NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X Benchmarks and Specifications Leak Out

Legit Reviews first saw the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X just over one week ago when NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang answered Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney’s need for a more powerful GPU during Epic’s GDC keynote. The very first retail boxed card was signed personally over to him moments later after we found out that the GeForce GTX Titan X would have 8 billion transistors and a 12GB frame buffer. Not much else was said because it appeared Jen-Hsun wanted to let the specifics of their flagship desktop graphics card to be revealed at their GPU Technology Conference (GTC) that kicks off on March 17th, 2015.

Despite NVIDIA implementing new security procedures to keep the GeForce GTX Titan X details secret until Jen-Hsun can disclose them it appears that a site has published purported GeForce GTX Titan X benchmarks along with what they claim to be the specifications. The site in question is VideoCardz and they say the GeForce GTX Titan X 12GB video card is powered by the GM200 Maxwell GPU and has 3072 CUDA cores, 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs, a 250W TDP and 12GB of GDDR5 memory. The clock speeds are said to be 1002MHz on the base clock (boost clocks were not mentioned) and 1753MHz (7012MHz effective). The site goes on to explain that the GDDR5 memory operates on a 384-bit wide bus and has a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 336 GB/s. The GeForce GTX Titan X will run $999 according to the site.

The site was somehow able to get enough cards to benchmark the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X as a single card and then in 2-way, 3-way and even 4-way SLI. VideoCardz has additional 3DMark synthetic benchmarks and charts posted up on their site if you wanted to take a look. In the 3DMark 11 performance benchmark the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 scored 16,988 versus the 22,903 of the GeForce GTX Titan X. That would make the Titan X about 34.8% faster than the GeForce GTX 980 with stock clock speeds.

If that isn’t enough damage already the website ChipHell has also posted up some benchmarks from what is said to be another NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X video card. Click the images above to zoom in on one of the benchmark charts in the gallery above to get it full sized. ChipHell has the GeForce GTX Titan scoring 7,825 in 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme, which is pretty damn close to the 7,427 result shown on VideoCardz.
