According to the latest reports, the Nvidia Pascal Titan X is almost upon the gamers rooting for the best graphics card suited for this generation's most popular video games. If the latest leaked renders and details are to be believed, it appears that every dollar spent in buying the new Titan X is all worth it. In fact, it is expected to feature several major improvements over the previous Titan X cards.

Kotaku Australia reported that the Nvidia Pascal Titan X will be greater than the previous generations of Pascal-based Titan graphics cards. Kotaku has shown the latest benchmarking results of the alleged new Titan X. So far, the benchmarks suggest that the new one from Nvidia is going to be faster than the old graphics card.

It is, however, not completely superior over the old Titan X as the upcoming card is said to have 3854 CUDA cores to the GTX 1080's 2560. However, the Titan X has slower base and boost clock speeds, ranging from 1417MHz to 1531MHz and 1607MHz to 1733MHz, respectively.

Videocardz has also reported the 3D Mark Fire Strike scores when the new Titan X graphics card is compared to Nvidia's previous Pascal series GPUs. Likewise, the 3D Mark suggests that Titan X is going to boast improvements over the old one by the time of its release. The website noted, though, that 3D Mark synthetic tests are not as reliable as benchmarking. It appears that the anticipated costly price of the new Titan X is just fine due to its advanced features.

On the other hand, PC World reported that the new Titan X has more hardware than its predecessor. For starters, the Pascal-based Titan X is going to pack a total of 3584 CUDA cores with a 1417 MHz base and 1531 boost clock, impressively faster by half of one gigahertz of the older Maxwell GPU-based Titan X.
