With my new shiny Titan X arriving today, I wanted to straight away getting some timings out of it so I put it into the dev product box, updated the drivers to 346.47 (Linux 64-bit) and ran nvidia-smi. It is returning its name as ‘Graphics Device’ rather than anything useful. Inside my software I check the card type to use some optimised code for the different architectures, but can’t really do that if there is no name to work off!
I was expecting it to come up with something along the lines of ‘GeForce GTX TITAN X’.
Don’t bother with the 349.12 beta driver, it doesn’t support the TITAN X according to the driver page and the release notes. You’ll have to wait for either an updated 346.xx driver or 349.xx beta/release driver.
“With the 346.47 driver, the TITAN X was simply shown as being a “Graphics Device” rather than the correct product string. This difference was simply due to the 346.47 driver shipping before the TITAN X launch. This week NVIDIA did release the 349.12 Linux driver beta and it does correctly identify the graphics card.”
Phoronix says 349.12 beta supports the TITAN X and correctly identifies the card, give it a try I guess.
