The New Titan X

PC gamers who have stuck with big, bulky desktops are being rewarded for not making the switch to gaming laptops. Nvidia has released a new generation of desktop graphics cards under the imposing name Titan X, intended to outshine the company's GeForce GTX 980 models, which were introduced in September, 2014.

These new cards, if purchased individually, would cost up to Kshs.112,000  But you'll want to budget for double or triple that amount, as Titan X is targeted at the most discerning of PC gaming hardware enthusiasts, who would rather stack two or three cards together at once in an SLI formation, or "Scalable Link Interface" -- where multiple graphics cards are daisy-chained together to maximize performance.

Rather than adding one or more Titan X cards to your current desktop, another option is to build or buy a new rig designed to house multiple video cards, although that's a potentially even more expensive option. Both of the early custom-built Titan X desktop gaming rigs we've tested have three of the new cards in an SLI configuration, along with top-end, overclocked Intel Core i7 CPUs, lots of RAM, and water cooling systems to keep everything running smoothly even when pushing the hardware.
A single Titan X card itself includes 12GB of GDDR5 RAM and 3,072 computational cores that are part of Nvidia's Cuda (Compute Unified Device Architecture) platform. In other words, these systems are designed to play even very challenging games at high/ultra detail settings at very high frame rates.

So for once this is a graphics card worthy of our attention. And if you're a PC gamer, it's worthy of yours too.
4K gaming has long been the dream for hardcore PC players, promising massively increased detail and way sharper textures than those you'd find on any piddling PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
Until now, the processing power and memory required to play the likes of Crysis 3 and Far Cry 4 in 4K at playable frame-rates has meant running multiple top-end graphics cards in tandem: prohibitive in both cost and power-consumption terms.
Enter the Nvidia Titan X, which finally makes 4K gaming possible on a single card.
