Which one games better? Titan V or Titan X SLI

[Felismania]

I have two Titan X Pascal loaded in SLI and Nvidia just release their latest Titan V.

 

I want to switch SLI config to single Titan V because I think it will games better. Is it correct?

 

My CPU is Intel 6900K and my display works at 3440x1440 with 100FPS refresh rate.

 

Please, I welcome any advice. Thanks.

System on signature, my brother's doing the same thing, he thinks it is worth it because SLI/MultiGPU is a hassle to both his entertainment and work on the system.

We honestly don’t know. There are no gaming benchmarks for the Titan V. But you’d be dumb to buy it for gaming, it’s not a gaming or GeForce card.

but there are benchmarks for the v
lemme look it up again,will edit when found

Don’t think of this Titan like the other Titans. Think of this like a Quadro or Tesla cards. They are not meant for gaming at all and will have a GeForce counterpart with basically the same gaming performance for way less.

If there are early gaming benchmarks it doesn’t change the fact that it should in no way be bought for gaming.

While the Tensor Cores are useless can't deny the card has HBM2 and 5120 CUDA Cores vs 3840 of the TITAN Xp so it is safe to assume it does better regardless.

I concur. Due to the fact that Tensor cores are useless to most people, I think the claim of peak performance of 100 TFlops is snake oil.

 

The benefits are clear, however -

1. Single card has better power effciency

2. Single card has no downsides of SLI

3. Can spare one PCIE slot

 

I have decided that none of above benefits are worth spending $2999. I shall wait for flagship gamer cards which should be a lot cheaper.

I don’t think the 100 TFlops is snake oil, but TFlops isn’t something that really determines gaming performance

Titan V requires tensor core to reach 100T which use cases are limited to deep learning.

The card is only about 25% faster than Titan Xp in normal usage.

Let him spend $3K and tell us how it performs.
