Titan RTX is Nvidia's new video super-board, which comes with a suggested retail price of $ 2,500 (about $ 9,650 in direct conversion). Employing artificial intelligence processing technologies and dedicated ray tracing RT cores introduced by the Turing architecture, the board has twice the memory of the RTX 2080 Ti.
In addition to the new top-of-the-line GPU, Nvidia also introduced a new rendering technology through Artificial Intelligence. The feature is a brand bet for the future, with the idea of creating fully computerized images in movies and games.

The new premium plate brings interesting technical specifications. Its graphics processor (GPU) comes with 4,608 CUDA processing cores and there are also 72 RT units dedicated to ray tracing. Equipped with 24 GB of GDDR6 RAM, the card has double the memory of the RTX 2080 Ti and positions itself more as a professional than domestic hardware.

This is because Nvidia highlights the processing power of the board for artificial intelligence and activities related to neural networks. Pushed by 576 cores AI processing Tensor, the board will be of sufficient quality to anyone who needs hardware dedicated to researching and developing solutions that involve machine learning. In the manufacturer's accounts, the board achieves 130 teraflops of processing capacity in these scenarios.

Gamers interested in investing in Titan RTX will have a model with processing capacity of ray tracing well reinforced, reaching the 11 GigaRays. The value is higher than the 10 achieved by the RTX 2080 Ti, more advanced GeForce line. Titan is expected to hit the US market in December, and has no date to disembark in Brazil.

Graphs generated by artificial intelligence
Nvidia also launched a demonstration of graphics generated by artificial intelligence, one of the brand's bets for the future of digital entertainment, from games to movies. In the demo, players can walk a few streets of a city driving a car. Although it has limited interaction, the video draws attention because it uses graphics totally created by the computer.

In an interview with The Verge, engineers at Nvidia mentioned a number of challenges that needed to be circumvented in order to achieve the final result: one of them is that without a "memory" the board did not remember the shapes and colors of each frame, distant than desired. Because of this, it was necessary to create a kind of memory so that the board could remember and synthesize more consistent images.

The manufacturer also recognizes that the technology still crawls and its actual commercial applications may be far from happening. Despite this, it draws an interesting parallel: ray tracing, which became a reality with the launch of Battlefield V in November, went through the same process of promises of revolutions. Futuristic technology, which simulates light, shadow and reflections more realistically in images, went through years of development until it became a reality.
