About the NVIDIA TITAN X (Pascal) GPU

The NVIDIA TITAN X (Pascal) is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2016 with a MSRP of $1,199. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP102) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.

Memory

The TITAN X has 12 GB of GDDR5X memory, with a 1,251 MHz memory clock and a 384 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 480.4 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The TITAN X includes 3,584 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,417 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,531 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 224 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 96 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The TITAN X occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 2.0, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 250 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The TITAN X has the 55th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 34.37% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 35,995 score and $1,199 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 30.02. This is the 79th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q1 2010 with a MSRP of $349. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF100) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 470 has 1,280 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 837 MHz memory clock and a 320 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 133.9 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GTX 470 includes 448 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 607 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 40 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 470 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, mini-HDMI 1.3a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 550 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 215 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 470 has the 266th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.15% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 4,342 score and $349 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 12.44. This is the 94th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
