A quick peek into the future
In the land of video cards, Nvidia's GTX Titan is generally considered the king. The original gangster came out in February 2013, followed by the Titan Black a year later, each sporting an unprecedented 6GB of RAM, 7 billion transisters, and more shader processors than you could shake a stick at (eventually tipping the scales at 2880). Nvidia capped it off in March 2014 with the Titan Z, which put two Titan Black GPUs on one card. And now it's been nearly a year since we've seen activity from them on the super-premium end. But the company hasn't been idle. Today we got up close and personal with this obsidian brick of magic, the GTX Titan X.
How close? This close:

Unfortunately, we were forced to double-pinky swear that we wouldn't give you any specifics about the card just yet, other than the fact that it's got 12GB RAM, eight billion transistors, and is probably the fastest video card on Earth. But we can confirm that it was running several live demos on the show floor of the Game Developers Conference this week, conducted by Epic, Valve and Crytek. This is obviously not going to be a paper launch -- the card is already here. The Titan X is just waiting in the wings until it can get a proper introduction at Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference, which starts on March 17th. In the meantime, we took some nifty photos for you. Hope you brought a bib for the drool!
