The 12 GB is achieved using twelve 4 Gb chips.

xorbe12 * 0.5GB? Or 24 chips? Or 8Gb chips?

Ferrum MasterThey do not have a back plate? Cheapskates??

buildzoidBy the looks of the back of the PCB this is going to have yet another underpowered 6+2 phase VRM.

arbiterUm Given how power efficient maxwell is how do you know that's under powered? Unlike AMD, nvidia does stay within specs of power connections so in all likely hood this card is only around ~225watts TDP.

FluffmeisterLovely.

btarunrHere are some of the first close-up shots of NVIDIA's new flagship graphics card, the GeForce GTX TITAN-X, outside Jen-Hsun Huang's Rafiki moment at a GDC presentation. If we were to throw in an educated guess, NVIDIA probably coined the name "TITAN-X" as it sounds like "Titan Next," much like it chose "TITAN-Z" as it sounds like "Titans" (plural, since it's a dual-GPU card). Laid flat out on a table, the card features an a matte-black colored reference cooling solution that looks identical to the one on the original TITAN. Other cosmetic changes include a green glow inside the fan intake, the TITAN logo, and of course, the green glow on the GeForce GTX marking on the top.

The card lacks a back-plate, giving us a peek at its memory chips. The card features 12 GB of GDDR5 memory, and looking at the twelve memory chips on the back of the PCB, with no other traces, we reckon the chip features a 384-bit wide memory interface. The 12 GB is achieved using twenty-four 4 Gb chips. The card draws power from a combination of 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors. The display I/O is identical to that of the GTX 980, with three DisplayPorts, one HDMI, and one DVI. Built on the 28 nm GM200 silicon, the GTX TITAN-X is rumored to feature 3,072 CUDA cores. NVIDIA CEO claimed that the card will be faster than even the previous generation dual-GPU flagship product by NVIDIA, the GeForce GTX TITAN-Z.

Chaitanyadrool, though like other Maxwells it won't do better at compute related tasks. I think I am going to give this a pass until I see some numbers comparing it to AMD R9-290 series of video cards.

cyrandAny possibility the DisplayPorts are 1.3 instead of 1.2?

HisDivineOrderI really cannot wait until its smaller bro comes along and provides 95% of the performance for 50% of the price. You know.

btarunrUnlikely. 1.3 would mean Adaptive Sync support. NVIDIA will drag on to 1.2 until resolution hikes make it obsolete.
