A new top-end GPU

It was speculated that Nvidia might announce a new Titan graphics card during GDC, and that's what the company did in a somewhat dramatic fashion. It happened at the tail end of an Unreal Engine panel. As Epic founder Tim Sweeny wrapped up his discussion on the state of Unreal, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang surprised attendees by emerging on stage to unveil the company's Titan X.
He called it the "world's most advanced GPU," though was short on details. What he was willing to divulge about the card is that it has 12GB of onboard memory and 8 billion transistors. For the sake of comparison, Titan Black has 7.1 billion transistors and 6GB of GDDR5 memory.
"It’s the most advanced GPU the world has ever seen," Jen-Hsun said.
He then presented the company's first production unit to Sweeny, though not before autographing the box in came in.
Nvidia will release more details about the card during the upcoming GTC event that runs from March 17-20.
