EVGA GeForce GTX Titan X SuperClocked

Top Con

Uses the older Maxwell architecture

In 2016, nVidia brought out the new Pascal architecture which replaces Maxwell. It brings significantly better performance, which means this Titan X card is somewhat dated. See More

Top Pro

Fantastic performance

The EVGA SuperClocked GTX Titan can handle games at insane fps at 4K resolution. The following games were running at 4K with the highest graphics settings: Dirt 3 runs at 92fps (the Gigabyte GTX 980 managed 80 which was the next highest), Grand Theft Auto V ran at 59fps (the next highest - Gigabyte GTX 980 - ran it at 40), and Thief ran at 41fps (2nd place only ran it at 31), Tomb Raider ran at 62fps (GTX 980 and R9 290X run it at 41). These are all fantastic scores. See More

Specs

Memory Clock:7010 MHz

Top Con

Annoyingly loud (especially when overclocked)

While not measured in decibels, one reviewer mentioned how he "often noticed fan noise while testing and while overclocking it was annoying at times". See More

Top Pro

Overclocking friendly

This SuperClocked Titan X has been further overclocked to 1252Mhz base, 1341Mhz boost, and 19023Mhz memory which can improve in-game performance by around 7%. See More

Top Con

Runs very warm

This GTX Titan X has temperatures measuring 35 degrees Celsius while idling, but warmed up to 83 degrees under a load. This is more 5 degrees more than the next tested graphics card (R9 290X), and 17 degrees warmer than the Gigabyte GTX 980 Windforce. See More

Top Pro

Attractive looking, yet still practical design

There are plenty of ports available, and the card itself looks amazing. The green GEFORCE GTX text glows, and overall feels like it's worth the hefty price it asks for. See More

Top Con

Insanely expensive

For the price of this card you can buy a lot of things more useful than a graphics card, especially when GTX 1080 cards offer so much for well under half the cost of a SuperClocked EVGA Titan X. See More

nVidia GeForce Titan X

Top Pro

Uses the brand new Pascal architecture

Pascal is much improved over the previous Maxwell architecture, and as such this Titan X stands head and shoulders above the others. See More

Top Con

Extremely expensive

Compared to the newer GTX 1080 cards, the Titan X doesn't offer much despite it costing roughly double the price of those similar performing GTX 1080 graphics cards. See More

Specs

Memory Clock:1251 MHz

Top Pro

Extremely efficient

Compared to the AMD R9 290X and GTX 980, the GTX Titan X ran at similar temperatures (~80C) under a load, while outputting significantly more performance. Power usage was roughly in line with the R9 290X, but more than the GTX 980 - but again, it was offering much more performance. See More

Top Con

Overkill for 1080p and 1440p gaming

This card offers no additional benefit for 1440p and lower gaming. For personal use, the only reason you should be looking at this card is for 4K gaming. See More

Top Pro

Amazing FPS when playing 4K games

BattleField 4 running at 4K yields a minimum FPS of 28, while the average is 37. Bioshock Infinite ran at at least 41fps, but averaged 55fps at 4K. Batman: Arkham Origins runs at a minimum of 55fps. The worst performing game was Crysis 3, which had a low fps of 23 but still managed to average 31 fps on 4K. Compared to the AMD R9 290X and nVidia GTX 920, the GTX Titan X constantly outperforms them by very significant margins. See More

Asus GeForce GTX Titan X

Top Pro

Can be cooled by custom means

There are available bracket/liquid cooling combos, which can keep this card much cooler than just the stock cooling system would be able to do. One customer on NewEgg.com claims that their Asus GTX Titan X never warms up more than 50 degrees Celsius after implamenting one of these solutions. See More

Top Con

Uses older architecture which is outdated

Pascal architecture is new as of 2016, and it brings tons of benefits over the older Maxwell architecture which this Titan X is based off. See More

Specs

Memory Clock:7010 MHz

Top Pro

Great for high resolution multi-monitor setups

Multi-monitor setups require a lot of VRAM, but the Titan X has plenty available (it has 12GB). This allows it to power multi-1440p monitors or at least two 4K monitors. See More

Top Con

Very expensive

The new GTX 1080 cards offer great performance as well at a fraction of the cost of this Asus GTX Titan X. See More

Top Pro

Good 4K performance for most games

Assassins Creed: Unity and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare 2 both had some troubles running 4K games on the highest available settings: both manages just an average of 17 fps. Reducing the settings slightly boosted performance considerably in COD: Advanced Warfare 2, shot up to 86 fps minimum without FXAA 8X enabled, although dropping down to medium graphics in Assassins Creed Unity only brought the framerate up to 34 fps average (29 minimum). Other titles like Dying Light ran at 40 fps (34 minimum), Evolve ran at 39 fps (minimum 31), Grid Autosport (with 8X AA) ran at 74 fps (61 minimum), and Shadow of Mordor ran at 66 fps (minimum 35). See More

Top Con

Runs very warm

The Asus GTX Titan X runs at 38 Celsius while idling, and up to 83 degrees when under a load. This is very warm, and there could be potential for thermal throttling, especially if you manually overclock the card. See More
