\nJust a few months after introducing its next-gen RTX cards, Nvidia has a new king on the block: The Titan RTX. While it\u2019s not technically the fastest card Nvidia makes \u2013 that would be its professional-grade Quadro 6000, by a small margin \u2013 it\u2019s the fastest regular people can get. That is, regular people who can afford a $2,500 graphics card.
In essence, it\u2019s a 2080 Ti on steroids. It pumps out 16.3 Teraflops to the 2080 Ti\u2019s 14 thanks to a higher boost clock and access to more active CUDA and tensor cores. It also has 24GB of VRAM compared to the 2080 Ti\u2019s oh-so-measly 11GB.
All this should translate to minimal graphics improvements, but this isn\u2019t really a card aimed at gamers. It\u2019s main benefits will be seen by researchers and scientists who need the card for its AI chops; the Titan RTX can hit 130 TFLOPS at 32-bit floating point precision, which will aid in training neural networks.
Point is, for the vast majority of people, a 2080 Ti or 2080, or 2070 makes a lot more sense, but you probably already know that. On the plus side, at $2,500, the Titan RTX is actually cheaper than the $3,000 its predecessor launched at, so there\u2019s that. In any case, it\u2019s a card to lust over until Nvidia inevitably pumps out something even more powerful in a year or two.
If you\u2019ve got the dough to spare, you\u2019ll be able to buy the Titan RTX from Nvidia\u2019s website later this month.
