Nvidia announces the GTX Titan Black

The GTX Titan Black features the best of the GTX Titan and the GTX 780 Ti.



Alongside the launch of the entry-level GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti, Nvidia has announced the next version in the Titan series, the GTX Titan Black.

The Titan Black, as rumored, features a fully enabled GK110 GPU, just like the GTX 780 Ti. However, the card comes with twice the amount of memory, which is now at 6GB of GDDR5. The card is the best of both worlds: You get the computational power of the GTX Titan, and the gaming prowess of the GTX 780 Ti.

The Titan Black comes with 2880 CUDA cores, which is a slight increase from the 2688 cores used in the Titan. It utilises the entire 7GHz memory bandwidth, unlike the Titan, which used 6 GHz. The increased bandwidth can mean an increase of as much as 19 percent on computational tasks. The Titan Black excels at double precision floating point performance, an area in which the GTX 780 Ti was found lacking. The card comes with core clocks of 889 MHz and boost clocks of 980 MHz. It has a TDP of 250 watts, and connects using one 6-pin and one 8-pin power connector. It comes with dual-link DVI ports, one HDMI out and one DisplayPort 1.2 connector.

While it is slightly better than the original GTX Titan, it is unclear whether Nvidia would find a significant amount of interest in the Titan Black, considering its $999 price tag. The Titan Black features the same GK110 silicon on the same 28 nm process, and while it does feature a fully unlocked GPU, the GK110 has been around for a while now. Also, Nvidia is set to launch its next-generation 28 nm cards based on the Maxwell architecture later this year, so it does not make much sense to buy the Titan Black now.
