NVIDIA issued a press release for its new card, Titan Xp:
Introduced today [April 6], the Pascal-powered TITAN Xp pushes more cores, faster clocks, faster memory and more TFLOPS than its predecessor, the 2016 Pascal-powered TITAN X.
With the new TITAN Xp we're delivering a card to users who demand the very best NVIDIA GPU, directly from NVIDIA and supported by NVIDIA.
Key stats:
- 12GB of GDDR5X memory running at 11.4 Gbps
- 3,840 CUDA cores running at 1.6GHz
- 12 TFLOPs of brute force
This is extreme performance for extreme users where every drop counts.
Open to Mac Community
Speaking of users, we're also making the new TITAN Xp open to the Mac community with new Pascal drivers, coming this month. For the first time, this gives Mac users access to the immense horsepower delivered by our award-winning Pascal-powered GPUs.
TITAN Xp is available now for $1,200 direct from nvidia.com, and select system builders soon.
Don't shoot the messenger.

I usually stay a gen or two behind with AMD (currently R9 280, previously HD 7750 and before that HD 4850) and have been nothing but happy and they seem to run just fine no matter what OS I throw at them. Windows of course runs fine and Linux drivers have usually caught up with the hardware by then so that is rarely an issue. You can always go to Phoronix and look up whatever card you are looking at and they usually have Linux benches for it if you are wanting to go that direction.
Generally I find Nvidia runs a little cooler while AMD cards tend to last longer performance wise (it even has a nickname, AMD "finewine" because they age so well) so its really which matters to you more.
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.
