I remember TotalBiscuit mentioning how a game a long time ago, was so poorly unoptimized that his own rig with the Titan was having trouble. Times have changed...
@Micromation Nowadays we get a lot more unoptimized games but they don't run that badly. Having a game run so badly even on the best possible hardware can't run it is impressive in some way. The devs went oh well looks like everyone who wants to play the game will have to wait for better hardware. You might be able to pull that shit with games like Crysis which at lower settings looked like a completely different game and ran much better. As far as I remember the game TB was testing didn't even look good. This must mean the devs didn't even enable the most basic optimization like only rendering what's visible on screen.

@@mauree1618 Unfortunately, yeah. Bear with me for the long comment: The strangehold that NVIDIA has due to them technically having better performing cards than AMD at the high end for CUDA compute tasks is basically making them get away with making the GPU market be terrible. And AMD isn't really in the capacity to take over compute any time soon even with the supposed improvements with ROCm/HIP given how fragmented their support for compute is to begin with even if CUDA wasn't dominant (the RX 5000 series is mostly left dead on the water compared to the RX 6000 and 7000 series; and the 7000 series has some better stuff than the 6000 series for no real reason). Not to mention both NVIDIA and AMD have nerfed bandwidth capabilities for the GPUs that have been put on the entry level/1080p category. Like the atrocious 64-bit bus for the GTX 1630 and RX 6500 XT on top of being terrible GPUs is already obvious. But even the well renowned cards like the RX 6600 XT have been critiqued to be limited in bandwidth for no reason other than saving costs for production: the RX 6600 XT has a 128-bit bus compared to the RX 5700 XT that has a 256-bit bus, which matters because the gap in performance with how better the RX 6600 XT is is not that wide compared to the RX 5700 XT, when it could be even wider for more games if the bus width hadn't been stifled to be halved essentially.
@@mauree1618 The RX 7900 XTX offers the same amount of VRAM as a 4090, for half the price. While the ecosystem is generally better for ML on Nvidia cards, removing such essential features weakens their position in this field. Many ML folks would have happily added a second 4090 to their Workstation.
How did you set up the environment for OpenCL programming? Also, what kind of training materials did you use? I tried to pick up OpenCL a few years ago, and the most up-to-date textbook was "Heterogeneous Computing with OpenCL 2.0", which is a book published in 2015. OCL_SDK_Light was the sdk.
@@mauree1618 And, the RTX 4060 16gb's bandwidth limitation cripples the performance. It is only good for launching larger models, but the token/second rate is poor. It is considered a good card for some use cases, but not for speed.

It's amazing how much these cards depreciate, the 3090 for instance is like 1/3 the price already, can't imagine what the 50xx launch will do the 40xx prices.
I've been rocking a "gold sample" Titan Xp since 2017 until I upgraded to a 4080 Super this year and I've been very, very happy with how much mileage I got out the card.
2017 feels like last week, time after 2020 went lightspeed quickly, gta 6 trailer was 6-7 months ago already and I swear I watched it at the video release date and it was yesterday
My conclusion, the world is changing so much that our brains stopping fully comprehend the changes (social media addiction, singularity from the technological stand point is near) it's feels like our brains processing the data so fast that we're not able to "live" in the moment, but in reality the opposite it's happening, our brains create the time frame gaps as it's have hard time to comprehend what's is going on around us which feelis like a void, losing part of memory from specific time frame.

Great analysis on the Titan XP's longevity and value for money, even now in 2024. Your reflections bring up some solid points as to why considering used GPUs might actually be worthwhile, especially for those on a tight budget.
i had 1080ti and was blown away by the performance ngl. I didnt see many people who had the titan but ofc ive seen few videos and it was insane back when it came out. The leap of performance that we had that generation was mindblowing.
Finally someone mentioned this GPU over the GTX 1080Ti, I got two of those and did an SLI with them! It's the most beautiful thing you can get with this power, matching the RTX 3090 for half the price...
the 100 watt power difference can make a big differance in europe. we had a phase in germany where 1kWh costed 54ct. so 100 watts more for the same performance is something to take in account
the 4060 still isn't the best option, as he said the 3070 is just plain better, checking second hand prices quickly in france, it is also only 190 euros. AMD's 6700XT is also a really option if you don't need CUDA

Why is it crazy that a 4060 beats the old kingpin of the 10 series, that is around 7 years of improvement. I'd be extremely pissed if my modern cards were being beaten by something approaching a decade old.
Well sort of, if you take the XP and 4060 up to 1440p and beyond with high texture settings, the graph will shift. The 384-Bit Titan will out power the 192-Bit 4060.
Wouldn't the Titan V be the fastest "GTX" GPU? Neither technically have the prefix, but if you're counting "no hardware RT" as GTX then the Titan V qualifies. It does have tensor cores though, so it's a bit in between.
I agree fastest "GTX" should be claimed by Titan V. Note : Tensors on it are incapable of running DLSS, so they are useless for gaming, and Volta does not support Mesh Shaders (while newest GTX [1660 series], does). Also, Titan V might get software throttled from P2 CUDA compute state (if driver thinks you are running such workload). Both Titan Xp and V are similar in blower style cooler being the limiting factor (while getting 1080 Ti with custom air cooler is easy), and should be heavily undervolted (~0.8V range GPU voltage), to not drop performance when you PC heats up after 1h+ of gaming session.
@@b127_1 It's just marketing name. If GV100 was ever released on GeForce line (like GM200 and GK110 before it), it would be under "GTX" series since it's almost on par with GTX 1600 series feature set (just "lock" it's Tensor cores, and you have "GeForce GTX 1690 [Ti]" card). What it's called now under Titan series is irrelevant.
This video thumbnail made me buy one. I watched this after purchasing. Honestly surreal, I paid $150 on eBay from a seller with a good rep. I bought the 1060 6GB when it was new and I was still in high school, haven't upgraded until now (still on PCIe Gen 3). Very weird getting the card I dreamed of having as a high schooler for half the price I paid for my 1060.
I just saw this video a couple of days ago and I decided to upgrade from my busted, frequently crashing RX 580. Just got it all setup today and it is working fabulously. Thank you!
I was on a 1080ti until 2 years ago and it still served me very well at 1440p. Upscaling was necessary in newer games like dying light 2 but I never had a bad experience using it
The 1650 is one I picked up for around the same price, and it's an absolute trooper. Going on 2 years. I may need a fan replacement soon but we're still going strong.
@@Ziv_ The Titan XP was just a Titan X Pascal that we dubbed the Titan XP because of it being on pascal, to not confuse it with the previous gen Maxwell Titan X. The 1080 Ti came out, and was faster than the Titan X Pascall. So Nvidia released another Titan with the official branding "Titan Xp" Offically with the little p. meant to be faster than the 1080 Ti, but barely. Had 12gb vram still over 11gb of the 1080 Ti. But solely existed because Nvidia cannibalised their own first Pascal Titan.
Bro this bring me back when I taught that I would be able to buy a 2080 ti for less when 50 generation will come. And now 50 generation is almost being released
Already has been, it was ~150 a few days before this video. RTX 2080Ti is also something people should strongly consider an keep an eye on, it is way better than all RTX 3060 models plus it is about the same price used. Another thing 2080Ti model was the stripped down version of the Titan as in they were lazy an just added parts to the Ti to make it a titan basically the 2080Ti is a lot better than it got made out to be an it can be had for cheap. Both of those models though are generally better than a current RTX 4060, and they come in under half the price on the used market.
Wait, so you could build a server, with Dual Titans, 5800X3D, 32GB RAM, 4TB storage, for roughly the same price as just a 4070ti....then you could setup Proxmox and have a crazy bad ass self-hosted fully-virtualized-gpu gaming server....insane.
Okay but to be fair, dude said "for a budget build today" and tests it on a 1440p monitor. If someone's building with a budget that allows them to only get a used card for 200 bucks at max, they're not gonna be rocking anything 1440p, I can guarantee you that. Other than that, great video.
The GTX Titan Xp is still in my computer. Every month, I purchased one component and then spent dozens of hours to build my watercooled PC in an ITX ANTEC Striker case. I'm still quite proud of it.
In 2020, I sold my 1070ti and got the TitanXp used for 400€. And i'm still using it in my rig. The biggest flaw of it was the stock cooler, it saturates with heat and starts thermal throttleing. Got an AIO cooler with the NZXT gpu mounting bracket for it, and now It works perfect. I have set the power limit to 120% in afterburner, and it works flawlessly, boosting to max clock with no dips. The performace gain is very noticable over the stock cooler.
I bought a Titan X Pascal 8 years ago for my first custom PC, and the GPU is still running strong in my build. I have to admit it was overkill at that time, but it is funny to see those cards compared to modern ones. Makes me think i have to upgrade my GPU now...
I had bought one of these cards for $192 in total (counting sales tax and shipping) and used it for my first gaming PC I had built myself. It managed to get a consistent 30 FPS at max setting in Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, at 4k on my smart TV. The TV was 30 Hz, which is why i had 30 fps with VSYNC. It somehow managed to turn on ray tracing as well, and it did somewhat work on top of the ultra preset, at 4k as well. For the right price, these cards are at least worth looking at for budget builds, or even for making a PC with the intent of playing older titles. It also did very well in VR with my Rift CV1.
me and my wife still using the GTX 1080 since it came out, and it doesn't disapoint especially seeing all these GPU prices hike. only recently we looking to upgrade, we even built a brand new computer with new parts all but the GPU, and it runs great still. maybe we will upgrade when the 5000 series come out from nvidia next year then I will bite the bullet only for blackwells.
I remember when the Titan X was that unreachable card. Nobody had it, nobody knew anyone who had it. Nobody even WANTED to buy one. I recently asked myself "What happened to the Titan series?"
What saves the Titan is the VRAM. You're able to crank up those settings and back it up with it's cuda cores. The 4060ti is hardly capable of these settings purely because of the lack of VRAM
That 4060ti was launched at a higher price than the 1070, is 3 generations older and still has the same amount of vram. Can't believe so many people are defending it.

I remember TotalBiscuit mentioning how a game a long time ago, was so poorly unoptimized that his own rig with the Titan was having trouble. Times have changed...
I miss that man 😣
games don’t even get optimised anymore, they just blame everyone’s hardware
Did the times change though? It's the same story today with the amount of unoptimized garbage coming out 😂
... for worse.
@Micromation Nowadays we get a lot more unoptimized games but they don't run that badly. Having a game run so badly even on the best possible hardware can't run it is impressive in some way. The devs went oh well looks like everyone who wants to play the game will have to wait for better hardware. You might be able to pull that shit with games like Crysis which at lower settings looked like a completely different game and ran much better. As far as I remember the game TB was testing didn't even look good. This must mean the devs didn't even enable the most basic optimization like only rendering what's visible on screen.

Not really.

I got a Titan Xp for free in 2018, for my research with OpenCL programming. I miss the times where GPUs were 2-slot and
So because of the lack of VRAM are you forced to buy the highest tier of modern GPUs? If so then I'd say that their marketing ploy is working.
@@mauree1618 Unfortunately, yeah. Bear with me for the long comment: The strangehold that NVIDIA has due to them technically having better performing cards than AMD at the high end for CUDA compute tasks is basically making them get away with making the GPU market be terrible. And AMD isn't really in the capacity to take over compute any time soon even with the supposed improvements with ROCm/HIP given how fragmented their support for compute is to begin with even if CUDA wasn't dominant (the RX 5000 series is mostly left dead on the water compared to the RX 6000 and 7000 series; and the 7000 series has some better stuff than the 6000 series for no real reason).
Not to mention both NVIDIA and AMD have nerfed bandwidth capabilities for the GPUs that have been put on the entry level/1080p category. Like the atrocious 64-bit bus for the GTX 1630 and RX 6500 XT on top of being terrible GPUs is already obvious. But even the well renowned cards like the RX 6600 XT have been critiqued to be limited in bandwidth for no reason other than saving costs for production: the RX 6600 XT has a 128-bit bus compared to the RX 5700 XT that has a 256-bit bus, which matters because the gap in performance with how better the RX 6600 XT is is not that wide compared to the RX 5700 XT, when it could be even wider for more games if the bus width hadn't been stifled to be halved essentially.
@@mauree1618 The RX 7900 XTX offers the same amount of VRAM as a 4090, for half the price. While the ecosystem is generally better for ML on Nvidia cards, removing such essential features weakens their position in this field. Many ML folks would have happily added a second 4090 to their Workstation.
How did you set up the environment for OpenCL programming? Also, what kind of training materials did you use? I tried to pick up OpenCL a few years ago, and the most up-to-date textbook was "Heterogeneous Computing with OpenCL 2.0", which is a book published in 2015. OCL_SDK_Light was the sdk.
@@mauree1618 And, the RTX 4060 16gb's bandwidth limitation cripples the performance. It is only good for launching larger models, but the token/second rate is poor. It is considered a good card for some use cases, but not for speed.

My conclusion, the world is changing so much that our brains stopping fully comprehend the changes (social media addiction, singularity from the technological stand point is near) it's feels like our brains processing the data so fast that we're not able to "live" in the moment, but in reality the opposite it's happening, our brains create the time frame gaps as it's have hard time to comprehend what's is going on around us which feelis like a void, losing part of memory from specific time frame.

i had 1080ti and was blown away by the performance ngl. I didnt see many people who had the titan but ofc ive seen few videos and it was insane back when it came out. The leap of performance that we had that generation was mindblowing.
Finally someone mentioned this GPU over the GTX 1080Ti, I got two of those and did an SLI with them! It's the most beautiful thing you can get with this power, matching the RTX 3090 for half the price...
My friend is still using his Titan XP and it runs newer games on 4k at around 60fps. It was supposed to be a future proof card and it really was.
the 100 watt power difference can make a big differance in europe.
we had a phase in germany where 1kWh costed 54ct.
so 100 watts more for the same performance is something to take in account

Wouldn't the Titan V be the fastest "GTX" GPU? Neither technically have the prefix, but if you're counting "no hardware RT" as GTX then the Titan V qualifies. It does have tensor cores though, so it's a bit in between.
Yeah, Titan V is somewhere in between GTX and RTX. It has Tensor but no RT.
I agree fastest "GTX" should be claimed by Titan V. Note : Tensors on it are incapable of running DLSS, so they are useless for gaming, and Volta does not support Mesh Shaders (while newest GTX [1660 series], does).
Also, Titan V might get software throttled from P2 CUDA compute state (if driver thinks you are running such workload).
Both Titan Xp and V are similar in blower style cooler being the limiting factor (while getting 1080 Ti with custom air cooler is easy), and should be heavily undervolted (~0.8V range GPU voltage), to not drop performance when you PC heats up after 1h+ of gaming session.
The Titan V was never referred to as a "GTX" product. Just like the Nvidia Titan RTX, it was simply called the "Nvidia Titan V"

Already has been, it was ~150 a few days before this video. RTX 2080Ti is also something people should strongly consider an keep an eye on, it is way better than all RTX 3060 models plus it is about the same price used. Another thing 2080Ti model was the stripped down version of the Titan as in they were lazy an just added parts to the Ti to make it a titan basically the 2080Ti is a lot better than it got made out to be an it can be had for cheap. Both of those models though are generally better than a current RTX 4060, and they come in under half the price on the used market.
Wait, so you could build a server, with Dual Titans, 5800X3D, 32GB RAM, 4TB storage, for roughly the same price as just a 4070ti....then you could setup Proxmox and have a crazy bad ass self-hosted fully-virtualized-gpu gaming server....insane.
You built your first PC in 2017? That's surprising to hear. You've come a long way in a short time.

Okay but to be fair, dude said "for a budget build today" and tests it on a 1440p monitor. If someone's building with a budget that allows them to only get a used card for 200 bucks at max, they're not gonna be rocking anything 1440p, I can guarantee you that. Other than that, great video.
It’s weird how much time has passed. I remember watching benchmarks of this years ago
The GTX Titan Xp is still in my computer. Every month, I purchased one component and then spent dozens of hours to build my watercooled PC in an ITX ANTEC Striker case. I'm still quite proud of it.
In 2020, I sold my 1070ti and got the TitanXp used for 400€. And i'm still using it in my rig. The biggest flaw of it was the stock cooler, it saturates with heat and starts thermal throttleing. Got an AIO cooler with the NZXT gpu mounting bracket for it, and now It works perfect. I have set the power limit to 120% in afterburner, and it works flawlessly, boosting to max clock with no dips. The performace gain is very noticable over the stock cooler.
The fact a GPU from 2017 has more DRAM than my RTX 30 series card makes me really sad
I bought a Titan X Pascal 8 years ago for my first custom PC, and the GPU is still running strong in my build. I have to admit it was overkill at that time, but it is funny to see those cards compared to modern ones. Makes me think i have to upgrade my GPU now...
I had bought one of these cards for $192 in total (counting sales tax and shipping) and used it for my first gaming PC I had built myself. It managed to get a consistent 30 FPS at max setting in Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, at 4k on my smart TV. The TV was 30 Hz, which is why i had 30 fps with VSYNC. It somehow managed to turn on ray tracing as well, and it did somewhat work on top of the ultra preset, at 4k as well. For the right price, these cards are at least worth looking at for budget builds, or even for making a PC with the intent of playing older titles. It also did very well in VR with my Rift CV1.
I want this card just to have it, won't use it or anything. Maybe plug it in every now and then to see if it can still run things.
me and my wife still using the GTX 1080 since it came out, and it doesn't disapoint especially seeing all these GPU prices hike. only recently we looking to upgrade, we even built a brand new computer with new parts all but the GPU, and it runs great still. maybe we will upgrade when the 5000 series come out from nvidia next year then I will bite the bullet only for blackwells.
and its back up to over 400 dollars now lol, some listings are at 800 dollars
I remember when the Titan X was that unreachable card. Nobody had it, nobody knew anyone who had it. Nobody even WANTED to buy one.
I recently asked myself "What happened to the Titan series?"
they are no longer 182 dollars thanks to your video, and have began to rise in price again. thanks!
Most people were surprised because it feels like it was released just last week, but holysiht thanks for the reminder.
What saves the Titan is the VRAM. You're able to crank up those settings and back it up with it's cuda cores. The 4060ti is hardly capable of these settings purely because of the lack of VRAM
That 4060ti was launched at a higher price than the 1070, is 3 generations older and still has the same amount of vram. Can't believe so many people are defending it.
