NVIDIA has announced Star Wars themed graphics cards:
Star Wars Fans: NVIDIA Has a GPU for Your Light and Dark Side
Collector’s editions of Star Wars inspired NVIDIA TITAN Xp GPUs
Byline: Bryan Del Rizzo
Tatooine, Outer Rim Territory-NVIDIA has announced two new collector’s edition NVIDIA TITAN Xp GPUs created for the ultimate Star Wars fan. The new Jedi Order™ and Galactic Empire™ editions of the NVIDIA TITAN Xp have been crafted to reflect the look and feel of the Star Wars galaxy.
As you already know, The NVIDIA Titan RTX is one of the most powerful graphics cards out there. It has a GPU base clock of 1350MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz; its 24GB of GDDR6 memory is clocked at 7000MHz, and has an effective data rate of 14Gbps. That’s a lot of unlimited power but unfortunately makes this a highly sought card by cryptocurrency miners.
If you’re a crypto miner reading this, please go get something like this Syncrobit Helium Miner machine instead. This limited-edition line of Titan RTX graphics cards should be left for us gamers and Star Wars fans to enjoy!
And what is there not to enjoy about them? These new Star Wars collector’s edition GPUs pay homage to the light side/dark side dichotomy, and contain hints of the Star Wars galaxy, such as the hilt of Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber and light panels reminiscent of the Death Star.
The Jedi Order GPU simulates the wear and tear and battle-worn finish of many items used by the Rebel Alliance, resulting from its diecast aluminum cover being subjected to an extensive, corrosive salt spray.
Conversely, the Galactic Empire GPU’s finish features simple, clean lines, emulating the high-end, orderly nature of the resource-rich Empire.
Both versions have multiple windowed areas to showcase internals and lighting, evoking each faction’s lightsabers, green and red, respectively. The finishes of both versions took over a year to perfect.
The retail box packaging also pays homage to the light and dark sides of the Force, with the Jedi Order edition bathed in white, and the Galactic Empire edition bathed in black.
Exclusive Pre-Order Access for GeForce Experience Users
GeForce Experience users get exclusive pre-order access to purchase(1) the Jedi Order and Galactic Empire TITAN Xp editions before the cards are broadly available in mid-November. Starting tomorrow, GeForce Experience users can purchase one card of each design by using their log-in credentials in the NVIDIA store.
Power! Unlimited Power!
The Jedi Order and Galactic Empire TITAN Xp GPUs use the NVIDIA Pascal-based GP102 GPU, each with 3,840 CUDA cores running at 1.6GHz and 12GB of GDDR5X memory running at 11.4Gbps.
Their staggering 12TFLOPs of processing power under the hood allows Star Wars fans to play any of today’s most cutting-edge titles at the highest resolution with the highest detail quality turned on.
Priced at $1,200, each edition also includes a collectible electroformed metal badge containing the insignia of their preferred alliance.
