NVIDIA Titan RTX Graphics Card

Initially I had wanted to buy two 2080 TIs as they came with 11 GB of VRAM and would be twice as fast as their 1080 counter parts. When the RTX Titan came out, the 24 GB of VRAM caught my eye and knew it was the card for me. When i got the card, it took me an hour or so to get it working with it's slower brother, the 1080, but once I started playing around, it did not disappoint.My iray renderings come out much quicker, twice as fast as before. I'm getting double the framerate on every game i play- the card is so powerful that all games just go to maximum.While it's a little expensive, the card performs very well, it being hooked up to two monitors while my 1080 is connected to four, giving me six total. The only major draw back on this card, which can be negated by tuning the fan profile, is the heat. I had to use third party software to crank the fans up to near maximum when the card is under full load.Other than that, i've maxed the card out once with a single iray scene. Other than that, it's a solid buy.EDIT/UPDATE: So I've been using this card for almost a year; games, CAD, Daz Renderings. It's a solid card at 24 GB of RAM and i've managed to max it out several times on RAM. it's a champ to say the least. I managed to render 5 different 300 DPI 6 x 9 images in 5 hours - simultaneously.I definitely plan on getting a second card when the wallet allows. Please note the card's speed drops 200 mhz when it breaches 84 Celsius. a custom curve in MSI afterburner keeps it at 84 c or just under.If you purchase this card- there will be a delay for funds verification. so that 2 day becomes 3 or 4. Signature required. As for gaming- it utilizes about 1/5 of it's total processing power to deliver (I cap at 60 fps).

I hope to purchase a second soon, if I need it. I am using this card on both Windows 10 and Intel Clear Linux OS, and using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers on both. Intention is to code both for machine learning and RTX. I have tested it lightly on some games, and it appears to be an impressive improvement over my older model 1080 Ti. I did not buy the Titan RTX primarily for gaming. My rating for value for money is not scientific, but a seat-of-the-pants feeling, for how it cmpares to my 1080 TI experience. This is an expensive card with lots of memory that is useful for neural networks and compute shader algorithms, but it is an entry-level platform in this respect. You can double this with two Titan RTX, for 48 GB, but before you think that is a lot, look at the NVIDIA site for full-on solutions that cost much more. One thing to consider is that the twin blower fans pull air from one side, and exhaust top and bottom through a heat sink running the length of the card--these do not exhaust out of the backplane like a commodity gaming rig does, they exhaust internally on most cases. This means that you need to consider your chassis cooling design differently, especially if you plan to use two cards. I like the design, it is actually more flexible. Use an appropriate chassis, maybe not your old GForce GTX chassis. My ambient room temperature is 75 F degrees, and I have six fans exhausting from a 6U case with lots of room around my single card, which is on a Thermaltake 16x riser. The card is cool to the touch while writing this review, and warm for the 3D I have tried so far. Hope this helps someone, ok, now I must get back to work!

The TITAN RTX 24gb VIDEO CARD is a very compatible card especially with older versions of Windows.Compatible with, WINDOWS 7, WINDOWS 10, WINDOWS 11, etc...Just go to the NVIDIA.COM, DRIVERS DOWNLOAD page & select in the drop down menus, TITAN Series, TTITAN RTX, (Your Windows Version), then pick the most recent driver update from the top of the results & download then run & restart your PC.IT IS A VERY WELL BUILT VIDEO CARD AND IN MY OPINION IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY OVER THE MSRP.The "TITAN" LED light is a pretty bright light so if you prefer a darker PC build with low lighting then I recommend downloading & installing a software called "PRECISION X1" to manage the brightness of the "TITAN" LED light. CHECKOUT MY SCREENSHOT OF THE SOFTWARE, It can be dimmed down to a low setting or even turned off completely with "PRECISION X1".You will need to run PRECISION X1 each time you startup or restart your PC so it would be a good idea to keep it pinned to your taskbar or on the desktop for quick access.I'm very happy with this purchase because prior to the TITAN RTX I tried a used NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3090 FOUNDERS EDITION but I had a bad experience buying a used video card. Luckily I was able to return it for a refund and then I decided that a brand new TITAN RTX 24gb vram card was my Go-To card of choice even though it's an older model but this is still a real good card today. Anyone in doubt or unsure believe me it's fast enough for heavy graphics or art rendering workloads and it is also a very compatible card & I would assume because it's been around since 2018.

Hands down a powerful beast for a consumer card. Handles pretty much anything thrown at in like a champ. The 24GB VRAM helps a lot for rendering and high use applications (of which I almost exceeded at one point). There is some coil whine when under heavy stress, but I noticed it actually got quieter the more I used it. Fans are decently quiet and you can keep it under 84C it in most applications. Price tag is mighty hefty and is definitely overprice by at least $500, but the performance is there.

Great GPU. Powers all games at max settings and overclocks great with msi afterburner. Tops out at 45C with the custom water block I put on and crushes benchmarks. Some people will ding value for money but let’s be honest... if you’re buying this card you really don’t care about the money as much as having the “best” consumer grade GPU on the market. For the money it costs that is exactly what you’ll get.
