Nvidia surprise launches the 12GB GeForce Titan X, 'the most advanced GPU ever'

[Thomas the Tank Engine]

 

Nvidia chief executive Jen-Hsun Huang strolled on stage at a Game Developer Conference presentation from Epic Games, casually announced the new flagship GeForce Titan X graphics card, autographed it, and left.

So that happened.

 

After spending the better part of two hours launching its Nvidia Shield gaming set-top box/console on Tuesday night, Huang took everyone by surprise when he launched the Titan X on Wednesday morning.

Will love to see the videos, benchmarks, and people mindlessly paying for this to run it in 4-way SLI

 

Gotta love the card.

BTW, amazing video!

Wrong, the Titan Z is $3000, there is no price yet for the Titan X.

I need to progress my software developer career a bit more before I can afford this.

I'm aware of that. Assuming it will probably be similarly priced.

Damn. You two should help me pay for my college tuition.

[Vvo]

The Titan X will cost about $1300 and not $3000

Damn. You two should help me pay for my college tuition.

 

Don't know about the other guy but I was being sarcastic.

They have to include that bit on every bloody release ever.

The level of graphics in the video, will that be playable?

You notice in the video that he fell into the water, but they never show it, and he's still dry, leads me to believe they are having issues rendering water with this card.
