NVIDIA Announces TITAN V "Volta" Graphics Card

[cdawall]

@cdawall Benchmarks please. You know you want to.

LOL I am already trying to get one or four. Depends how electroneum works out for me

 

[R0H1T]

No, no, no, we have to get to the bottom of this. I mean, shall we let a company sell a niche product at whatever price they want? Where does this lead? /s

Oh sure, wait till we get Titan XV or the other abomination, Titan XVZ

Buy em all, build an AI that mines faster, profit

Wait, we have a say in this? Who do I write?

Actually, yes. That's capitalism. If it doesn't sell, then they won't release future similar products at that price.

Of course we do. 1 million rants on TPU forums and the price gets halved. /s

Did you really miss my /s (aka "end sarcasm")?

Sadly, it appears I did. My apologies.

So nVidia if we spend $3000 is there a guarantee that it can run Crysis 3 @ 4K 100% Maxed out with no less then 60FPS . Please answer nVidia crysis 3 was released in early 2013.

I don't even think that was a good game, who' still playing it after almost 5 years?

 

[Fluffmeister]

What are you talking about? AMD have THIS card! The most beautiful card ever made!!!!!
If you already have a card with minuscule PCB and a humongous heatsink, it's a WIN, NO question asked!

Spoiler: 0><0

It's funny isn't it, even big Volta has hit the market before custom Vega.

Poor Volta.

Wait for the consumer gaming version without the Tensor matrix compute cores. I'm still curious to see benchmarks though of course, like everyone else. I can't imagine too many takers for gaming.

No FP64

Tensor cores are 4x4 matrix FP32 FP16 FP16 FP32

The big V100 only has 32 FP64 units same as P100. Not sure if this one has the same or not.

 

[xorbe]

Hah, that's what I get from trying to simplifying from Tensor to fp64, swing and a miss! Thanks.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Pretty sure it's a double precision monster:

This is one Titan card haters can't say isn't aimed at compute workloads.

You can thank me later.

Hopefully it is. The P100 had 1/2 DP as well but that got cut down on the Titan variant as the chart shows. They cut the L cache a bit as well from the information so far.

The Quadro part is always more powerful so who knows how they are positioning the parts until full details come out.

Well put your credit card away for now, I'm sure it will become clear in the coming days before you pull the trigger.

I was hoping you, xkm or rez will hook me up

Sadly, despite the common misconceptions, me and Nvidia aren't charities.

 

[R-T-B]

Oh boy, if you think a $3,000 Nvidia video card is going to beat a gaggle of RX 580s in mining then you just speaking out your butt. There is no universe in which this Volta GPU will beat 15 RX 580s in mining, especially considering AMD has a large performance advantage in that category. One RX 580 alone gets around a GTX 1080s performance in mining. Also, da fuq does "marketing" have to do with video cards?

Please proof read your comments and study up on mining.

It depends on the coin actually. NVIDIA cards are much more competitive today.

If not better.

Pretty sure it's a double precision monster:

A compute monster in general ? Yes.

DP monster ? I'd say hardly anything to that degree ...

 

[jabbadap]

A compute monster in general ? Yes.

DP monster ? I'd say hardly...

Tesla P100 sxm2 version had 5.3TFLops of fp64 power, if this card has unlocked fp64 it would be ~7.4TFlops of fp64.

Hopefully it is. The P100 had 1/2 DP as well but that got cut down on the Titan variant as the chart shows. They cut the L cache a bit as well from the information so far.

The Quadro part is always more powerful so who knows how they are positioning the parts until full details come out.

Well unlike the pascal titans(gp102s full fp64 was 1/32), gv100 chip is capable for 1/2 fp64 so there is some hope at least.

No FP64

Tensor cores are 4x4 matrix FP32 FP16 FP16 FP32

The big V100 only has 32 FP64 units same as P100. Not sure if this one has the same or not.

If one chip have 32 fp64 units it can do 64 single precision floats so 64 fp32. 1/2 fp64/fp32 ratio is the full fp64 hw.

 

[Fluffmeister]

A compute monster in general ? Yes.

DP monster ? I'd say hardly anything to that degree ...

I'd say 7 TFlops was pretty good, but fair enough. /shrugs

Poor Volta.

This is now the second card (after 1070 Ti) that NVIDIA released but didn't need to.

AMD, on the other hand, absolutely needs custom Vega variants to be released but they're nowhere to be seen.

People bitching that NVIDIA is ripping customers off by charging $3,000 for a graphics card, would be much better served directing their ire at AMD for failing to provide anything resembling competition.

 

[Vya Domus]

AMD for failing to provide anything resembling competition.

That has absolutely nothing to do with anything I'm afraid.

It's safe to say people should be intelligent enough too look at the feature set of this card and realize that it is not meant to go up against any other consumer product currently on the market , not even one from Nvidia's own product stack.

This absolutely blows my 1080 out of the water, 2.15x faster, 1.42x faster than TXp, which is already a powerhouse. I hope we get a gaming variant of this next year. Jumping from a 1080, I would not mind paying $800 or even $900 for a 1180Ti if it's 2x faster.
