Nvidia Titan Xp 12GB Review
Why you can trust Tom's Hardware
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III
2560x1440 Results
This is our first time out with Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III. Dialing in this game’s highest detail settings imposes a substantial performance penalty. Its own tooltips claim that the High Anti-Aliasing option (which supplements FXAA by rendering to a higher-res off-screen buffer) can reduce frame rates by 50 to 100%. A 100% reduction sounds pretty severe to us…
Warnings aside, Nvidia’s GP102 averages more than 50 FPS at 2560x1440 in three separate implementations. A scant 6% speed-up doesn’t say much for Titan Xp’s extra resources, though.
3840x2160 Results
Thirty frames per second doesn’t look nearly as bad in an RTS as it does in a first-person shooter. Still, we’d suggest dialing a few settings back at 3840x2160 to improve performance.
Titan Xp maintains its 6% lead over Titan X.

With this card Nvidia completed the current generation of their graphic chips. They are onto new one...the best company out there.Reply

TMTOWTSAC GPU makers are really going to have to hope QHD, 4k, machine learning, and VR really take off within the next 4 years.Reply -
dstarr3 Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. If all you need a GPU for is gaming, go one step down, save hundreds of dollars, at the cost of only a handful of FPS.Reply -

I was thinking something similar while I was reading this. The Titan Xp represents the very furthest that the Pascal architecture can go. This current crop of cards from the 1050 to the Titan Xp will carry us to Volta's launch.
(wait, isn't there a card even smaller than the 1050? /shrug)
Edit: Why isn't this quote working?
Edit2: Figured it out =) -

I have to agree. Even though I don't like them as a company due to some of their business practices, I have to give them credit for being a stylish company that really pushes it and completes their line-ups - I like things to be *complete*... :-) -
AndrewJacksonZA Thanks for putting in the effort for this review, Chris! Appreciate your contributions around here. :-)Reply -

I believe you are talking about the 1030. This isn't really a gaming card however, it's more geared for e-sports streaming and HTPC type builds. -
hannibal Could you test this card with a water block?Reply
This seems to be monster that would really benefit from that... -
barryv88 $500 for a measly increase over the Ti. Add another $200 premium that Gsync screens cost over Freesync ones, and you've happily payed +- $700 Nvidia tax for the "New coolest kid on the block" title.Reply
Yeaaaa. Thanks, but no thanks! -

You know if someone handed you a Titan Xp you would stick it right in your box without a second though.

Yes. That's the one.
I mentioned it to illustrate that nVidia has a very wide portfolio with something for everyone. Pascal has been a terrific generation for nVidia.
