Although Nvidia announced the Titan X during Epic Games’ demo at the Game Developers Conference earlier this month, the chip vendor is yet to share the full specs of the video card. The card is set to be officially announced at Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference later this week, but the full specifications of the GM200 silicon — which is what the card is based on — have been leaked.

Videocardz posted the block diagram of the GPU, with the fully-unlocked silicon featuring 6 Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs), each holding 4 Maxwell Streaming Multiprocessor (SMMs), for a total of 24 SMMs, or 3072 CUDA cores. A total of 6 memory controllers, each with 64-bit memory means that the Titan X has a memory bus width of 384-bit. Other specs include 192 Texture Mapping Units (TMUs) and 96 Raster Operation Units (ROPs).

In terms of bandwidth, the Titan X clocks in at 1002MHz base and 1089MHz boost, and will offer an astounding 12GB of GDDR5 memory at 1753MHz. While not confirmed, the video card is set to have a TDP of 250W, with one eight-pin and six-pin PCI-Express power connectors. Display connectors include three DisplayPort, one HDMI and one DVI port. Synthetic benchmarks of the card have leaked last week, indicating significant gains in performance over the GTX 980.

Pricing of the Titan X is said to be the case as earlier-generation models, which would come out to $999. The card is slated to make its debut tomorrow, which is when we’ll have further details, as well as real-world benchmarks.

Last week at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco,  Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) gave us the first glimpse at its upcoming Titan X card.

Not much is known about the card as the exact specs will be revealed during its launch at the upcoming Nvidia GPU Technology Conference taking place later this month. We do know, however, that its GPU will feature 12GB VRAM, the transistor count will be upped from 7 billion to 8 billion, and the memory bus interface is set to 384-bit.

Maximum PC was able to get its hands on the Titan X and posted a few close-up pictures of it. While the magazine wasn’t able to reveal anything more due to an NDA, we do see that the card has both 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors as well as a bevy of output ports: three DisplayPorts, one HDMI, and one DVI.
As the Titan X will be based on Nvidia’s Maxwell architecture, many are looking forward to seeing the card in benchmarking action. With specs that are sure to be much more impressive than anything the competition can offer, the card should be able to easily chew through 4K and VR gaming — both are very high-intensity applications.

Nvidia’s last attempt at a Titan, the Titan Z, was riddled with problems. Originally announced the the GTC 2014 conference, the card was long delayed. When it eventually came out it was not competitive against the Radeon R9 295 X2 on a price or performance basis. While it was really intended for CUDA programming as opposed to gaming, the Titan Z did eventually find a win inside Alienware’s Aurora gaming rig.

More details including pricing and availability will be available March 17-20 at the GPU Technology Conference.
