NVIDIA Pascal Titan X release date, specs news update: GPU to arrive in August with $1200 price tag

NVIDIA president and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang recently announced the new flagship GPU of the company called Titan X. The announcement was made during an engagement at Stanford University, where Huang also explained what people can expect on this new powerful graphics card.

The NVIDIA Titan X will be available on Aug. 2. The video card is based on NVIDIA's latest GP102 GPU. It will be shipped with 3584 CUDA cores, a total of 12 billion transistors and runs at 250W. According to industry experts, the remarkable hardware unit has 40 percent more power than the current GTX 1080.

Both the GTX 1070 and the GTX 1080 were based on the GP104. However, the two cards and the new Titan X use the same Nvidia's Pascal architecture.

NVIDIA has been pretty impressive this year. In less than three months, the company has released four video cards such as the GTX 1060, GTX 1070, GTX 1080 and the new Titan X.

As of the moment, the company has been pretty conservative in providing significant details about the upcoming GPU. However, many fans believe that NVIDIA will soon give concrete details about its new product before it hits the shelves early August.

Just like the NVIDIA GTX 1080, the Titan X sports a whopping 12GB of 10Gbps GDDR5X. The video card also has a 384-bit memory bus, which helps the card to support any sorts of gaming and 3D graphics. However, users will not be able to take advantage of the GPU's full capability because there is no monitor available as of the moment that has high enough resolution.

Meanwhile, according to reports, the NVIDIA Titan X will come out with a $1200 price tag. It is a hefty amount but with it specs and features, the new GPU will certainly become a headline grabber once it arrives in the market.
