been designed and built by Nvidia and it was made with premium materials and components including a faceted die cast aluminum body that definitely has a very

solid feel to it.  The TITAN X is built around a radial fan and featuring two copper heat pipes embedded in the base of an aluminum heatsink

(http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PZYJS18), and it moves all heated air outside the chassis.

The connections are the same for all 3 Pascal cards.

Other Features of the TITAN X

Ansel has been Integrated into Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst and later on in the Witcher 3  this Month

The TITAN X also supports Nvidia Ansel technology, a game-capture tool that allows gamers to explore and share gaming art in new ways. With Ansel, users can

compose their gameplay shots by pointing the camera in any direction and from any vantage point within a gaming world, and then capture 360-degree stereo

photospheres for viewing with a VR headset (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&Description=headset) or with Google Cardboard.

The first game to support Ansel is Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, and Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, will be available later this month. More Ansel-supported games are in

development, including Epic Games’ Fortnite, Paragon and Unreal Tournament; Cyan Worlds’ Obduction; Thekla’sThe Witness; Boss Key Productions’ Lawbreakers;

Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s The Division; and No Man’s Sky from Hello Games.

VR Funhouse is now on Steam and adds TITAN X support

Nvidia VR Funhouse – the company’s VR carnival game – is now available for free from Valve’s Steam digital distribution service. Developed on Epic Games’ Unreal

Engine 4, VR Funhouse will work on GTX 1080 (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K5F8MJK), 1070 and 1060 GPUs with HTC (http://www.ebay.com/sch/Consumer-

Electronics-/293/i.html?_nkw=htc) Vive VR headsets. It will also be open sourced to developers and artists so they can create their own VR Funhouse attractions.  Of

course, the very best VR experience will be on the TITAN X.

Everest VR

Beginning today, Everest VR is now available on Steam.  Everest VR uses Nvidia Turbulence to create realistic snow drifts which react to wind and also interact with

blowing snow and debris accurately.  Nvidia’s Multi-Res Shading is used to achieve higher frame rates. Everest VR joins Raw Data and NVIDIA VR Funhouse as VR

titles that support it.

EVEREST VR guides adventurers through a sequence of first-person events to simulate the climb to Mount Everest’s summit. EVEREST VR is high immersion

VR and was specifically developed for the HTC (http://www.ebay.com/sch/Consumer-Electronics-/293/i.html?_nkw=htc) VIVE.

Let’s check out the test configuration.
