PC Gamer Show: All about the Nvidia Titan X

PCG Show 17 v1.mp4_snapshot_00.25_[2015.03.20_11.04.42]

Wes is joined by Maximum PC editor Tom McNamara to talk about Nvidia's latest $1000 supercard, the GTX Titan X. We talk about performance and answer the big question: should you buy it?

If your nostalgia centers are tickled by seeing ancient graphics cards like the Doom 3 6600 GT, stick around—we pull out a few and compare their specs to the GTX Titan X, just to illustrate how far graphics tech has come in the past decade.

As usual, we answer your questions at the end of the episode. To ask us a question for next week's show, tweet @pcgamer with the hashtag #AskPCGamer.

TOPICS

Wes has been covering games and hardware for more than 10 years, first at tech sites like The Wirecutter and Tested before joining the PC Gamer team in 2014. Wes plays a little bit of everything, but he'll always jump at the chance to cover emulation and Japanese games.

When he's not obsessively optimizing and re-optimizing a tangle of conveyor belts in Satisfactory (it's really becoming a problem), he's probably playing a 20-year-old Final Fantasy or some opaque ASCII roguelike. With a focus on writing and editing features, he seeks out personal stories and in-depth histories from the corners of PC gaming and its niche communities. 50% pizza by volume (deep dish, to be specific).
