2017 Titan XP | Remember The Titans

Benchmarking the Nvidia Geforce Titan Xp 12GB against popular games from 2017 to 2023 using an average modern gaming PC.
Support Iceberg Tech: / icebergtech
For a 6 year period in the 2010s, the name Titan was associated with the cream of the graphics card crop. It was Nvidia’s attempt at creating a premium brand within their Geforce range that would attract customers with deep pockets willing to pay for the very best; however, that hasn’t always been what has been delivered in the final product. I intend to create a short series of retrospective videos to see how well the Titans performed from their launch to the present day - starting with the Titan Xp, a 2017 card facing staunch competition from Nvidia’s own existing GPU lineup.

You forgot one important thing. The Pascal and Turing titans had Quadro OpenGL features. If you were using CAD based software they were really good deal, especially the Titan RTX with its 24GB, that one still is. Unfortunately with the removal of Titan name, those features and production software optimizations went away. The 3090 no longer had them, it was no longer "semi-profi" card. Even tho Nvidia tried to market it that way. And TBH those features were added for the Pascall and Turing cards retroactively, same with freesync support. They were a reaction to the 16GB Vega frontier edition.

[@thomasschraubt7497]

The pro driver support and saved money by not having to buy the quadro cards should not be underestimated. That made the cards a real deal.

Ended up getting a blower RTX 3070 instead for just a bit more. I'd still love these to get a new lease on life with some thermal paste/pad reapplication and some FSR love too. They're still great hardware, even if long in the tooth.

[@thomasschraubt7497]

They got the professional drivers though. For anybody into this it was a bargain because they avoided the Quadro prices.

[@redslate]

People were pissed! Only a few months prior, 1080 owners had paid just $100 less than what the 1080Ti launched at, *and* they were forced to watch the MSRP of their cards depreciate $100 _on_ _top_ _of_ _that_ to remain marketable. Titan owners had paid *hundreds* of dollars more for what was effectively 'timed exclusivity' to have bragging rights on "the most powerful gaming GPU," only to see that title trounced by a card that cost 40% less. AMD had been overhyping the shit out of its next GPU at the time (which ironically led to Nvidia's knee-jerk 1080Ti in the first place), leaving AMD fanatics depressed as all hell, because nothing even came _close_ to the high-end of Nvidia's 10-Series at the time. Eventually, early 1080 owners got a rebate of sorts, but Titan owners with more money than sense were either stuck holding the 'old maid' or forced to shame upgrade (at full retail) to the Titan Xp (2017) or Titan V (2017) for marginal performance gains.

I still consider the the 1080ti to be a blessed GPU that I will forever cherish, but when I had that Titan Xp in my rig I felt like a god amongst plebians.

[@droptoasterintub297]

I own a TITAN Xp. It was, and still is, a great graphics card if you can get one for the right price. I snagged mine on eBay for just very slightly more than a 1080 Ti when Ampere and RDNA 2 was unobtanium at the time. For 1080p gaming, it's still very plenty even for high FPS gaming in most games. I did upgrade to a 1440p 165Hz display, however, and decided it was probably a good idea to upgrade to something faster like the 3080 12 GB. If it weren't for that, I would've probably still been using it to this day. I'll never get rid of it like the last owner did as Pascal was a legendary GPU lineup.

[@DigitalJedi]

I owned 2 Titan XPs in SLi at the time. Work was very happy to furnish us engineers with baller workstations with $3300 budgets. I ran them until the GPU shortage. Sold one for almost $500, bought a 12700K bundle at microcenter with DDR5, and up until this year that remaining lone Titan Xp soldiered on at 1440p until it was retired for a 7900XTX. I still have it in my "Player 2" PC with the 8700K I also bought with Gigabyte's money for when my nephew is over.

[@IceClawz.]

nice title, that movie is one of my favs

[@DESARD12]

Ah, the TITAN, a name that never carried with it much meaning, seeing as it was given to whatever nvidia could expect to sell at exorbitant prices *cough cough* TITAN X Pascal *cough cough* , but it sure as hell carried with it some insane performance. Back when I got into computer hardware, the TITAN Xp was *the* card, the fastest, most expensive "consumer" grade card, so it obviously made me dream about having such a thing. And, for a card 6 years old now, I'd say that if I were to have my dream fulfilled back then, I would be happy with it to this very day. Regardless of my dreams and past memories, it's still very cool to see what yesterday's best can do today. Maybe one day you can do a video like this for the TITAN RTX? Seeing as it is the last TITAN, I feel like it deserves a bit of love.

[@Apothecarii]

The comparison to the 1080 Ti and especially the crashes with any PL adjustments does make me wonder if your Xp is actually performing as it should in these tests.

[@DigitalJedi]

My titans xp 2016 in SLI ran both at 2113 MHz all the time (watercooled). Never a crash in all those years. Even had tri-SLI for a while, also no problems with stability watsoever.

[@mttrashcan-bg1ro]

I remember the Titan X Maxwell being a pretty good card as it had double the Vram of the 980Ti, which at the time, in 2015, that 6gb vs 12gb was a joke. The price was also a bit extreme, but hey, the Titan offered something over the 80Ti. The Titan RTX as well, had 24gb vs the 2080Ti's 11gb which means today the Titan RTX would still be pretty good to use only 4 years on. The problem with the Titan RTX and the 2080Ti is the price increase of Turing cards meant the 2080Ti was essentially the Titan and the Titan RTX was just a gold bar you could put in your PC. Still crazy to think that even though my 4090 is technically the Titan of the 40 series, it's still got stuff cut down from it to the point it's technically not qualifying of the Titan name, and it's probably why the 4090 and 3090 exist.

[@iancalandro8180]

God the Titans had such confusing naming, especially with the X Titans. I have seen so many pieces of tech journalism get this wrong. For those who are still confused: - The Titan X was released in 2015 and was based off the Maxwell 2.0 architecture. It's a little better than a 980 ti. - The Titan X Pascal was released in 2016 and was based off the Pascal architecture. It's slightly slower than the 1080 ti. - The Titan XP was released in 2017 (after the 1080 ti came around and made the Titan X Pascal stupid) and was based off the Pascal architecture. It's slightly more powerful than the 1080 ti, and contains a complete GP102 die. Titans are weird. There are other anomalies such as the Titan V (which was based off the Volta architecture, which is a deep-learning architecture that never made it to gaming, and was basically made to beta-test RTX and tensor cores) and the Titan Z (which was two Titan Blacks on a single PCB).

[@LawrenceTimme]

A titan v had hbm and not rtx. The rtx titan which came after had rtx and was like a 2080ti with more vram.

[@redslate]

Yeah, shit was confusing as fuck! Two "Titan X"s, so gamers informally referred to the 2016 card as "X(P)" only for Nvidia to release the "Xp" a year later. 🤬 Also "Z" preceeding "X" and "V" made *zero* sense. Only the "V" actually ever _stood_ for anything (Volta).

[@JamesSmith-sw3nk]

Good video. FSR3 might extend the life of 10 series cards, they are not officially supported but I've seen videos where it appears to work.

[@caprature]

At one point the Titan had a vastly improved FP64 over the contemporary cards. I wish Nvidia kept this trend. For certain workloads it was huge. The titan Z was one of these examples. Close to 4TFlops of FP64. Where as the Titan Xp only managed 300 Gflops or so. It would be interesting to test a titan Z in compute loads in 2023. For reference the Titan Z is equivalent on paper to double a RTX 4090 in FP64!

[@ProjectPhysX]

Good old Kepler! The high-end GK110 Kepler GPUs had a 1:3 FP64:FP32 ratio. One Nvidia GPU generation was enough to seed the wrong myth that Quadro GPUs had better FP64. Maxwell/Pascal/Turing dropped it to 1:32 for all segments, GeForce, Quadro, Tesla and Titan. Ampere/Ada dropped it further to 1:64, basically only keeping it for compatibility reasons. FP64-capable GPUs have become a rarity, today it's only a few of the the super expensive datacenter models, and some rare exceptions. All existing GPUs with >2 TFlops in FP32 are these, in descending order: MI250(X), H100 (NVL), MI210, A100, CMP 70HX, MI100, A30, V100(S), Titan V, GV100, MI60, MI50, Radeon Pro VII, GP100, P100, Radeon VII, W9100, W8100 Best cheap options today are Radeon VII (driver-limited to 1:4), and Radeon Pro VII or MI50/60 on the used market.

Damn! I remeber Titan series being the best back in the day

[@Sam-K]

Sounds like the "true" successor of the 8800 Ultra which was essentially just an overclocked 8800 GTX with a ~$250 price premium.

You can tell, that he had a lot of fun of writing the monologue.

[@stevethebeave]

Im still gaming my Titan Xp, hell of a card. Going to upgrade to a 4090 soon

[@MegaAdeny]

This series seems like the perfect place to test if the Titan V's supposed asynchronous compute performance actually sets it further apart from the XP in modern games than it would normally be! Quite a few of them seem to kill Pascal a little bit.

[@Mini360_]

had a mate of mine travel across the country to get a Star Wars collectors edition one of these second hand, think he only recently moved on from it too.

[@redslate]

Woof!

[@glown2533]

got this gpu when the 2080 came out got it for a grand and still have it to this day even after upgrading everything else

[@AlfaPro1337]

Titan Xp and Xpp beats the R9 Not-So-Fury series. Later, when Nvidia launched the Titan V/RTX, AMD pulled the same stunt, the RX Flop series/Flop VII!

[@Teh-Penguin]

If you still want to try a different cooler, do try! Your crashes might disappear with better cooling, even if the GPU did not approach TJmax in your tests. The difference between 60°C and 50°C can bring great stability.

[@DragonBane299]

Is it possible the Titan Xp was overheating during your tests? I can see that it was hitting 80-85 consistently across most tests, and I'm pretty sure clocks take a hit at 83 degrees.

[@IcebergTech]

There's a small amount of thermal throttling in a couple of games, yes, but not "overheating". It's all above the official boost specs.

[@CompatibilityMadness]

@@IcebergTech Undervolting does great on those high power but turbine cooled cards. Throttling depends on game/load (and fan curve), so not everytime you get a one, BUT you will pay it in loudness and/or quite high temps.

[@famousfighter2310]

11:13 smooth transition

[@damasterpiece08]

gpu rankings would be nice. also considering manufacturers nerf drivers to make new products look better, ac origins and watch dogs are still relevant benchmarking games

[@denikec]

FSR3 will be a game changer for these cards. You could add FSR framegen testing for these old cards as an experiment

[@jamescolvin8429]

As a US resident who wishes we were on the metric system, I find all the knocks against the 60 Hz rate funny.

[@redslate]

Yeah, NTSC has always been superior.

[@HD7970]

i had a titan x pascal with a 120mm aio strapped to it. thing loved 2ghz and the memory would take just about everything i threw at it.

[@user-pi2ez4yy1s]

Mocking anyone who bought a Titan XP in 2017 may be a 'bad look', but it still feels very satisfying.

[@Carstuff111]

I can say that I was pretty happy with the GTX 1070 I had, and I was blown away how well it was holding up to modern titles at 1920x1080. I now have an RTX 2080 Super and I can say I am extremely happy with it at both 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 resolutions in all the games I play. The friend of mine that bought my AMD Ryzen 5 1600X and Zotac GTX 1070 to upgrade from the machine he built in 2010, he currently has Forza Horizon 5 running at all high settings, with 2x TAA at 1920x1080 and gets between 90-135 FPS, and I have to say the game still looks better than Forza Horizon 4 running on my machine with everything cranked running on my RTX 2080 Super at 120-150 FPS. I am impressed at how well that old 8GB card is still holding up and it will soon be getting pushed to its limits with Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.0. I am curious to see the performance on that card now compared to when Cyberpunk released.

[@mtg1022]

Honestly very curious to see what the rtx titan is like in 2023

[@karsu]

The Titan XP was my dream card. I still use a 1080ti on my daily driver. I have no brand loyalty as I have had all 3 brands at one time or another. Currently running an Intel Arc A770 on my most current rig. Which felt more like a lateral upgrade as it performs barely better than a 1080ti. I have to admit the Pascal architecture and the 1080ti is my favorite graphics card of all time. It might be the greatest card line ever created. It gives me the same feelings of hype as the Riva TNT2 and Voodoo 3dfx days. Man, I’m showing my age. 😂

[@olnnn]

Maybe in some years if they get a bit more affordable you can get to try out the most interesting titan, the titan Volta. Meanwhile, for something more affordable how about checking out the oddball OEM variant RDNA1 cards like the 5600 non-xt, 5500 non-xt or the 5300 xt or non-xt, don't think I've seen much talk about those.

[@mrmcguru163]

as someone with a 1080ti who just upgraded from a 1200p monitor to a 1600p, Its a great card and no joke wont need anything in the near future, its pretty much the perfect 1440p card and will be a great 1080p probably till 25!

[@zgoaty9235]

Waiting on the Titan V video next 😈💀

[@cavegamer5989]

I have a titan Xp collectors edition. Does everything I need it to do. Not gonna upgrade till it dies.

[@Soda_King64]

Can you make a video about the GTX 1660 super?
