Supercomputing in consumer form: Nvidia's new GTX Titan graphics card

[Administrator]

Nvidia's new graphics card GeForce GTX Titan costs more - £827 - than PlayStation 4 and the next Xbox put together (probably - hopefully). But that's not really the point when considering the most powerful gaming set-up that money can buy. And Titan is more powerful than what's inside those machines, make no mistake.

Titan's full specifications are laid bare on Nvidia's website. Titan powers games - on maximum settings and at resolutions of 2560x1600 - such as Skyrim at over 100FPS, Borderlands 2 at 60FPS and just-released Crysis 3 at nearly 40FPS.
