NVIDIA TITAN RTX: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started TITAN RTX sales 18 December 2018 at a recommended price of $2,499. This is a high-end Turing architecture desktop card based on 12 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 24 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 14 GHz are supplied, and together with 384 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is dual-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 267 mm. Two 8-pin power connectors are required, and power consumption is at 280 Watt.
