NVIDIA Announces TITAN V "Volta" Graphics Card
NVIDIA in a shock move, announced its new flagship graphics card, the TITAN V. This card implements the "Volta" GV100 graphics processor, the same one which drives the company's Tesla V100 HPC accelerator. The GV100 is a multi-chip module, with the GPU die and three HBM2 memory stacks sharing a package. The card features 12 GB of HBM2 memory across a 3072-bit wide memory interface. The GPU die has been built on the 12 nm FinFET+ process by TSMC. NVIDIA TITAN V maxes out the GV100 silicon, if not its memory interface, featuring a whopping 5,120 CUDA cores, 640 Tensor cores (specialized units that accelerate neural-net building/training). The CUDA cores are spread across 80 streaming multiprocessors (64 CUDA cores per SM), spread across 6 graphics processing clusters (GPCs). The TMU count is 320.
The GPU core is clocked at 1200 MHz, with a GPU Boost frequency of 1455 MHz, and an HBM2 memory clock of 850 MHz, translating into 652.8 GB/s memory bandwidth (1.70 Gbps stacks). The card draws power from a combination of 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe power connectors. Display outputs include three DP and one HDMI connectors. With a wallet-scorching price of USD $2,999, and available exclusively through NVIDIA store, the TITAN V is evidence that with Intel deciding to sell client-segment processors for $2,000, it was a matter of time before GPU makers seek out that price-band. At $3k, the GV100's margins are probably more than made up for.

If I had $3K to drop, I wouldn't think twice. Wait for the reviews, this thing is gonna perform in TXp SLI range.
People who bought two of those pimpire Titans must be furious, nvidia stikes back with a fully enabled TXV a few weeks later.
Please proof read your comments and study up on mining.
....oh my....who will be the first to cop a pair of these in sli (totally epic) .... Jayz 2 cents or linus,
What you want to allude to is its lack of DP compared to AMD. But Volta is an AI design, the tensor cores will be useless for consumers not doing that work.
Good luck. Also, are those clocks a joke? I can't see anyone upgrading to this.
Oh boy.....AMD what is your answer?
This thing has freakin Tensor cores, meant for deep neural networks.
I am pretty sure this is still the cheapest solution for dedicated machine learning card, as I am not able to find any Google TPU for sale. So researchers will cash out this amount without thinking, atleast until AMD Instinct arrives.
