Dunno why it has external power it doesn't need it, the a380 pulls power that could be entirely supplied through a 75w PCIE slot
Some slots may only provide 25W (I have some old Dells in mind here). And extra power may allow for overclocking.

Heard a thing, don't know how true it is, that as of yet 3DMark won't actually validate any intel Arc benchmarks. So might not be that great if you can't get on the scoreboardIf anyone likes to only run synthetic benchmarks, this card is a bargain:
AKA, vs 6400/6500 in synthetics it is about +40%, in games it is about -30%.
Games are overrated anyhow, so might as well run 3DMark!

it's a multimedia card? no card ever saw driver boosts after launch right?If anyone likes to only run synthetic benchmarks, this card is a bargain:
Yup, these will pretty much fail in the retail market and they'll be unloaded to said OEM's at a discounted rate no doubt.I expect the likes of Dell, HP, and Lenovo will buy them by the pallet-load.
Might want to enquire with the tech sites about that then. it was widely expected to become the next geforce gpu but due to cost it wasn't, to say most people reallised that at the time is simply wrong.Volta was never going to become the next geforce and most people realised that at the time.
No, it was released as a near £3k "prosumer card", its also has the distinction of being the first titan card that nvidia didn't have "geforce" slapped onto the cooler. So for once they could actually claim this wasn't a gaming card by not having it branded as such, and at near 3k it was a stupidly priced card anyway, well out of the reach of 99.9% of "gamers".The Titan V was released as a gaming card, I think Nvidia did it because they could even though the £2700 asking price was way too much for most practical uses.
Well, Intel have had ages to sort out some drivers.
The AT thread on this has now been renamed as "Intel to develop discrete GPUs - Almost 5 years later, cards are here!"
Plus there is the historical thing: Intel have so many outstanding GPU driver issues which they have never fixed.
Fine wine might play a part but from the look of it, we'd have to go back a long time to a card which was release with so many obvious issues.
And this aren't for new games where there is dirty playing all the time with "game ready" drivers often involving sponsorships and one company or the other - although it has been the green team far more often than the red - going out of their way to make some, possible last minute, changes to make the other look bad.
No, these are established titles where the performance of this Intel card is far away of the same card at synthetics that it really looks like their driver team spend far too much effort optimising for synthetics which is always something we should find suspicious.
Due Intel having been so profitable for so many decades, it is easy to forget that Intel have a long history of spending $billions and having little to show for it.You just know Intel spent a Billion $ and a million man hours optimising for synthetics so the marketing team can make it look much better than it actually is.
Well not if Intel do their usual thing and give up on their entry into dGPUs!Wonder if instead of people moaning about AMD drivers,now they will moan about Intel ones?!![]()

Pricing all these adventures is hard (plus it would have to adjusted for inflation), but a short list includes:
so yes, they have made so much profit over the decades but being the size they are also means they have wasted so much money it is hard to keep track. The above must be close to $10 billion in today's money.
- Entry into networking when they were worried about Cisco and Juniper etc. Some of the work did lead somewhere.
- Larrabee aka x86 everywhere. A minor spin-off did launch as Knights Landing etc.
- Contra revenue to try save Atom. Dumping is illegal in some markets and segments but this wasn't quite the same.
- 4G and 5G modems
- McAfee
- some other things I've forgotten?
Well not if Intel do their usual thing and give up on their entry into dGPUs!
knowing intel, they will probably end up contracted to buy a pallet full of these for every 3 pallets of CPUs they wantI expect the likes of Dell, HP, and Lenovo will buy them by the pallet-load.
they are? explainIntel are behind AMD in the technology curve
Intel are about 3 generations behind TSMC in fab technology.

Nvidia's actions at the Titan V launch say everything.
The card was launched with Gaming drivers but not Professional drivers.
Or in other words it was a very expensive gaming card.
The other things that Nvidia did was limit the memory to 12GB and disable NVLink.
Again this is fine for gaming but does limit its professional uses.
As to all the tech sites they were totally blind sided when the Titan V launched as they had zero knowledge or rumours that the card even existed and it came as a complete surprise to all of them.
