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 you already have a card with minuscule PCB and a humongous heatsink, it's a WIN, NO question asked!
whats the main difference between this Titan Volta vs Tesla Volta ?
now I know that RX Vega price much cheaper from it should be and the stock very limit, HBM2 was the problem ?
or indeed volta arch way much better than pascal arch or all radeon and nvidia arch ?
nVidia will likely make sure it's not usable for "pro" purposes (as usual).
Remember, there are no Volta-based Quadro cards yet, and Tesla V100 is trending at around $8000 (as a part of a server bundle, a lot more by itself).... :roll:
Have people collectively gone mad or full-retarded and whenever they see anything priced above $500 from NVIDIA they think they are milking us? No one fucking forces you to buy anything from NVIDIA.
Fuck my life.
Get out of here troll.
That's why pointing out that it's overpriced is really just stating the obvious (underscoring in the process that the person doesn't have anything more useful to say).
Edit: This price also goes hand in hand with Mr. Hwang's statement that they're not bringing Volta to consumers yet because it's still too expensive to make. Though the usual grain of salt still applies.
Nah Im not in the mood to spend so much money on 16gb ddr4, a 256gb (lol) ssd and a 4k uncompromised 60fps gpu to play console Ubisoft/EA ports bruteforced to better fidelity on the same console assets.. Thanks anyway. Getting too old for this shit.
Rip PC aaa gaming. Murders: Intel and Nvidia.
Most used GPUs on steamstats: gtx 750ti and 960. Most played games: League, Dota, CS, TF2, pubg, minecraft, world of tanks, warframe, heartstone and stardew valley. Go figure.
Yeah, people buying this for gaming will be mighty disappointed if they expect it to be anything vastly superior to Titan Xp or GTX1080ti. Then again, if folks have the monies, why not.
I wonder if anyone will make a water block for it?
If they could afford something better they would and they might stop playing Dota or League of Legends 24/7 to try different games. But with the current prices on PC hardware it is impossible to most people. Thing is getting too expensive. More than the 1990s. Yes I´m that old. I´m an IBM PC1 warrior, way before the Commodore stuff and 486. Alley Cat and Ricky Dangerous days. I´ve never seen this industry so bad as it is right now, price wise of course.
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?
I personally hope it will play games at triple-4K and 144hz. :laugh:
