Nvidia's flagship Titan graphics card quietly received a refresher today with the launch of the Titan Black. I say quiet because Nvidia didn't even publish a press release on the matter (a blog post got the job done), instead electing to focus their attention on the new Maxwell architecture.

Nevertheless, the new Titan Black is here and it features modest updates across the board (no pun intended). The clock speed is up from 837MHz to 889MHz, boost clock is now at 980MHz versus 876MHz on the original Titan and the 6GB of 384-bit GDDR5 memory now operates at 7GHz instead of 6GHz. The stream processor count is also a tad bit higher, too, at 2880 versus 2688 from last year.

The card is available starting today for $999, the same price the original Titan launched at.

In related news, Nvidia also rolled out new GPU drivers. Version 334.89 WHQL are said to boost performance by as much as 19 percent in F1 2013, up to 18 percent in Sleeping Dogs, up to 16 percent in Hitman Absolution and up to 15 percent in Company of Heroes 2.

The new drivers also include new SLI profiles for Assassin's Creed Liberation HD, Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry, Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut and The Crew. Additionally, Nvidia has included new 3D Vision profiles for Shadow Warrior, The Stanley Parable, Walking Dead 2, World Rally Championship 4, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, and Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon.
