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.

The "But can it run Crysis" joke started with the original Crysis in 2007. So it was only appropriate that we use it for that test. Especially since it let us do something silly like running 4x supersample anti-aliasing.crysis3? - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link

They make it pretty clear everywhere this card is meant for ML training.It's the only scenario where it makes sense financially.
Gaming is a big NO at 3K dollars per card. Mining is a big NO with all the cheaper specific chips for the task.
On ML it may mean halving or cutting by 4 the training time on a workstation, and if you have it running 24/7 for hyperparameter tuning it pays itself compared to the accumulated costs of Amazon or Google cloud machines.
An SLI of titans and you train huge models under a day in a local machine. That's a great thing to have.

The FP64 performance indicates it's also aimed at HPC. One has to wonder how much better it could be at each, if it didn't also have to do the other.And for multi-GPU, you really want NVlink - not SLI.

Will game developers be able to use these tensor cores to make the AI in their games smarter? That would be cool if AI shifted from the CPU to the GPU.DanNeely - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
First and formost, that depends if mainstream Volta cards get tensor cores.Beyond that I'm not sure how much it'd help there directly, AFAIK what Google/etc are doing with machine learning and neural networks is very different from typical game AI.

They're more for training the neural nets than actually executing a games AI routine.hahmed330 - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
Finally a card that can properly nail Crysis!crysis3? - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
closer to 55fps if it were crysis 3 maxed outcrysis3? - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
because he benchmarked the first crysis
