And the Titan will be no less than 50% faster than the GTX 1080, so the whispers on the graphics grapevine claim.

That’s some pretty awesome performance right there – because let’s face it, the 1080 is hardly a slouch. As we noted in our review, it can handle 4K gaming quite nicely in most titles provided you’re willing to tweak down your anti-aliasing settings a bit (and at 4K resolution, that’s not so much of a sacrifice).

There will apparently be two versions of the Titan P, one with 12GB of memory and the other boasting 16GB (both will use HBM2 memory).
