NVIDIA Launches Modded Collector's Edition Star Wars Titan Xp Graphics Card (hothardware.com)
MojoKid writes: NVIDIA just launched its fastest graphics card yet and this GPU is targeted at Star Wars fans. In concert with EA's official launch today of Star Wars Battlefront II, NVIDIA unveiled the new Star Wars Titan Xp Collector's Edition graphics card for enthusiast gamers. There are two versions of the cards available -- the Galactic Empire version and a Jedi Order version. Both of the cards feature customized coolers, shrouds, and lighting, designed to mimic the look of a lightsaber. They also ship in specialized packaging that can be used to showcase the cards if they're not installed in a system. The GPU powering the TITAN Xp Collector's Edition has a base clock of 1,481MHz and a boost clock of 1,582MHz. It's packing a fully-enabled NVIDIA GP102 GPU with 3,840 cores and 12GB of GDDR5X memory clocked at 5.5GHz for an effective data rate of 11Gbps, resulting in 547.2GB/s of peak memory bandwidth. At those clocks, the card also offers a peak texture fillrate of 379.75 GigaTexels/s and 12.1TFLOPs of FP32 compute performance, which is significantly higher than a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. In the benchmarks, it's the fastest GPU out there right now (it better be for $1200), but this card is more about nostalgia and the design customizations NVIDIA made to the cards that should appeal to gamers and Star Wars fans alike.
Since JJ Abrams will be responsible for two of the new films, it seems appropriate to include special lens flare rendering cores.
But I doubt even NVIDIA has the magic ability to make JJ a good director.
Moychandising!
In 10 years it will be just as worthless as the standard one. Even while its good no one will know or care that you have it. About the only place you'll get to show it off is in your signature on forums. Might as well just lie and say you have one rather than pay the $1200 to feel justified in your signature bragging.
This makes as much sense as a 14.4 USR Collectable Modem or floppy drive, or CRT. Computer subsystems might gather dust in a museum but aren't going to be tooled around with like old cars.
This is just Disney doing a Scott Adams and sticking a logo on anything that has a shape. I never thought I'd say it, but this makes me think of Lucas as comparatively tasteful.

Do you have to pay EA extra to unlock all the GPU cores before playing Battlefront II?
I agree Star Trek is better but there seems to be some timeframe confusion. Star Trek died a noble death in 1999 and Star Wars in 1983 (ST went through some brief post-mortem spasms, but Insurrection and the cancellation of DS9 were unsurvivable). Everything since has been nothing but parading around their exhumed corpses in search of nostalgiabux.
...read that in the voice from 'Terrible Secret of Space'. It fit.
Does the video card come with a slot to insert your credit card for Nvidia DLC?

Seems to be the thing with Star Wars branding. Just sayin...
Thank you for the link. That video is... unique.
lucm, indeed.
Also the card sucks. It has 3 display ports and 1 hdmi port. There's simply no reason for that, unless nvidia stumbled upon a couple containers of discount display port sockets on alibaba.

So....how are AMD GPUs these days?
Will this Windows XP video board be fully supported under Windows 10?
I need four DisplayPorts, two for my Pimax 8K X and one each for my two monitors. I guess the HDMI connector can be used for my Vive until the Pimax arrives.

Which will be never, sucker.
See this post kids? Drugs are bad.
I thought display port was still a thing specifically because it supports splitters.

Three ports on a single card means that it can power 12 monitors, meanwhile because it has only 1 HDMI (and no dvi) you're basically fucked if you want to have what is completely normal, which is 2 monitors using HDMI and feeding desktop speakers from a monitor audio jack.
The day they have audio on display ports they can put as many as they want, until then we need HDMI.

I think a Russian bot has malfunctioned.

lucm, lucm, we did that...ten years ago:
Does DisplayPort also support audio?
Yes, DisplayPort supports multi-channel audio and many advanced audio features. DisplayPort to HDMI adapters also include the ability to support HDMI audio.
Recently, I purchased 2 1070s for a high performance computer at work, 2 1050s for home use and 6 1030s to upgrade some older computers.
What I really like about the 1030s and 1050s is the wattage. There is a minimal power draw, no extra power cables to the card, and no 1200 watt power supply to purchase.
At the moment, my 1050 is using 35 watts. That's money I don't have to spend on the power bill. I doubt that the people who purchase the Star Wars card will understand such concepts.
Your $1200 only buys you maybe 3 months at most of being the fastest card on the planet, after that is just more of yesterdays tech.

I've never heard of display port audio working without an HDMI adapter, which basically makes it less useful than HDMI.
