Nvidia has stealthily replaced the Titan X with an upgraded Titan Xp

Well there were certainly no leaks about this. Today, it seems that Nvidia has officially replaced the Titan X (Pascal) with the Titan Xp, featuring faster memory, more CUDA cores and faster clock speeds over the previous version.

For starters, the most obvious and immediate change to the Titan Xp is its memory. With the launch of the GTX 1080Ti, Nvidia started using faster 11Gbps GDDR5X memory for some of its GPUs. This memory is now making its way to the Titan-class card, bumping up overall memory bandwidth from 480 GB/s to 547.7 GB/s.

The GPU core initially rolled out on the Titan X was the GP-102, which is a cut down version of the GP-100 with fewer CUDA cores enabled. Nvidia has now fully unlocked all available CUDA cores on chip, bumping things up from 3584 to 3840. Finally, the rated boost clock for the new Titan Xp is 1582MHz, which is a tad higher than the 1531MHz found on the old Titan X.

While the new Titan does carry updated specs and an updating naming scheme, the cooling shroud is still branded ‘Titan X' so from the outside, all three Titan X cards will continue to look the same. The $1200 price tag also remains.

KitGuru Says: This launch snuck up on us a bit as no announcements were made beforehand, nor were there any leaks. Nvidia essentially ‘shadow dropped' a new Titan. Still, it makes sense given that Nvidia is upgrading some of its older GPUs with faster memory.

  1. Yea this is what the first Titan X should have been in the first place. They release a cut down version then a bit later release the 1080 Ti (yes we knew it was coming) but to add insult to the Titan X buyers they release the full chip version of the Titan Xp now. If I had just bought a Titan X I would be angry for sure.

    Is it going to be worth it with only maybe 10% more performance than a 1080 Ti nope heck is it worth it for a Titan X owner to upgrade to this thing again nope but I am sure there will be more than enough people willing to part with their hard earned cash that just bought Titans so they can proclaim on the internet they are king of the gaming rooms. Which is totally within their power and rights but it does seem kind of a mute point to go out and spend again on same gen stuff that nets you very little in return.

  2. The GP102 is not a cut-down version of the GP100. GP100 has 64 32-bit CUDA cores and 32 64-bit CUDA cores per SM. It has stacked FP16 support. And it is designed to use HBM2 using a CoWoS process. The GP102 has 128 32-bit CUDA cores per SM. It contains 4 64-Bit CUDA cores and 1 CUDA core for double throughput FP16 per SM for compatibility purposes. It also has support for increased throughput INT8 operations, which GP100 does not have. The original Titan X (Pascal) used a cut down version of the GP102 die. The new Titan Xp uses the full (uncut) GP102 die.

  3. I may have to sell that kidney after all. I want, no – need this card!

    You can sell the card Rick but the warranty applies to the original purchase. So if the person who purchases the card gets any issue, he will have to contact you in order to get the card replaced.
    rick tanchuk: so what do we do with it .i wanted to sli it.so you say it wont have warranty. and i cant purchase a new one .what did we do to nvidia …….
    Sonal: You can sell the card Rick but in case of any issues with the card, the person who has the card will have to contact you in regards to the card replacement because the warranty applies to the original purchase. You can keep the purchase invoice saved somewhere.
    rick tanchuk: how do i sli sir.
    rick tanchuk: buy a used one lol
    Sonal: You can contact NVIDIA store and check with them if they any update/ information regarding GTX titan X availability . You can call them on the number 866.540.1140
    rick tanchuk: so cant confirm or deny that my video card has been discontinued.
    rick tanchuk: Sonal?
    Sonal: the card has not been discontinued as far as I can tell. GTX titan X pascal is a very high end card. So it will not be discontinued so soon.
    rick tanchuk: so there is two current titans on the market ?
