The NVIDIA Titan V Preview - Titanomachy: War of the Titans
by Ryan Smith & Nate Oh on December 20, 2017 11:30 AM ESTBut Can It Run Crysis?
Even if the Titan V isn't a major leap in gaming performance, we couldn't help ourselves. We have a Titan, we have Crysis. The ultimate question must be answered. Can it run Crysis?
Yes, it can run Crysis.
And in fact, it is the only Titan that can reach the coveted 60fps mark. Perhaps Titan V is the card that can finally run Crysis the way it's meant to be played: maximum resolution, maximum details, and maximum anti-aliasing. At the end of the day, only one Titan stands above the rest when it comes to Crytek's testament to graphical intensity.

This would be a pretty bad choice for mining.The tensor cores don't work on any current mining algorithm. The CUDA cores have a small uplift. Two 1080s would be much faster miners.

Really disappointed that there isn’t a tensorflow performance tab since there is literally a physical portion of the gpu dedicated to tensor cores.Ryan Smith - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
The good news is that we're working on that for the full review. The deep learning frameworks are a lot harder to test, and we were running out of time ahead of the holiday break, so it had to get pulled. It's definitely looking interesting though.SharpEars - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
I applaud the increase in double-precision, but 12 GB of VRAM, seriously? For a $3k card?DanNeely - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
Blame problems with either the memory controller and/or the interposer connecting the HBM2. NVidia kept the core count the same vs Tesla, but dropped one of the 4 ram stacks; so we know that something related to that was the biggest failure point in turning dies into even more expensive Tesla cards.Titan V refresh might get the 4th stack for 16GB in a year or so if yields improve enough to justify it; otherwise the question for more ram becomes if/when 8GB stacks of HBM2 are available in sufficient quantity.

Vega FE and 16GB Mac Pro versions use the 8GB stacks, so they are available to some degree..mode_13h - Wednesday, December 27, 2017 - link
Nvidia's market segmentation tactics won't allow for 16 GB of HBM2 at such a bargain price. You might get it in the form of a Quadro GV100, however, for >= $2x of Titan V.beisat - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
I fully expect the rumours to be true and Volta to be skipped for gaming by NV - already we heard of a replacement (Ampere) and this points that way too. Just a feeling though...Qwertilot - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
Well, there’s no way they’d ever include a lot of the compute features in gaming cards so the two were always going to be pretty different.What they end up calling everything is a bit of a moot point :)
crysis3? - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
so why'd you run the benchmark on the original crysis no one benchmarks? I assume the titan v cannot get 60fps maxed out on crysis 3 then.
