GeForce GTX TITAN X Video Card Review

Conclusions

From the technical point of view, the new GeForce GTX TITAN X brings impressive specifications: 3,072 processing cores, 384-bit memory bus, memory chips at 7 GHz and 12 GiB of video RAM, besides the support to DirectX 12.1. But how those features translate into gaming performance?

The GeForce GTX TITAN X actually ran most of the games we tested with a framerate above 30 frames per second, even at UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution and all the graphic quality settings maxed out, with low noise level and no overheating problems.

However, even with 50% more processing cores, 50% more memory bandwidth, 200% more RAM, and costing about 87% more than the GeForce GTX 980, the GTX TITAN X was not more than 35% faster. So, we can say it is an exceptional video card, but does not have a good cost/benefit ratio.

An interesting detail is that such a powerful video card is only justified if you either have a 4K display, or want to play using multiple displays, since using a single Full HD monitor, the GTX 980 is powerful enough to run all the games at high (or ultra) image quality settings.

Anyway, if money is not a problem for you, and you are looking for the most powerful single-chip video card available today, the GeForce GTX TITAN X is the right option.
