Nvidia Titan V

Why would any one include pubg in their benchmark? That is such an unpolished turd it's not funny. Gotta run lower settings just to get a decent fps....
 
I play it a lot, but I would never include it in a benchmark. Alls I can say is the new build is a huge improvement and maybe I won't have to run low/med settings to get a good average fps on a 1080 ti....
 
I think the games you play the most are the most relevant to benchmark. ;)
I cannot second this enough. If anything, it gets frustrating when benchmarks don't include the games I'm looking for due to generally being niche offerings.

For instance, nobody really benchmarks DCS World around here, yet it's tremendously difficult to attain a consistent 90 FPS on once you're in the middle of a warzone with AI slugging it out everywhere, especially if you're down low in something like an A-10 or Ka-50. Most of that is due to how notoriously CPU-limited the engine is, yet the GPU still plays a big part if you want to use VR.

There's also ArmA III, which may not have VR to be concerned about, but is still also lacking in benchmarks and is really punishing at higher draw distances - at least until some random Tech Report article shows how much of a leap it was going from Sandy Bridge to Kaby Lake, which could very well have to do with the move to DDR4 over DDR3 as well, alongside the engine's unusual receptiveness to higher memory clocks.

I'd also throw Raw Data into the list for the VR side of things, just because a GTX 980 is really marginal for that game in my experience. Cranking up the details to High pretty much requires a much beefier GPU to avoid Timewarp/Spacewarp/Reprojection artifacts.

You might notice a somewhat recurring theme here; what I really want out of Volta is significantly improved VR performance, and that generally requires low frametimes far more than it does high averages.

I've always loved your work. I've linked to your PCIe testing so many times.
 
Interesting. I've been a bleeding edge adopter in the last few years with this stuff but I don't think this increase is worth $3000, even as "cool" as the technology is.

Gaming cards in 2018. These are hpc cards.

Yeah, I know, but it has the Titan moniker, which hasn't really been an "HPC" card since the original. Probably had some leftover GV100 dies that failed spec for Quadro or Tesla cards, heh.

All the cool shit isn't even for gaming though! Pull an AMD fanboy move... buy one because one day games might use tensor cores and have 10x the performance!!
 


Man Volta is going to mine like a MF

If its doing this on ETH, the other alt coins are going to a similar increase x2.

Cool thing is with ETH, it doesn't need a crazy amount of increase on bandwidth to do it too, so there might be more compression optimizations nV has done for Volta.

What's your cpu? 100 fps+ here 98% of the time and sometimes into low 70s.

How likely is that the next gaming card based on Volta is going to be faster in games than TITAN V ?

I kinda think that not very likely, since it would have to be x2 cheaper, and they can allow such a cheap card to beat TITAN V in performance.

Is my logic flawed?

Titan V isn't a card targeted at gamers. When they remove the Tensor cores and other stuff to cut down the die size for GV102 there's no reason to intentionally cripple the result to be worse than a machine learning card.

The next 1080 replacement will undoubtedly be faster than 1080 Ti and most likely as fast as the Titan V. The Ti version should be another 15-20% faster minimum.
 
A Volta die using the same amount of CUDA cores but without all the tensor, FP64 and HBM crap would be half the size and MUCH cheaper to produce, and most likely clock higher. So the hypothetical 2080 would be 'as fast' in games. Though it will probably have a different RAM set up.
 
A 384bit GDDR6 16Ghz GV102 would also have more bandwidth with 768GB/sec. Even with 14Ghz it would be 672GB/sec, slightly above Titan V. Then we can also put the silly myth that HBM2 would be better for gaming to death for good for even the most stubborn.
 
Since when has a next gen xx80 been as fast as a next gen Titan? It won't. It'll be a small die bullshit chip almost as fast as the current Ti, like the 1080 vs 980Ti, it took a long time for the 1080 to take the crown.

The Titan like last time just gets replaced again. 24GB GDDR6 on GV102 Titan? Or a 16GB HBM2?

The GTX 780 was almost as fast as the GTX Titan in games. Coincidentally, that was the last time the Titan was an HPC card.

No worries, no plan to ever be one :)

4790K @ 4.8 You do have the very newest CPU at 5ghz. Like I said the new build does a great job at improving fps, like you I am able to stay above 100 pretty reliably now.
 
Still nothing but canned benchmarks, for the loss.

Yeah but one important thing is he said it's thermally limited.

Can one of you guys up North cool your house to 30F and see what this thing can really do?
 
Gamers Nexus benchmarks for TITAN V :





At times it can show some strengths but far to often it's performance is kind of disappointing. It's also showed some nasty spikes on frame times as well, hopefully that is just some roughness on the driver side and not a hardware bottleneck causing that.
 
Once again the titan cooler is trash anyone know of any hybrid kits that will work with this card?
 
Yeah, I'd expect the drivers to be a bit rough. I wasn't expecting Volta to be released until next year.

Seems like exactly what one might expect. Pretty fast in raw terms, but clearly not optimized for playing games.

If you're seriously considering this, you should also consider that the cost of waterjet cutting a mounting bracket for a CPU water block wouldn't be that high, relatively speaking. Maybe $50?

The die is nearly twice as big as the 1080 Ti, so I don't think you're going to find a block on the market that makes adequate contact. You would have to see if you can machine one yourself.

Yeah that is one huge chip.
