Nvidia Titan X (Pascal) Review

The Guru of 3D published a review on the Nvidia Titan X (Pascal)

A quote from the article:
In this article we'll look at something that rises like Phoenix, the new generation Nvidia Titan X based on that all new Pascal GPU. Armed with 12GB of GDDR5X graphics memory and that all new GP102 GPU we are certain, we're gonna break some records today as it is a first and true 4K60 GPU.

There is no way of denying it, the 'new' Nvidia Titan X has been released a little silent and perhaps may I name it awkward ? See Nvidia this week made the Pascal iteration of the Titan X available on the market, you can purchase it from selected system builders as well as their website. Now I called this a bit backwards as two days ago I was talking to a staff member about the Titan X. And he said, "huh, but the Titan X is already in your benchmark charts ever since last year" ... and that's the awkward bit. See Nvidia released a 'new' Titan X, the 'older' one was released back in March 2015 and it is based on Maxwell GPU architecture. The new model comes with the new Pascal GP 102 graphics processor and faster memory. That GP102 graphics processor features 3584 shader cores and has been tied towards 12GB of GDDR5X memory running over a 384-bit bus, a product that is selling for give or take $1200. You have been able to see very few reviews on this new product, Nvidia really isn't aiming at gamers with this release. it is supposed to be a professional series or pro-sumer product aimed at deep-learning, really that is what this iteration of Pascal GP102 is about. But we all know (including Nvidia) that a product like this will be worshipped and embraced by many gamers in the sense of haing that Ferrari in their PC opposed to the Porche. As such for gamers the new Nvidia Titan X isn't even going to make much sense as at 1920x1080 you'll be hugely limited by your processor, yes even the fastest eight and 10 core processors will not be able to keep up properly. The few gamers that can and will purchase this product will need to focus at Ultra HD gaming mostly. Below that resolution, honestly .. go look at a GTX 1070 or 1080. The Pascal GP102 , fabbed at a 16 nm node with fins, that smaller 16 nm FinFET fabrication process works out really well for Nvidia. The 1060, 1070 and 1080 have been a high clocked success story ever since their launch. Meanwhile the Gp102 really wasn't supposed to be launched already (we think), but it is the Summer of 2016 and both AMD and Nvidai decided to unleash everything and anything that normally launches in an entire year, within a 3 month time-frame.
