Wait a few more months, and then you'll be able to buy the same card, but targeted towards gamers, for around $1,200.

Edit: Actually, the GTX 1080 Ti came out 7 months after the Pascal Titan X.

If that was the price without tensor cores, I would have called them insane. But since they kept those tensor cores, it is actually not a bad deal compared to Teslas.

A GV102 variant is almost assuredly coming. It's gonna be GDDR6, without tensor cores and clocked at ~1500MHz base, with 5376 cores or slightly less.
 
It's a great deal for the target audience (compute-oriented professionals); this is the first affordable card with full-speed double-precision we've had in years. Plus, if you can justify this professionally you've got a sweet gaming rig as well. If you are buying this just to game on, well, you want the fastest there is and you know what you are getting into....

Lol, I am pretty sure any halfway decent neighborhood would not even allow a car like that to be parked outside. Then again maybe you have better things to spend your money on than a decent house in a decent neighborhood too...

Wait... what part of the world do you live in where the "neighborhood" tell you what car you're allowed to park outside your home?
 
While many will claim this card is not for gaming, Nvidia did release the 388.59 Game Ready drivers today and Titan V is listed...

Well, to be fair, if almost everyone in a neighborhood is driving a Bentley, then it is the "People's Car" of that area. I suppose driving a Yugo through such a neighborhood would make the local news.

You've never heard of a homeowner's association?

Yes because any car above a sub $1500 jalopy must be a Bentley....

Is this a 'social ladder' thing where you have to out do the Joneses by getting into truck loads of debt? Sounds pretty stupid to me.

I'm sure mvmiller's very happy with his vehicles and see no reason why his life decisions should be judged by anyone, let alone anyone that even considers buying these ridiculously priced graphics cards.

It's not about outdoing anyone. This is a public forum where he felt the need to tell everyone here that he spent less than $3000 total on two cars so I simply replied to that.
 
$3,000 each? NV linked twins at $6000? Gonna have to ask my surgeon which body parts are in big demand currently. As long as it's not for the addadiktomie market, I might be willing to swing it.

I wonder if we'll see benches before WWIII breaks out.
 
Oh the old "I can't afford this, everyone that buys one is stupid" argument yet again. You guys realize you're not the target audience and that we'll receive other cards at lower price points down the line right? So much salt...

Nice generalization.

I'm sure there's some niche field that would benefit from this GPU, but when it comes to gaming the cost is difficult to justify.

I can't wait for the 'regular' Volta gaming cards...this $3000 card is just a taste of what's coming

Perhaps in the future but not at the moment. Gaming is almost purely FP32.

~15 TFLOPS of FP32 vs ~12 TFLOPS for the Titan XP (~25% gaming improvement without accounting for architectural improvements)
~6.9 TFLOPS of FP64 vs 0.38 TFLOPS for the Titan XP (~1,800% better in scientific calculations)
~110 TFLOPS of Tensor Performance vs 0 for the Titan XP (new capability for Deep Learning applications)

If you look at the scheme for the SM you will see that about a large amount of the area of the chip isn't dedicated to FP32. In fact, only about 1/5 of the SM is dedicated to FP32. Thus the gaming related parts of this chip probably only account for like $600 of the value. I would be willing to bet they cut out all the science/AI stuff when the sell the chip as the gaming version and that will be priced at the usual $700ish.

Obviously the block diagram does not directly correlate with the number of transistors/area of the chip used for each. That said, it is still clear that there are more of the science/AI cores that have nothing to do with gaming as compared with the FP32 ones that do. Anyone who buys a Titan V for gaming will be paying for a lot of circuits that they will never use.

depends on what you drive. I am about to receive a 4k 120hz kit from Cirthix. A Titan V can grant me 7-9 months of gaming before a Volta Ti comes out.

OK, more likely i will need a couple Titan V.:p

It's still not worth $3000.00 when ~20% of the card is dedicated to gaming.

My guess is this card isn't really designed purely with gaming in mind at all.

God bless your crazy ability to justify this madness. I'll just live vicariously through you, instead of taking my life into my own hands :).
 
Wow that is a beast of a card. I would of expected a dual gpu at that price tho. I also was right we would get Volta this year! Expecting consumer xx80 around March and TI around august.

So Nvidia went from 12 teraflops with Pascal to over 100 teraflops with Volta?? That's such a massive leap in performance that it doesn't seem real!!!

I thought I was crazy when I bought a Titan X last year for a grand, but each day that goes by I keep being more and more glad I did.

For $3,000 you'll instantly get the maximum single GPU full performance that the entire Volta line will EVER have. Right now. I expect Volta to last 2-3 years in various forms, so not actually that crazy a price. Frankly it's cheap given the tech as someone said earlier! :p

It can't be SLI'd, so maybe two GGDR6 Volta '1180tis' might beat it for less. But that card doesn't even exist as I just made it up...

How? According to wikipedia this is the 7th card to have the titan name.

GeForce GTX TITAN February 21, 2013 GK110-400-A1
GeForce GTX TITAN Black February 18, 2014 GK110-430-B1
GeForce GTX TITAN Z March 25, 2014 2× GK110
GeForce GTX TITAN X March 17, 2015 GM200-400
NVIDIA TITAN X August 2, 2016 GP102-400
NVIDIA TITAN Xp April 6, 2017 GP102-450
NVIDIA TITAN V December 7, 2017 GV100

Or was that irony, and now I'm looking like a fool for not getting it?

I've never understood what people found confusing about the naming. Very clear distinction between "GEFORCE GTX" in the name and just "NVIDIA".

Reading is key. That's strictly the compute performance for deep learning due to all the tensor cores enabled on it compared to Titan X/p.

In case this is satire... sorry.

If it's not, I'm not getting the fervor for this card: if Nvidia builds an NV102 using the same technology, it should be significantly faster than this Titan V at gaming.
