But he doesn't believe in scientific research

I will bet that once the news of this dies down and people realise its not a gaming card, the average PC user wont even know this card exists.

Exactly.

AT LEAST THEY DON'T CHARGE FOR SHIPPING. /s

Why do you think I said gaming? I specifically said certain task and compared it to the XP. 

I didn't suggest you said gaming, I said in gaming rigs the tensor cores won't help.

 

Please don't even try to imply that when asking about benchmarks you weren't thinking about gaming however. No one asks for BOINC numbers.

[CTR640]

Want GPU for gaming? Get RX/Vega or Geforce GPU. I very doubt nVidia would announce a gaming GPU at THIS time so it has to be

any other Enterprise, Deep Learning, AI or other scientic stuff. Just think about it, why would nVidia announce a new gaming GPU at this time at all?

So when do benchmarks primarily mean gaming? Im more interested in this for GPU acceleration.

Yeah, this is not a gaming GPU. But obviously at the time it will be the fastest gaming GPU even though it's not its intended use. I'm sure once the mainstream GeForce cards launch there will be one that has basically the same gaming performance as the Titan V for way less money, but the Titan V will still murder it in compute.

Sounds like a bargain, you get 4 of them for a single bitcoin!

So rendering videos etc? OK fair point I suppose, it was wrong of me to ignore that subset of tasks however I'm not 100% sure the tensor core will help to much in these types of tasks either.

 

I'm gonna be honest, I'm pretty ignorant to what exactly they will and won't accelerate and Nvidia aren't exactly shouting such info from the rooftop just yet.

 

I do however know that for gaming they are worse than useless.

Thats why I want to see benchmarks (not gaming) to see how much these cores help or even what they can help with. If it turns out to be purely AI or deep learning then this card is off the table for me. 

[William Payne]

To even find this card on nvidias site you have to go to the A.I and Deep Learning section. It is definitely advertised for that kind of thing. 

[William Payne]

I think we should wait until Puget Systems gets one of these and tests it, they are generally really really good at benchmarking for professional use cases.

The massive number of CUDA cores will help with video rendering.  The Tensors?  Not... so much.  At all.

Has everyone forgotten the Nvidia Titan Z that was launched years back, also at  $3000

So from what I can tell, if you actually have a workload that could benefit from the Tensor cores, the Titan V would be the way to go, otherwise you could save yourself a couple hundred dollars and just get two Titan Xp.  No interest in this from me though (especially at $3K a card).  Just wait until NVidia pulls another Titan Xv and 1180 (2080?)Ti situation in a couple of months...

That is the reality, most people wont have a need for this. I can probably say that 99% of people dont have a need for this. 

 

Things like this seem to happen in tech, I see it big time in the camera world. Where something new comes out and people get all excited like "I must have this, its new!" blah blah, then they soon realise its not for them and will do them no good and they get all confused like "Who is this for?" "I can't use this!". Some people even get hostile about it. 

 

For whatever reason there is a large group of people who fall for the trap of must having the latest thing. 

 

I feel that is a really bad place to be.

Except, no, it won't be supporting NVLink.  Nor SLI.

NVidia cleared that up.  You can have multiple cards in your rig, but no hardware link between them, apparently.

Not that I think you are wrong, but if that is the case then I I'm thoroughly intrigued as to why they would put the NVlink bridge connectors onto the card. I haven't had the ability to get any further information, so I wonder what their plans are for them.

That guy is scary.

[DildorTheDecent]

All Nvidia have to do now is lose the tensor cores, give it a clock bump and lower the price and then you'll have the gaming card.

 

Whenever that is of course. Take your time.

on another note: lol nvidia stop trying to hold the compensator crowd back ?

the price is a let down. Nvidia GPUs have had price hikes generation by generation.

The competition by YTers to get the first Titan V video up probably drives that price up more than miners now. 

 

Think how much revenue that video generates over one 2-3 days later. Not only will that guarantee your video is on the top of the YT search, it will also be on every major tech forum. 

 

3k for a card that you can rush a review on is pocket change. I'm sure they'll easily make the money back on that one video.

Is it really that lucrative though, it doesn't apply to 99% percent of the viewers. Same reason nobody reviews quadro cards.

Very few people understand what quadro cards are. A large number of people will understand what "THE FASTEST GAMING GPU EVER" means.
