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.

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.
and nearly 20x the FP64 of the Titan Xp
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$.
Lack of competition just destroy us enjoying in new strong arcitecture.
Are you aware that NVIDIA can't offer to normal buyers more than 80% of TITAN V, if they want acceptable price point.
If NVIDIA decide to go with different chip with smaller power consumption they will barrely outperform full Pascal.
And we wait for that almost 18 months. This is smallest improvement for 250W power consumption class for last 5 years.
And smallest price difference cost almost 2000$. 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.
