Nvidia reveals fastest single-GPU graphics card ever: the GTX Titan

CNETAnalysis: Nvidia has just unveiled the GTX Titan, the fastest single-GPU graphics card we’re likely to see for the next two years. Based on the full-fat Kepler core, the GK110, Nvidia is touting it as the first gaming super computer; one that you can chuck in a small form factor chassis. Titan means Nvidia has finally reached the top-end of the Kepler lineup. But Nvidia is not calling it a GTX 600 series card, mainly for the fact that it will definitely out-perform the upcoming GTX 700 series. The GK110 is the same GPU that’s at the heart of the expensive, professional Tesla K20 card. 18,688 such GPUs that were used in Cray’s latest supercomputer, the Titan. But it will be expensive. Expect it to come in around the £700-£800 mark. That’s a lot of cash, but considering it’s the same GPU you get in a £2,500 Tesla K20 that’s not actually bad value. AMD wants to be clear: ‘We have the fastest GPUs’ In terms of numbers, the Titan has 2,688 CUDA cores (896 double precision CUDA cores), 224 texture units and some 48 ROPs. It has a cited 250W TDP. The GK110 chip is vastly superior to the GK104 GPU we’ve come to know and love in the GTX 680. It’s got a huge number of CUDA cores in that massive GPU, a total of 2,688 compared with 1,536 in the GK104. It can’t match dual-GPU But that doesn’t make it the fastest overall graphics card. Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 690 and the AMD Radeon HD 7990 also make a good fist of gaming performance for similar money. The Titan also has a funky new iteration of the GPU Boost tech which is now based upon temperature, not on power as was GPU Boost 1.0. 14 best graphics cards for every budget That now means anything you do to your computer to make it run cooler is now going to make your GPU run faster. We can smugly tell you that we’ve been playing with three of these cards for the last week. We’re restricted on gi! ving you benchmark figures until we can bring you the review on Thursday, but we can say that when we plugged three GTX Titan cards in SLI into Unigine’s new Valley benchmark we almost wept.

In Depth: Could robots be the writers of the future?

CNETAnalysis: It might be concerned with aliens, outer space and dimensional jumping for now, but ‘sci-fi’ might have to be redefined if the latest advances in automated writing continue apace. Software that can construct sentences, analyse data and even put a ‘spin’ on a news story are threatening to make the newsdesk and the author’s writing room very different places. The end for journalists? Journalism isn’t complicated. The popularity of online news stories can be tracked – and therefore the importance of news easily ranked – while almost everything is written using the inverted pyramid structure . Since automated writing software can already do most of that, are we looking at the last generation of human journalists? Narrative Science’s Quill is the leading automated writing software title. It transforms structured data into readable, plain English stories that are identical to those written by humans, ...
