NVIDIA unveils Turing-powered TITAN RTX graphics card for $2,499

NVIDIAโ€™S TITAN RTX GPU revealed with 24 GB GDDR6 Memory, 130 TFLOPs AI Learning

NVIDIA officially unveiled their Turing-powered TITAN RTX graphics card yesterday at the 2018 Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems in Montreal, Canada.

According to the company, TITAN RTX is “the worldโ€™s most powerful desktop GPU” that offers massive performance for AI research, data science, and creative applications.

The TITAN RTX, which NVIDIA has dubbed T-Rex, is driven by the new NVIDIA Turing architecture. It can deliver 130 Teraflopsย of deep learning performance and 11 GigaRays of ray-tracing performanceย to worldโ€™s most demanding users.

โ€œTuring is NVIDIAโ€™s biggest advance in a decade โ€“ fusing shaders, ray tracing, and deep learning to reinvent the GPU. The introduction of T-Rex puts Turing within reach of millions of the most demanding PC users โ€” developers, scientists and content creators,โ€ said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.

โ€œNVIDIAโ€™s greatest leap since the invention of the CUDAยฎ GPU in 2006 and the result of more than 10,000 engineering-years of effort, Turing features new RT Cores to accelerate ray tracing, plus new multi-precision Tensor Cores for AI training and inferencing. These two engines โ€” along with more powerful compute and enhanced rasterization โ€” enable capabilities that will transform the work of millions of developers, designers and artists across multiple industries.โ€

Designed for a variety of computationally demanding applications, TITAN RTX provides an unbeatable combination of AI, real-time ray-traced graphics, next-gen virtual reality and high-performance computing.

According to NVIDIA in its announcement, the TITAN RTX will feature:

  • 576 multi-precision Turing Tensor Cores, providing up to 130 teraflops of deep learning performance.
  • 72 Turing RT Cores, delivering up to 11 GigaRays per second of real-time ray-tracing performance.
  • 24GB of high-speed GDDR6 memory with 672GB/s of bandwidth โ€” 2x the memory of previous-generation TITAN GPUs โ€” to fit larger models and datasets.
  • 100GB/s NVIDIA NVLink can pair two TITAN RTX GPUs to scale memory and compute.
  • Incredible performance and memory bandwidth for real-time 8K video editing.
  • VirtualLink port provides the performance and connectivity required by next-gen VR headsets.

As far as specifications are concerned, TITAN RTX has 6 GPCs, 36 TPCs, 72 SMs, 4608 CUDA cores, and 72 RT Cores. It has a base clock of 1350MHz, with the boost clock maxing at 1770MHz. The memory is clocked at 7000MHz and offers a data rate of 14Gbps. For more detailed information on specifications, clickย here.

TITAN RTX will be available for sale later this December in the U.S. and Europe for a hefty price of $2,499.
