NVIDIA anuncia oficialmente GeForce GTX TITAN

La tarjeta gráfica tope de gama de la compañía NVIDIA acaba de ser presentada con todos lo honores. Llega al mercado GeForce GTX Titan y en el mercado español aterrizará a un precio de 799 € (IVA no incluido) con modelos de ASUS, EVGA, GAINWARD, GIGABYTE y ZOTAC.

Las novedades de este nuevo modelo llegan principalmente heredadas del procesador GK110 que ya forma parte del superordenador más potente del mundo.

La nueva gráfica tiene nada menos que 7.000 millones de transistores, 2.668 GPU Cores, es decir 75% más que el modelo GTX 680. Tiene una potencia latente de 4,5 TeraFLOPS en operaciones de precisión simple y hasta 1,3 TFLOPS en operaciones de doble precisión gracias también a los 6 Gbytes de memoria GDDR5 que integran.

Para más inri, se pueden montar dos gráficas en un sistema pudiendo trabajar en modo SLI con gran escalado de rendimiento.

Además de ello integra la nueva tecnología GPU Boost 2.0, que permite seguir de manera más precisa la evolución de temperatura para hacer un overclock inteligente de la tarjeta aún más allá que en las gráficas Kepler.

Esto es posible gracias a un sistema mejorado de refrigeración que además promete se más silencioso que el de la generación anterior.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Feb. 19, 2013— NVIDIA today introduced the new GeForce® GTX™ TITAN, powered by the  fastest GPU on the planet(1) and designed to unleash the world’s fastest gaming PCs including personal gaming supercomputers and svelte, quiet, small form-factor PCs.

 

“GeForce GTX TITAN will allow us to create the nearly-impossible product our customers have wanted for years: a ridiculously fast, tiny system that you barely know is running,” said Kelt Reeves, CEO of Falcon Northwest.

 

GTX TITAN is built with the same NVIDIA Kepler™ architecture that powers Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s newly launched Titan supercomputer, which is number 1 in the list of the Top500 supercomputers in the world.

 

By harnessing the power of 3 GeForce GTX TITAN GPUs simultaneously in 3-way SLI® mode, gamers can max out every visual setting without fear of a meltdown while playing any of the most demanding PC gaming titles.

 

Designed with unsurpassed craftsmanship, GeForce GTX TITAN features an array of innovative technologies complemented by sleek materials that contribute to the exotic design of the card, including a high-quality exterior aluminum frame and high efficiency vapor chamber cooling. Overall, GeForce GTX TITAN’s aesthetic design evokes the spirit of a supercomputer and the enormous capability within: a blistering-fast GPU and astonishing graphics horsepower that is delivered with the power efficiency that only Kepler-class GPUs can provide.

 

With its advanced thermal and acoustic characteristics, GeForce GTX TITAN is also perfect for powering the new wave of small form-factor gaming PCs. So gamers no longer have to make the choice between performance and size—they can have both at the same time.

“GeForce GTX TITAN is a beast of a GPU—and the only one in the world powerful enough to play any game at any resolution at any time,” said Scott Herkelman, general manager of the GeForce business unit at NVIDIA. “And, yet, all of this immense power is housed in a sleek, sexy design, so gamers can also build beautifully-designed PC gaming machines about the size of a gaming console, yet magnitudes more powerful and always upgradeable.”

 

The GeForce GTX TITAN:

• Contains 7 billion transistors
• Has 2,668 GPU cores—75%  more than the Company’s NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 GPU
• Delivers 4.5 Teraflops of single precision and 1.3 Teraflops of double precision processing power
• Supports new GPU Boost™ 2.0 technology which automatically boosts graphics performance and supports unlocked voltage and advanced controls for even more gaming control and overclocking customization
• Can be combined with additional GTX TITANs in SLI mode for even more performance

 

The GeForce GTX TITAN GPU will be available starting on February 25, 2013 from NVIDIA’s add-in card partners, including ASUS and EVGA in North America, and additional partners, including Colorful, Galaxy, Gigabyte, INNO 3D, MSI, Palit and Zotac outside the US. Partner participation will vary by region. Pricing is expected to start at $999 USD.

 

GeForce GTX TITAN will also be sold in fully configured systems from leading U.S.-based system builders, including AVADirect, Cyberpower, Digital Storm, Falcon Northwest, Geekbox, IBUYPOWER, Maingear, Origin PC, Puget Systems, V3 Gaming, Velocity Micro, and other system integrators outside North America.
