NVIDIA Announces TITAN V "Volta" Graphics Card

[bug]

30% seems like a best case scenario considering it has 30% more CUDA cores than 1080 Ti (5120 vs 3584). Tho HBM2 bandwidth helps too. On the other hand the ~500Mhz deficit hurts the final perfromance assuming you can hit roughly 2Ghz boost on 1080Ti and Titan V has 1455Mhz boost.

What i'm really intrested regarding GV102 is wheter or not they will increase the amount of CUDA cores (and by how much) by cutting out the Tensor cores and FP64 capability since cutting these out will free up space. Or will they cut these out and further reduce the number of CUDA cores to something like 4500 range?

Traditionally, lesser chips never had more CUDA cores. What would be interesting is if Nvidia somehow kept those tensor cores around because they found out a way to actually put them to good use in games. Unlikely, I know, but can hope...

4k 144hz? Nice dreams If it can manage locked 60fps, I repeat, Locked 60fps, minimum fps, on 50% of the titles at ultra settings, you can be happy.

 

[Vya Domus]

If they could afford something better they would and they might stop playing Dota or League of Legends 24/7 to try different games..

I can certainly guarantee you that is not the case. I know a crap ton of people that dropped mind boggling amounts of cash on custom PCs and ended up play Fifa and CS:GO on them.

I did a small table a while ago from one of TPU's GTX 1080 Ti review by adding certain percentages to the results in order to predict future performance. Hopefully someone finds these useful. Numbers are in AVG FPS at 1440p max settings.

Btw i got the name right (Titan V) but i doubt it will be 50% faster than 1080Ti. More likely 25% faster. Atleast at stock speeds. Overclocking may get it to 40% perhaps as OC generally adds 10-15%.

 

[R-T-B]

Ok I will take those old Titan Xp and Xs off their hands. $300 about right?

That's what I paid for my Titan X Maxwell on Pascal launch, so yeah.

It's not how it scales I'm afraid. Making tables based on hardware count is futile.

I'm aware of that. Ths this table is based on rather simple +xx% to existing results. Ofcourse newer cards will be faster but not by exact 25%. Maybe it will be 19,89%, maybe it will be 32,58% in some games. The idea is to give a rough idea how much more power is required to make 1440p 144fps a reality at max settings. Volta likely does not quite get there. For that we likely need Ampere but by that time newer and more demanding games will be out.

Tesla V100 ends up 60 to 80% faster than Quadro P100 in LuxMark, depending on scene, but is clocked 10% higher and has 33% more shaders.
Not sure how that translates to GV102 tho..

I could quote three full pages but..

After having sold crippled titans at exhorbitant prices now nvidia has decided to sell full core at even worse prices. Guess there are too many suckers in the world to justify these prices. At this rate dont expect x70 or x60 to come at last gen prices.

Dude, less than 1% of the population has that kind of spare change and it doesn't mean they want to spend it on a graphics card. If they do sell out it's because they only had a handful to begin with.

....total status symbol /epeen/ mines bigger than yours /bow before me peasants type move.....(they will sell out in like 5 minutes). The mere mortals among us will simply wait for the 1180ti....or something.

....oh my....who will be the first to cop a pair of these in sli (totally epic) .... Jayz 2 cents or linus,

None of you have understood what this card is meant to be, or meant to do. ITS NOT GAMING. ITS NOT MINING. Let it go.

Hope not, it would put AMD to shame...

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.

Well done you got the memo

This is useless, because you forgot there's more in a PC than just a GPU pushing pixels. Most notably, a CPU that will bottleneck even current day 1080ti's AND 1080's in several games on that list.

Feel liking buying vega now, just to stick it to NSh#tia!

Seriously, now they're taking the pi$$!

 

[Ruru]

But will it run Crysis?

 

[deu]

$3K?? ... Double the price of last gen. Is it the HBM2, can't be. Is it the Tensor cores? Will a Non-Tensor version be significantly cheaper?

The price is not set due to production-cost but due to demand.

This reminds me of the Vega Frontier Edition argument. Then too people were arguing that it is not a gaming card. So let me offer my opinion: it is not marketed as a gaming card. This is true as it does not have GeForce Titan branding but rather just Titan V. However as it has display outputs and uses GeForce drivers it is a gaming capable card.

Gaming capable =/= gaming card. A Quadro can be gamed on too. Doesn't mean it makes any sense to buy it for that purpose. Besides, these Titans from Pascal onwards are on a whole other level entirely than Vega FE or even the earlier Titans. That's why it is so idiotic to see the same comments return - it didn't make sense with the first Titan if you're being really honest with yourself, and it made even less sense with the Xp and this one.

A GPU is just a chip capable of processing in parallel. What you do with it, and more importantly, what it DOES BEST defines what kind of purpose its made for. It really isn't rocket science

I'm not sure how you generated that, but the +100% column is like never twice the value in the column for the 1080Ti.

No. There is a difference. Quadro uses different drivers that are not gaming optimized and also uses different cooler design. Titan uses GeForce branch and has the Pascal like cooler. When it comes to buying sense i agree - for 99% of people it does not make any sense to buy this for gaming. That does not mean it can't be used for it or that small number of people won't buy this for gaming exclusively. There is also a group of people who do both gaming and deep learning and for them this is the perfect card.

Yeah sorry that's minor error on my part. The last column is actually ??? (+125%) not ??? (+100%).

Multiply first column value by 2,25 to verify.

Damn, I'm good
No worries, I think it's useful if you read it right.

NVIDIA today released GeForce 388.59 WHQL drivers, hot on the heels of its surprise GeForce TITAN V flagship graphics card launch.

Same difference, it still is not a gaming card, but yeah, semantics. Everyone should buy whatever the hell they want, just call it what it is - and I'll still call everyone who buys Titans for regular gaming infinite fools.

And people will be dumb enough to buy it.. SHOCKER!

Those who have bough Titan's in the past have always ended up getting the short stick by Nvidia months later with a much more reasonably priced alternative that is almost as fast. I doubt this time is different. Tho i doubt these people with deep wallets care. Depending on how Nvidia decides to configure GV102 it may actually end up faster in pure gaming.

Nvidia themselves dropped the GeForce moniker from Titans some time ago, making it official even they're not sure what Titans are. Besides expensive

And people will be dumb enough to buy it.. SHOCKER!

If people buy this thinking they'll get 3x the FPS of mere mortals that "only" pay $1,000 for their video cards, then yes. But if someone has (a lot of) disposable cash and wants to see what the latest architecture to hit the consumer space can do, I don't see where the problem is or why they'd be dumb to do it.

3 grand and they didn’t even bother with new design

Nice hardware for in a vitrine then....
