Graphics cards for PCs can be an costly investment. Technology advances pretty steadily and the best part is consumers get to see the results pretty quickly. Which makes purchasing one of the top of the line cards more of an exercise in prototyping the future. Because in terms of sheer size, power consumption, and heat, they can be monsters. None more so than Nvidia's beastly Titan line of cards. And with the recent string of new card announcements from the company comes a new monster. The Titan X.

How beastly is it? Well,

NVIDIA TITAN X has 11 TFLOPS of power, 3584 CUDA Cores, 12GB of 10Gbps GDDR5X VRAM, a 384-bit Memory Interface, 480 GB/sec of Memory Bandwidth, boosts to 1.5GHz out of the box, and utilizes superior heat dissipation vapor chamber cooling technology.

To put that in terms we might all understand, and to quote US Presidential candidate Donald Trump, 11 Teraflops of power is huge. The biggest. Gigantic. The best.

Which is why Titan cards retail for well over $1,000 AUD. With the recent Pascal powered GeForce 1080 GTX outstripping the previous Titan card thanks to advancements in new chip technology the new Titan X also adopts Pascal to blow even that out of the water. Spec-wise.

The Titan X is due for release August 2.
