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.

Actually probably both XP and V could run 4k Crysis pretty well - do we need 4xssaa @ 4k??Ryan Smith - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
"do we need 4xssaa"If it were up to me, the answer to that would always be yes. Jaggies suck.

Do they plan on exposing fast FP16 in software? When consumer Volta launches maybe?Ryan Smith - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
Nothing has been announced at this time.Keldor314 - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
The part of the article about Volta no longer having a superscalar architecture is incorrect. Although there is only one warp scheduler per SM partition (what do you call those things anyway?), each clock cycles only serves half a warp, so it takes two clock cycles for an instruction to feed into one of the execution pipelines, but during the second cycle, the warp schedular is free is issue a second instruction to one of the other pipelines. IIRC, Fermi did this too.mode_13h - Wednesday, December 27, 2017 - link
Also, the part about per-thread PC and Stack is misleading. Warps are still executing (or not executing) from a single instruction sequence. The threads within a warp are not concurrently executing different instructions, nor are threads being dynamically shuffled between different warps - at least, not at a hardware level.MrSpadge - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
> Sure, compute is useful. But be honest: you came here for the 4K gaming benchmarks, right?Actually, no: I came for compute, power and voltage.

Interesting, so it have full floating point compute capabilities 1*fp64 -> 2*fp32 -> 4*fp16 + Tensor cores. But that half precision is only for CUDA? So no direct3d 12 minimum floating point precision.Native7i - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
So it looks like V series focused on machine learning and development.Maybe rumors are correct about Ampere replacing Pascal...

Maybe, I mean GP100 was very different than GP102 on down, so they could do the same thing..
