The NVIDIA Titan RTX is currently available for purchase at NVIDIA’s website and the first gaming benchmarks have surfaced. Now while there are some channels that have reported some numbers, we’ll be using those from JayzTwoCents who is a reliable source.
The reason we’re only sharing JayzTwoCents is because some number from other channels seem way off (and they could have easily estimated their numbers instead of properly testing). I mean, I’ve seen a channel claiming that the RTX2080Ti was getting an average of 80fps in 4K on Ultra settings in Shadow of the Tomb Raider which is far from the truth (at best the RTX2080Ti, even when overclocked averages at 62fps). Another channel claimed that it was benchmarking the games at 4K on Max settings when in fact the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey benchmark was running only on High settings.
With this out of the way, here are the gaming benchmarks from JayzTwoCents. As we can see, the Titan RTX is faster than the RTX2080Ti by around 10fps in 4K on average and let me tell you that this performance boost does not justify the enormous price difference between the RTX2080Ti and the Titan RTX.
I mean, the GeForce RTX 2080Ti is already considered an overpriced GPU so I can’t see anyone getting the Titan RTX – at $2500 – just to use it for gaming. Yes, it can play games but there is no reason at all for PC gamers to invest on it, even when the money is no object.
We’ll be sure to share more gaming benchmarks when other reputable sources – like GamersNexus, HardwareUnboxed, Guru3D, AnandTech, etc – share their gaming results but until then enjoy the following benchmarks!
UPDATE:
GamersNexus has also shared some gaming benchmarks!

no money worth for 4 k
Not sure why are you posting this now, since I already gave this info few days back. But, like said before, this isn’t a GAMING card for the average consumer.
Nvidia has made this clear before as well. Anyways, I posted this same video 2 days back. Check it here.

LOL, why ! who cares about the performance of this expensive professional video card. not really worth for majority of us gamers.
If I had this kind of disposable income, I’d buy it.
lol
I don’t trust or care about jayz2cents he put texture filtering on performance which is a total red flag of stupidity. I trust few people apart from myself. Unless you OC to the max with a proper OC’d cpu and use no AA at 4k i’m not interested in any comparison.
If money was no object I would buy it. Still thinking about getting rtx 2080 in the near future.
“there is no reason at all for PC gamers to invest on it, even when the money is no object”
Not to be rude but it’s not for you or anybody else to be telling people how not to spend their own money. If a product offering represents poor value for money in your opinion then that’s fine but to express that subjective opinion as though it’s an objective truth isn’t smart.
P.S. I’m delighted to see that Tom’s Hardware didn’t make the list of “other reputable sources” following the controversy of their new editor-in-chief’s “Just buy it” article which I note they’ve since heavily edited in a desperate attempt at damage limitation!
John, you are posting this now ?, because I already gave this info few days back, but it was just for reference/OT.
Like said before, this isn’t a GAMING card for the average consumer. Because, Nvidia has made this very clear before as well, despite the card can still play Games, but that’s not the point, because we all know how expensive this product is.
This card wasn’t actually meant to target gamers, but more like the prosumer market, mostly content creators, developers, and scientists who can utilize the 130 Tera-flops for AI, data science, and other scientific/compute applications (having 16.2 TFLOPs of FP32 compute).
Anyways, I posted this same video 2 days back (first comment). Check it here (link below):
*EDIT*:
Nvm. Just got an email from JOHN. He actually overlooked/missed that comment of mine. Just some misunderstanding here, between us.
People will buy it for gaming though. There are people who pour massive amounts of money into personal gaming. Besides, its nice to know what might be on the used market in a few years.
such people are in the minority though. makes no sense.
People who play retro games are a minority too. I don’t have a problem with DSOG adding more articles. 75% of the articles here are for games I’m not that interested in but it doesn’t mean I’m going to stop visiting.
“75% of the articles here are for games I’m not that interested in”
For me it’s around 85% +. Hehe. 😀
No worries then. By the way, just out of curiosity, what are you current PC specs ? Just asking.
Which GPU are you currently rocking ? Mine is an RX 480, paired with an i7 4790 CPU. I’m still holding off to upgrade until next year, hopefully if NAVI comes out.
Or better yet, I will grab some other Model from NVIDIA instead, if the price/perf ratio is good and reasonable..
1080ti with an i7 4790k
I was able to get the GPU on kijiji (Canadian Craigslist) over a year ago for $800 CDN.
i7 I bought about 6 months ago as an upgrade from my i5 4670k. Still getting bottlenecks on some games, but not so bad.
I’m holding off on upgrading my CPU because it’ll require a whole new mobo+ram setup and nothing really entices me yet.
You can wait for AMD’s next-gen ZEN 2 CPUs, if you wish. These are going to offer much better price/performance ratio for Gaming, if rumors are anything to go by.
ZEN 2 will also be the first 7nm x86 CPU to hit the market too, and according to rumors, we can get almost 13-15% IPC performance boost/gain over the existing Zen+ processors.
Not fully sure about INTEL’s next roadmap though. They can also offer competitive CPUs, but as always, we need to wait for proper Gaming benchmarks, before making any purchase. But INTEL is still having issues with their 10nm process, like manufacturing delays, apart from other problems.
Even I need a complete overhaul of my system, should I plan to upgrade next year.
By the way, coming from an i5 4670k, I don’t think the i7 4790k was a very HUGE upgrade, imo. It’s a good proc, no doubt, but you should have gone for some other powerful CPU.
For the bottleneck, it all depends on the application/game, as well as resolution. In some heavy CPU-bound scenarios, there might be slight bottleneck, but not always (with the GTX 1080 Ti). Try to OC this CPU using a good liquid cooling solution, if need be.
I am definitely more inclined towards AMD for my next build. But as you said, have to wait for the gaming benchmarks. I don’t know much about the nitty gritty of CPUs. Generally, I research benchmarks and make my purchasing decisions based on that alone.
You’re right, the upgrade to an i7 4790k wasn’t massive, but its the best Devil’s Canyon CPU to my knowledge. It only cost me ~$100 after selling my i5 and I was happy to pay that for about 10-15% improvement. Anything better would have necessitated a new mobo+ram, which I didn’t feel like paying for.
As for bottlenecks, I’ve noticed it happening more in games released this past year. Hitman 2, CoD BO4, and SCUM all push my CPU to max usage, and then there’s games like Cities Skylines which are heavily CPU bound where I’m frequently below 30fps on big cities.
I’ve overclocked the i7 to 4.6Ghz which does make for a nice improvement of another ~15%, but I’m limited by my cooling solution. I have an EVGA single fan AIO which I bought mostly for aesthetics (I like to be able to see my mobo through my glass side panel). Had the Deepcool Maelstrom with a 2 fan rad but it died on me earlier this year, weeks after my 1 year warranty expired.
You are right. Gaming sites posted articles about the gaming performance of the Titan V as well. Nvidia doesn’t follow a set pattern with their naming conventions. The Titan, Titan Black, Titan Z, Titan X, Pascal Titan X and Titan XP were marketed as gaming cards but the last 2 Titans have not been marketed as gaming cards by Nvidia.
+1. Also, any sane gamer won’t shell out $2500 cash just to get some few more frames while playing modern AAA Gaming (not counting the exceptions tho).
If this isn’t a GAMING card, why is it supported by GAMING drivers? Or are you just suggesting Nvidia are scamming ignorant gamers? 😉
Well you can even use a Quadro / Tesla GPU with game ready drivers 😀
Need to re word some of the article, Because if money was no object as you say then most would certainly buy it!
There is a reason for gamers to buy it, Despite the stupid price it is giving the highest frame rates.
So if money was no object, Gamers would happily throw down the money for this card!
***yawn***
I’m waiting patiently for a replacement for my trusty Maxwell Titan X Hybrid. It still hangs with the best of the best, and does 4K/30fps or 1440p/60+fps on any game I throw at it. When they make an affordable card that can easily do 4K/60+fps “Ultra” settings across the board, on any AAA title…no tweaking needed…I’ll jump all over it.
This product actually offers a good value for everyone that wants to buy Acer Predator x35 and its Asus counterparts 35 inch VA panel with FALD and HDR1000, 144hz with 200hz overclock mode, 1440p 21:9
Since I already gave 2080Ti and Titans sold directly from Nvidia and they dont have local representation in sales department, my only chose is to use re-shipper and that will make an already expensive card at least 50% more expensive with import tax, express shipping and service fee
@JOHN, on some off topic news, some pics of the upcoming RTX 2060 card have been leaked. I think the 2060 will mostly come in a compact design, for mini ITX cases.
Have a peek:
