But gamers should stick with the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti instead.
When the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (go.pcworld.com/20ti) launched with a sky-high $1,000 theoretical price tag and $1,200-plus actual price tag, some people speculated that it simply took the place of the Titan at the top of Nvidia’s graphics card lineup. Nope. Recently, Nvidia revealed the Titan RTX, a $2,499 behemoth that the company also calls “T-Rex.”
It’s certainly monstrous enough. Like its Titan V predecessor (go.pcworld.com/ tinv), the Titan RTX returns to the Titan’s roots as a prosumer card, with a focus on AI, data science, and content creation tasks. Nvidia’s flagship TU102 GPU packs 72 dedicated RT cores for real-time ray tracing and 576 tensor cores so beloved by machine learning tasks. That’s identical to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti’s loadout.
