan profil to keep it cool. Have a well ventilated rig. Played demanding games for hours. Benched for hours. Unigine Heaven or whatever. But there was no downclocking at all.
Did you changed power management in Nvidia CP to maximum performance?
