NVIDIA Titan RTX GPU performance review and detailed specs

The Titan RTX, from NVIDIA, is a high-priced graphics card boasting exceptional performance and is often referred to as having nuclear-level capabilities. Users are intrigued, and we provide a detailed overview of its specifications.

NVIDIA Titan RTX Graphics Card Review

NVIDIA affectionately nicknames the Titan RTX “T-Rex,” signifying it as Earth’s most powerful desktop graphics card.

The Titan RTX features a TU102 core (12nm process), with 4608 CUDA cores, 576 Tensor cores, 72 RT ray-tracing cores, 288 texture units, 96 ROP units, and 24GB of GDDR6 memory (384-bit).

Operating at a core frequency of 1350MHz (boosted to 1770MHz), it achieves 16.3 TFLOPS in single-precision floating-point performance, a 15% improvement over the RTX 2080 Ti. Rendering 11 billion rays per second represents a 10% increase over the RTX 2080 Ti.

Maintaining the dual-fan “gas stove” design with a gold-plated casing, the standard version provides 3 DP, 1 HDMI, and a USB Type-C interface supporting the VirtualLink specification.

With a thermal design power of 280W and dual 8-pin external power connectors, it is priced at $2499, doubling the cost of the RTX 2080 Ti.

NVIDIA emphasizes T-Rex’s suitability for AI research, deep learning development (with unlocked Tensor performance), data engineers, content creators (supporting real-time editing in 8K), and enthusiasts aiming to run 4K 144Hz games.

NVIDIA Titan RTX Performance Benchmark

Korean enthusiast jbn1010 (Twitter handle) conducted a performance benchmark on the TITAN RTX. After water cooling modifications and overclocking, the card achieved a Fire Strike score of 31862 at 2070MHz, breaking the 40,000-point mark with a final score of 41109.
