All you alternative OS users out there should head on over to Phoronix to read their review of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X.

Last week NVIDIA unveiled the GeForce GTX TITAN X during their annual GPU Tech Conference. Of course, all of the major reviews at launch were under Windows and thus largely focused on the Direct3D performance. Now that our review sample arrived this week, I've spent the past few days hitting the TITAN X hard under Linux with various OpenGL and OpenCL workloads compared to other NVIDIA and AMD hardware on the binary Linux drivers.
 
And for our next project we will put this 6.2L Mercedes V-8 in a dishwasher.

Seriously though, it's neat that you can run it under Linux but who buys a $1k video card to only play CS:GO, Bioshock Infinite, and Metro?
 
There are some very good reasons to run a $1K+ video card on Linux, but gaming or a computationally gimped Titan X (at least for double precision, which is 10% slower than even the GTX 580) are not included.
 
Ugh, OpenGL. VULKAN needs more time to bake, then Linux gaming will get out of first gear.
