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.

It's true. All they had to do was pay some grad students to optimize HPC and deep learning software for their GPUs. They could've done that for the price of only a couple marketing persons' salaries.CiccioB - Monday, January 1, 2018 - link
That would not be a surprise.AMD strategy on SW support has always been leaving others (usually not professionist) do the job at their own cost. Results is that AMD HW has never had a decent SW support other than for gaming (and that's only because Sony and MS spend money for improving gaming performances for their consoles).

Sarcasm? There's no Vega built up to this scale.mode_13h - Wednesday, December 27, 2017 - link
It *is* pretty big and burns about as much power. Yet, it's nowhere near as fast at deep learning. Even with its lower purchase price, it's still not operationally cost-competitive with GV100.If you look at its feature set, it was really aimed at HPC and deep learning. In the face of Volta's tensor cores, it kinda fell flat, on the latter front.

What about mining benchmarks?tipoo - Friday, December 22, 2017 - link
Would be in line with the CUDA improvements. I.e, two 1080s would be much better at mining. Most of the uplift is in tensor performance, which no algo uses.Cryio - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - link
Wait wait wait.Crysis Warhead at 4K, Very High with 4 times Supersampling? I think you mean Multisampling.
I don't think this could manage 4K60 at max settings with 4xSSAA, lol.

"I think you mean Multisampling."Nope, supersampling.=)

"For our full review hopefully we can track down a Quadro GP100"YES. The oddity here is that the GP100 might end up being better than the Titan V at gaming due to having 128 ROPs vs. 96 ROPs and even higher memory bandwidth.
Outside of half precision matrix multiplication, the GP100 should be roughly ~43% faster due mainly to the difference in ALU counts in professional workloads. Boost clocks are a meager 25 Mhz difference. Major deviations beyond that 43% difference would be where the architectures differ. There is a chance benchmarks would come in below that 43% mark if memory bandwidth comes into play.
