NVIDIA Tease GeForce Titan X Collector’s Edition

NVIDIA has today published a new video tease for an unnamed new product. However, within the video it’s clear to see the GPU with the name ‘Titan X Collector’s Edition’ emblazed upon it, as seen in the image above.

The NVIDIA GeForce Titan X originally launched back in August 2016, and since then NVIDIA has made regular efforts to continually update their range of available graphics cards. The GeForce Titan X Collector’s Edition has no information currently available – indeed, the PR e-mail addressing the tease simply stated ‘…it’s coming’ – but the current suggestion is that the GPU will perform similarly to the existing GeForce Titan X.

The GeForce Titan X range was most recently expanded with the NVIDIA GeForce Titan Xp, which launched in April 2017. It’s highly possible that this new ‘collector’s edition’ could in fact be a remodelling of the GeForce Titan Xp, opposed to the original GeForce Titan X, as the GeForce Titan Xp excels in performance over the GeForce Titan X significantly.

You can see the teaser trailer for the NVIDIA GeForce Titan X Collector’s Edition below, and for comparison sake VRFocus has included the specifications of the GeForce Titan X and GeForce Titan Xp. You can find a more comprehensive guide to NVIDIA’s GPU range in the comparison guide for NVIDIA’s New Titan X, 1080, 1070 and 1060 Graphics Cards.

TITAN X vs TITAN Xp Comparison Guide

If you’re into top-of-the-line PC gaming with a penchant for NVIDIA GPU’s, these last 12 months have seen the company release an incredibly powerful selection of products using its new Pascal architecture. The true giants have only surfaced this year though, with the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti arriving last month, surpassing the heavyweight performance of the TITAN X. So naturally NVIDIA had to bring out something new to head the lineup, coming in the form of the TITAN Xp. So how much more do you get? Well VRFocus has created a handy spec comparison guide to show you.

While the focus is on the TITAN X and the TITAN Xp graphic cards, with the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti providing the performance that it does – and at nearly half the price – it was worth including the card in this summary.

Comparing the two TITAN’s there’s a fairly reasonable improvement in performance in the eight months since the ‘X’ launched, with more CUDA cores and TFLOPS providing plenty of muscle for any virtual reality (VR) content thrown at it.

The new TITAN Xp card will also work in SLI when using NVIDIA’s bridge, although most VR content – and gamers – aren’t likely to need anywhere near that much power.

But comparing the TITAN’s together is one thing, when looking at the TITAN Xp and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti on the other hand those specifications are even closer. And while the TITAN Xp is certainly improving those numbers, they might not impress enough users to fork out the extra cash for the flagship model.
