NVIDIA Announces TITAN V "Volta" Graphics Card

[Fluffmeister]

Wow what a beast, didn't think the GV100 would ever see the light of day even as a prosumer card. I guess we forget Pascal has been around a while now, just because Vega is massively late doesn't mean Nv has sat around counting all their money.

Presumably they could drop a GV104 or GV102 tomorrow if they wanted. At least some enthusiasts will have a new toy to play with!

I could quote three full pages but..

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.

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.

....no I haven't......regardless of what its meant for, the gaming demographic that can afford this will still buy it for gaming. anyone remember Titian Z? Or the cray cray 4 way sli and cross-fired rigs of yore? They will have no problem at all selling this card for gaming. (regardless of performance benefits) I'm sure many are already planning a build around it.....because they can.

To all the retards who think this card is overpriced: this is not a gaming card for fuck's sake. This is a professional card for AI/FP computations. It's a miracle it costs just 30% of its full featured brother.

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.

Another brainwashed sheep. who got first manipulated into thinking that 3000 is cheap since ist lower than 8000.

Thats the strategy my friend. Offer something at 10000 euro, than something similar to it at 3000. 3000 will then seems like a bargain. Buts ist not, ist 3000 ya, know.

how much does it cost nvidia to put together the Titan V ? No more than 500 EUR i believe. They should seel it at 1000 euro tops, 700 would be a much better Price.

But they want to cash the fk up ! So they put it first at 8000, make it scarce and anavailable, preparing the sheep psychologicaly into thinking that when the 3000 Card will come, it is cheap as fk, so you "Need" to buy it, because so cheap at 3100 euros ist a damn miracle, that what it is. Damn, you won the lottery, you can buy the Card at 3100 Euros, ist so cheap, who wouldnt want to buy such a Card.

3100€ is a real bargain if you consider you'll need 8-10 1080Tis or Titans to match its FP64 and machine learning performance.

Biggest problem is nVidia's schizophreniac approach towards Titans for last couple of generations. These GPUs still use Geforce drivers while being targeted towards "professionals" and with titan V there is no support NVLink either making it worse proposition compared to Quadros. My friends who are into ANN have gone to route of x80Ti over Titans due to exorbitant prices and near linear scaling when using multiple GPUs means there is no need to spend on Titan other than in rare use cases where that extra 1GB or ram might make difference. anyone serious enough with compute will either go for cloud computing or if their firms are investing in hardware will invest in Tesla's.

This is a $5500 card priced at 3k... if you look at it in that light, its not so bad. On the other hand... the teslas are overpriced too.

 

[GhostRyder]

Well... I would argue that its ridiculously priced and this path has gotten darker with the Titan branding. However, this is much more of a professional card again beyond that of even the original Titan (Then again it costs significantly more so it better lol). I find the clock speeds to be interesting because they are pretty low compared to the previous generation (Since this leans more pro than casual thats not out of the ordinary much but still). I wonder how it performs in gaming (Just for the heck of it) mostly to see how Volta architecture is when it eventually comes out.

They did almost double the number of transistors (and shoved the HBM onto that die), while going from 16 to 12nm isn't that large a leap...

The gaming card argument is easily settled if you consider the Tensor cores. Yes, it's now a commercially available consumer part but the hardware is very non consumer.
Unlike the software argument of previous cards, the Volta architecture is AI focussed. I'll be very surprised if the attainable gaming range has the Tensor cores.
Then again, if Nvidia can make them work for gaming, hell, bite me backwards. The new GeForce AI GTX 2080ti - it knows where to render before the game does, shoot opponents before they've even pressed the 'w' key.

You are wrong: Making a QUADRO / professional card and naming under the enthusiast naming scheme is either them being retarded OR you being wrong. TITAN is an enthusiast product line! It maybe that the cards in it is capped or identical to the full fledged professional versions but never the less: ITS AN ENTHUSIAST naming scheme. So ether they have named it mistakenly (I can kinda agree on that), but you can complain that people are confused. Its like selling a Audi R8 in a volksvagen at price too high for and volksvagen but lower than an Audi R8.

This card is beastly, people complaining about the price need to know that no one cares. If you're thinking of buying this just for gaming you're either crazy rich or just crazy. Quadro P6000 is $5K and this card will stomp it at $3K. The price and specs mean just one thing - Titan V is not for gamers anymore.

If you ask me this card at $3K has more sense than a $1200 TXp which is 5% faster than 1080Ti at $500 more, with exactly the same GP102 core and only 1GB more vram. This is to V100 what 1080Ti is to TXp.

 

[Hayder_Master]

how much Tflops this Gpu can provide ?

 

[cucker tarlson]

I think it's 14-15TFlops. For any scenario that can utilize tensor core that's gonna be several times that tho.

V100 Pcie is....
DOUBLE-PRECISION
7 TeraFLOPS

SINGLE-PRECISION
14 TeraFLOPS

DEEP LEARNING
112 TeraFLOPS

Since the Titan V is 110TFlops using the tensor cores I would guess 13.75 for Single precision. (x8)

For reference,
1080ti is 11.3 sp, Titan Xp is 12.1 sp

Vega64 is 12.66-13.7 Single and 25.3-27.5Tflops half precision/packed math (not custom tensor cores, can be used as general compute)

P100 can operate at half precision for the same doubling in performance but nothing else in the pascal family can, I am assuming the V100 can as well for non tensor tasks as well as this new Titan Volta.

Afaik we really don't know the real clocks of it. Nvidia's given boost clocks are usually quite conservative. I.E. Titan Xp boost clocks are as low as 1.582GHz, but in reality they are more close to 1.8GHz in gaming load. Granted GV100 is a huge chip so I'm doubt that real boosts clocks won't be that much of from marketing. But they probably are more than 1.5GHz...

But well if it clocks as high as pascal can, it's 2*2.1GHz*64*80=21,5TFlops of fp32 max. Though good luck for keeping that cool

Competing with themselves seems like an odd decision to make.

I think they're reacting to intel's moves.

 

[hyp36rmax]

The price isn't all that bad if you consider the performance for those who would normally SLI previous Titans when they were priced $1200-$1500 each. We really need to see some benches.

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
