The competition has been really hard these day especially in GPU market and as Nvidia is dominating the market with the dual GPU card GTX 690 as well as with GTX 680 in single GPU limit but they put more pressure on AMD by releasing more fast single GPU card Nvidia GTX Titan which is really great and AMD is just not looking in mode of releasing their 7000 series dual GPU card 7990 which was previously set for release in December 2012 but they delay it and now Nvidia GTX Titan is in the market which put more pressure on them as well. I think that’s all for GPU war and now let take a look at Titan.
The Nvidia GTX Titan is powered by one GK 110 GPU, 28 nm technology is seems great for Titan and the 6GB-GRRD5 memory is quite enough even for 2560x1600 gaming as well. Nvidia GTX Titan is basically a Kelper based card so we are expecting best performance from it and as it has same core architecture as some other 600 Series Nvidia GPUs had. The 192 stream processors and all of them runs at unified clock speed for perform well. Five GPCs (to the 680’s four) each comprised of three 192-stream processor SMXs (to the GTX 680’s 2 SMXs per GPC) mean the GTX Titan sports 2,688 Stream Processors, a 75 per cent increase over Nvidia GTX 680. It has more texture units and tessellation units than Nvidia GTX Titan.

There are 48 ROP and 6 memory controllers (64-bit) are controlling 384 bit memory interface. Multi-GPU technology has certainly improved in leaps and bounds over the last few years with efforts from both Red and Green camps to be quicker at adding new game support and updating multi-GPU profiles. Multi-GPU still isn't as reliable as a single GPU and it’s in that regard that GTX Titan excels. The Nvidia GTX Titan has total 2688 CUDA cores with the Nvidia 3D vision technology, Titan is quite capable of running every new game (BF-3, FarCry3, Metro2033, Crysis3 etc.) at the full 2560x1600 resolution without a blur and I can assure you that FPS never drops below 45 whereas human eye can see only 30 FPS so that’s enough to me. The Nvidia GTX Titan has the feature for user to set temperature and govern the GPU to stay under that temperature or you can go for band and Nvidia GTX Titan will runs at 1.3 Ghz and blast everything in competition or you can manually set clock speed, Fan speed, Voltages as well and it’s called “ GPU Boost 2.0” by Nvidia.
Now lets take a look at BenchMarks….
Nvidia GTX Titan has 6GB-GDDR5 memory, 2688 CUDA cores (GTX 680 has only 1366) and it really out class every other single GPU card in benchmarks. The Nvidia GTX Titan is expensive but it perform well above the single GPU scores barrier, previously set by GTX 680 and it really compete with ASUS Ares II which is ( 2x AMD 7970 inside ). Nvidia GTX Titan has the option to be run in 2 way / 3 way SLI setup as well. The Nvidia GTX Titan is also capable of Nvidia 3G-vision and the 2688 CUDA core help very much in tessellation and effect in games ( DX11 games ) and some applications which supports CUDA technology. Overall Nvidia GTX Titan is of high price and No doubt, it’s the fastest single GPU card in market today and no one (single GPU card) come even near to it.
- Fastest single GPU card in market today..
