Ah, that's much more like it and much more what I was expecting. Still, that means that the XP/1080Ti are near double the performance of the 980Ti. Impressive!

I'll still be waiting at least until 1180Ti before considering upgrading but we'll see.

Whereas I've been out of gaming so long I'm thinking just grab the Ice Lake 8C APU or the Raven Ridge successor and getting out of the dGPU game. I'm hoping either Intel or AMD provides an HBM2/3 APU part for desktop, even though it's kinda niche.

[Hiya!]

So it cant play games?

It can play games, it just won't be much better than the best available in the Pascal line-up.  And it'll cost a mere $3000 for that.

It will be faster than the Titan Xp though

I'm sure my RX 460 will last a bit longer

Unless you just have to have the fastest, latest and greatest thing. This card really is not a logical choice for anyone wanting to just game, Puget Systems have said it isn't even a logical choice for editing or any graphical use at all. 

 

It has been built for one purpose and one purpose only. Artificial intelligence and deep learning.

110 Teraflops of power. That's insane... holy crap baskets.

2 less then the tesla equivalent with which it shares most specs.

As others have mentioned, I suspect they'll still do a GTX Titan Xv (or X*) for the gamer market.  Its not like NVidia to come up with confusing naming, right? ...

I'm expecting Nvidia to really mess with people's heads, and release a Titan Vx.

There will be the V, the X(V), the Xv, the Vx, the 5-10, the 10-5, and the stately VBlackZXTi.

Personally I'm waiting for the ZX11 Mk2.

You forgot the + on the end.

[D13H4RD]

Um, guys?

 

There’s a reason why it’s no longer called a “GeForce GTX TITAN”. 

 

There’s also another reason why there are no Volta-based Quadro GPUs

Its V for "Very Expensive, shut up you know you want 2"

You can’t have 2 though.

 

Sure, you can get two but you can’t use 2 at the same time.

Maybe YOU can't, but not all software requires SLI/NVLink/Crossfire to use multiple GPUs.

 

Also, kernal virtual machines....

The new features on the + model are a bit buggy for my liking.

You absolutely can use 2 at the same time.  You just can't make use of NVLink or SLI to do so.  Most video editing software, for instance, doesn't like SLI (or any other "link") and would rather see individual GPUs.  Two Titan V cards would work just fine in Premiere Pro, and might even crush it with all those CUDA cores.  That's be over 10K cores!

[William Payne]

I know I have posted this already but with so much speculation of what this will be good for, this is still probably the best guesses so far.

I apologise if you already know but as stated in your linked article. Nvidia is not offering SLI or NV link on this card.

Ah yes. Some programs can use multiple GPUs over 2 PCI-e slots.

 

Just that programs that rely on these 2 communicating with each other will not work in a dual GPU method.

Just going to leave these here. Some benchmarks if someone wants to make an article, have at it.

Nobody has said the card will suck at gaming, its just that nvidia never intended it to be one and the only people who want it to be the worlds most amazing gaming card are gamers. 

 

Its that whole sledgehammer to open a walnut scenario, sure it works but was never the intended use of the sledge hammer. 

 

I am sure gamers will buy it and I bet you they will want to SLI it and all that and then I am sure they will complain to nvidia that they left off SLI. 

 

Nvidia will say "It was never meant for gamers" which is a true statement, and then gamers will just complain and say its all nvidias fault.

The results blow away anything that has been done before. At stock, the card pumps out a GPU score of 32,774 points and when overclocked, the card delivers almost 36,000 points. A stock Titan Xp which uses the full Pascal GPU configuration has a graphics score of 28,000 points while the GTX 1080 Ti ends up with a graphics score around 28,300 points. So yeah, the card was faster in stock to stock comparisons and is just a whole another level when overclocked.

The Titan V has ~12% more FP32 performance and performs ~15% faster, so surprising .  The OC results show a lot of promise, ~22% from this source and I'm sure there is going to be people that will be able to push it much better than that.
