NVIDIA co-founder Jen-Hsun Huang excitedly ventured onto the stage during the Epic Games event at the Game Developers Conference 2015, to announce the Titan X, NVIDIA’s latest GPU.
Huang claims it is the most powerful GPU on the planet. With 12GB frame buffer and 8 billion transistors; it certainly comes across as a significant step ahead of NVIDIA’s current hardware. Titan (Titan X’s previous edition) used to be NVIDIA’s most powerful hardware.
Huang autographed the GPU’s box and gifted the hardware to Epic Games’ co-founder Tim Sweeney. Huang came to the stage after Sweeney gave a lengthy speech about the convergence of photorealistic imagery, film, video games, architecture, industrial design, and virtual reality. “This GDC is all about VR. And there are all these demos that are just unbelievable… [it] needs an amazing GPU,” said Huang, implying NVIDIA’s Titan X is a step in that direction.
