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.

I don't know if you've heard of OpenCL, but there's not reason why a GPU needs to be programmed in a proprietary language.It's true that OpenCL has some minor issues with performance portability, but the main problem is Nvidia's stubborn refusal to support anything past version 1.2.
Anyway, lots of businesses know about vendor lock-in and would rather avoid it, so it sounds like you have some growing up to do if you don't understand that.

Grow up.I repeat. None is wasting millions in using not certified, supported libraries. Let's avoid talking about entire frameworks.
If you think that researches with budgets of millions are nerds working in a garage with avoiding lock-in strategies as their first thought in the morning, well, grow up kid.
Nvidia provides the resources to allow them to exploit their expensive HW at the most of its potential reducing time and other associated costs. Also when upgrading the HW with a better one. That's what counts when investing millions for a job.
For you kid's home made AI joke, you can use whatever alpha library with zero support and certification. Others have already grown up.

No kid here. I've shipped deep-learning based products to paying customers for a major corporation.I've no doubt you're some sort of Nvidia shill. Employee? Maybe you bought a bunch of their stock? Certainly sounds like you've drunk their kool aid.
Your line of reasoning reminds me of how people used to say businesses would never adopt Linux. Now, it overwhelmingly dominates cloud, embedded, and underpins the Android OS running on most of the world's handsets. Not to mention it's what most "researchers with budgets of millions" use.

"The integer units have now graduated their own set of dedicates cores within the GPU design, meaning that they can be used alongside the FP32 cores much more freely."Yay! Nvidia caught up to gcn 1.0!
Seriously, this goes to show how good the gcn arch was. It was probably too ambitious for its time as those old gpus have aged really well it took a long time for games to catch up.

<blockquote>Nvidia caught up to gcn 1.0!</blockquote>Yeah! It is known to the entire universe that it is nvidia that trails AMD performances.
Luckly they managed to get this Volta out in time before the bankruptcy.

AMD can pay me half their marketing budget and I will still do better than them...by doing exactly nothing. Their marketing is worse than being in a state of non-existence.
