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.

Now consider that (a) this isn't the top-tier fully-enabled Volta part (b) Navi is nowhere to be seen and it's pretty obvious that NVIDIA is kicking AMD while they're down, and enjoying it.

If a cut down 300mm2 GP104 with DDR5 256-bit on 1070Ti can come close to the behemotic Vega 64 then they should have no trouble matching Vega 64 with their next gen 1160 card, now what's stopping them from pricing it at $350, next gen 1170 at $550 ? Not that 1080/V64 performance at $350 isn't good value, it's pretty decent considering it should drive a 1440p display pretty comfortably , but with competition from AMD it might as well be $230.

1160 will be 300-350
1170 will be 500
1180 will be 650-700
1180Ti will be 800 if it comes late, 900 if it comes early.

How many dozens will be available next year? There's still jack for HBM2 to go around and they're trying to stock pile for Quadros.

Good luck. Also, are those clocks a joke? I can't see anyone upgrading to this.
I wasn't referring to how many will be available starting next year but how many different Titans there will be with Volta architecture. we know that NV likes releasing a titan then another one fully unlocked on same architecture and of course bump price. Starting form 3 grand nice. Maybe the clocks will be adjusted with next titan on Volta architecture :)

Benchmark Scores 3050 scores good 15-20% lower than average, despite ASUS's claims that it has uber cooling.
Not that much different according to their claim :

What would be the point of Tesla like perf card for a third of price?

I'm shocked with price but not satisfied with performance.
Performance of this model could pass as new generation as good but nothing special improvements.
Do you remember Maxwell to Pascal difference, or Kepler to Maxwell, almost 80%, with far lower price difference.
But situation is even worse, because normal customers will get 70% of this GPU, that mean they will pay arround 800$ for 10-20% stronger card than TITAN XP.
Except if NVIDIA plan completely to screw buyers and offer same performance later for less than 1000$ when AMD launch new model.
If they launch 70% of TITAN V performance, or 80% from my perspective Volta is fail and culprit is AMD. Because these performance they will not catch up to 2020.
Until than NVIDIA will launch 3 TITANs worth 2000-3000$.

5120 Cuda consumer card would be double the GTX 1080. so expect double or lower price which is not bat at all even if 2 years would have passed since the initial release and we deserve half price. just like GTX 1060 was the equivalent of GTX 980 for 250$ less.

TITAN X Maxwell was same as TITAN Black SLI.
Lack of competition just destroy us enjoying in new strong arcitecture.
Are you aware that NVIDIA can't offer to normal buyers more than 80% of TITAN V, if they want acceptable price point.
If NVIDIA decide to go with different chip with smaller power consumption they will barrely outperform full Pascal.
And we wait for that almost 18 months. This is smallest improvement for 250W power consumption class for last 5 years.
And smallest price difference cost almost 2000$. They lost touch with reality, better to say they perfectly know what they do to American customers, because they are 2/3 of their buyers, 1/3 is rest of the world. Only in America 700$ worth motherboard is out of stock without question even if ancestors are 400$ several generations and nothing happen on market to cause such price madness.
Actually customers deserve oppose because economic crisis and harder selling everything. Except IT industry.

You nailed it. 4096 Cuda for 60% improvement over 2560 Cuda is the golden ratio 1,6180 and appears a lot lately. Add 16GB 256 bit 14Gbps GDDR6 to it and we have a winner.

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

Poor Volta. :p

Since we are on the topic of AMD schadenfreude, AMD drops from 24% to 9% in the Steam GPU installed base when Steam starts including China users. Ironic how the poorer countries prefer "consumer unfriendly" NV a lot more than us.
