Nvidia announces $2,999 Titan V, 'The most powerful PC GPU ever created'

It seems like Nvidia announces the fastest and most powerful GPU in history a couple of times a year, and that’s precisely what’s passed off again today; the Titan V is “The most powerful PC GPU ever created,” in Nvidia's words. It represents a more significant leap than most products that have made that claim, however, as it's the first consumer-grade GPU based around Nvidia’s new Volta architecture.



That said, a liberal definition of the word “customer” is in order right here — the Titan V sells for $2,999 and is centered around AI and scientific simulation processing. Nvidia claims up to 110 teraflops of overall performance from its 21.1 billion transistors, with 12GB of HBM2 memory, 5120 CUDA cores, and 640 “tensor cores” that are stated to provide as much as 9 times the deep-learning performance of its predecessor.

also it comes in gold and black, which appears pretty cool.

“Our vision for Volta was to push the outer limits of high performance computing and AI. We broke new ground with its new processor architecture, instructions, numerical formats, memory architecture and processor links,” Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang says in a statement. “With Titan V, we are putting Volta into the hands of researchers and scientists all over the world. I can’t wait to see their breakthrough discoveries.”

There’s no phrase on whilst Volta may make its manner into extra potential gaming-targeted GPUs. Nvidia’s modern Pascal structure became delivered over a year and a half ago with the GTX 1080, which nonetheless stays one of the quality gaming GPUs available — most effective without a doubt crowned in performance by means of its turbocharged successor, the GTX 1080 Ti. Volta GPUs can be lots more pricey for Nvidia to supply, so the company may need to trip out the Pascal wave so long as it is able to.
