Nvidia Announces Titan V (Volta!)

[Max_Settings]

Nvidia posted this on their Instagram Story. Only thing I can find about it. Will update when new information comes out. (I'm assuming Titan V means Titan Volta)

Edit 1: Yes it is Volta! Pricing has also been announced. $3,000

Edit 2:

There is a new gold shroud. Actually don't like it.

Here's the source and quote

TITAN V is targeted at machine learning scientists who want to conveniently buy the card and install it into their desktop PC. This means the researcher doesn’t need a special server, storage or networking. Machine learning workloads favor heavy-duty matrix math operations which require massive memory bandwidth and this is what TITAN V delivers.

Driven by Volta architecture

Driven by NVIDIA’s latest GPU architecture, Volta, NVIDIA says the TITAN V’s 21.1 billion transistors are capable of delivering 110 teraflops of performance (for reference, that’s 9x times the deep learning computing horsepower of its predecessor). This immense amount of performance makes the TITAN V ideally suited users looking to explore computational processing for scientific simulation and other deep learning/AI applications on their desktop PCs. This is different from Tesla that is targeted at server systems and deep learning appliances like the DGX Station.

 

 

 

In addition to the muscle, the Titan V is also highly energy efficient. Its Volta architecture underwent a serious revamping of the SM processor design at the core of the GPU, which should providetwice the  energy of efficiencyPascal. This allows for major boosts in FP32 and FP64 performance, within the same power envelope.

The Titan V also sports the same new Tensor Cores that are in Tesla GPUs which are geared specifically towards deep learning purposes. NVIDIA also says the Volta architecture is more efficient at HPC, thanks to its independent parallel integer and floating-point data paths.

 

TITAN V also appears to deliver significant memory improvements. NVIDIA says the TITAN V is fabricated on groundbreaking TSMC 12 nm FFN (FinFET NVIDIA) high-performance manufacturing process, and takes full advantage of Volta’s 12GB HBM2 memory subsystem. By combining the new memory controller with this HBM2 memory, TITAN V can guarantee 1.2 times delivered memory bandwidth, along with as much as 95% memory bandwidth utilization while running multiple workloads. Not bad at all.

TITAN V is designed for researchers

NVIDIA has done a great job making TITAN synonymous with the ultimate GPU for your PC. This includes gaming, content creation, deep learnings, and more. And while TITAN V will do gaming just fine, in fact it’s the world’s fastest gaming GPU, it was designed first for machine learning training and inference, not for gaming. This means, Titan V’s transistor and memory subsystem improvements favor machine learning.

While some in the industry will love to bellyache about this decision and maybe even snipe about TITAN V gaming price-performance, just don’t. TITAN V (and Volta) is NOT the gaming-optimized follow-on to Pascal.

Wrapping up

All in all, the TITAN V appears to be a powerful, capable new offering from NVIDIA, great for simple entry into desktop-based machine learning training and inference. NVIDIA’s CEO and co-founder, Jensen Huang, is “putting Volta into the hands of researchers and scientists all over the world”.  I couldn’t have said it any better. Some in the media will weigh in on TITAN V in gaming workloads, but that’s completely missing the point.

oh boy

Can't wait for the Titan Vp to come out next year.

[Himommies]

If this was showcased at nips I bet it would be at least 10k

 

(thank god the rockets only go up to 4 othwerwise google would be really confused)

They'll have to give one to Mike Pence

I was looking forward to seeing a Zp, now it looks like Zv_p

[SeanAngelo]

oh here we go...

[ARikozuM]

Will it conveniently use words starting with "v" only upon launch only to never do it again?

well... at least it's not another Titan XP/Xp/X(Pascal) again.

*5 months later*

*GTX 1180Ti announced, exact same performance as Titan V*

I'm going to assume this is the first Volta GPU.

Inb4 the Ti is more powerful than the Titan 5.

That is all.

The first consumer version. They announced GV100 Tesla card back in may.

I was thinking more Vip.

[mech]

Rip my wallet once the 1180 and 1180ti are released

[Guest]

Dang that price, but for the targeted audience (Researchers right... right?) and the performance uplifts, its actual priced well... with all of that in mind, the conclusion is LTT video builds and more overpriced builds on the forum.

[Dylanc1500]

For all of those that care, look close at the "SLI" fingers. They are gone and have been replaced with the NVlink bridge like the Quadro P100 has.

At the $3000 price of this card if a 1180ti comes out in 5 months it will cost around $2000

 

god at these prices someone please save us from a GPU trend like what Intel has done from the 2xxx to 7xxx. I dont want to see slow improvements with these crazy priced halo cards.
