The next Ti will eviscerate this for gaming I imagine as loads of the die is used up by Tensor cores that do nothing unless you are running specialised machine learning software.

Well if you look at the GP102 and GP100,the GP102(471MM2) and the GP100(610MM2) had the same amount of cores,but the former used GDDR5X and had cut down FP16 and FP64 performance,but actually had higher FP32 performance(which is relevant for gaming) since it could boost higher.

50% faster than a 1080ti yet the price is like 6 times the price of a 1080ti

sorry also whats the point of releasing a $599 sli bridge if it not capable of sli? i cant see any logic here, hmmm is there any logic in spending 2700 quid on this gpu then?

ALSO:

How come everyone on the gpu forums are so rich? i mean theres someone whos stating the price of this gpu is the same as his tyre cost and someone stating he spends 2700 quid a month on childcare, i didnt know we are all millionaires here yet i scrape at the OCUK clearance section on a daily basis.

That 599 bridge is not a sli bridge, it's a NVLink bridge. But even that nor SLI is supported for this card. If your asking what the point of this card is, then simply put its not for you It's for those who can actually leverage the tensor cores and double precision elements this card brings to the table for things like deep learning and for those sort of things, this is a beast of a card and while it's at a premium, it's better then anything else competing against it.

So in theory on paper it should be 50% faster in games than a titan Xp/1080ti. So finally a card which can run everything in 4k 60fps.

Wish there was some awesome step up one year like the 8800GTX was and we got a 100% strp up one year.

Not sure if will be though:

Its made on a lower leakage 12NM process(which is basically an improved TSMC 16NM one),but clockspeeds are down over the Titan Xp. More importantly look at the FP32 performance,which is what most games use.

You have to realise this is one massive chip!!

Got to say kudos to Nvidia and TSMC to be able to make such a monster work - its probably one of the biggest chips ever made!!

Ampere,OTH,might be the range which distils the best of Volta,and cuts away all the stuff which is not required and will be better optimised for gaming. That is what is being released next year!

Wait for the Ti model that is just as fast in games, MUCH better cooling, Power delivery and costs £2000 less

Ti's for the cheapskates that can't afford the real deal.

Titan or nothing.

So, who is buying one?

The Ti will be (a lot) better than this for gaming, it's only 10% faster than the TitanXP in 32 bit floating point! The Titan V is a LOT quicker for double precision though.

They will probably release a new gaming Titan later on.

That's what I was referring to the Titan gaming version. I don't need all the deep learning **** the Titan V has.

I just want the Titan gaming version to have HBM2 memory!

More than likely they will put the cheaper GDDR in the Ti version.

The kind of 'baller' who has that kinda money I imagine wouldn't be the type to sit around playing videogames on a £3000 GPU?

Maybe I am wrong..

As soon as you add a competetive element, people will be willing to pay anything. ESports is going to make gamers open their pockets. I've seen this kind of thing happen in cycling and triathlon, where even kid's/teenagers are racing on £6000 bicycles these days. The PC/Gaming/eSports market is ripe for stuff like £1200 carbonfiber PC cases, £600 3D printed titanium gaming mice etc. "One upmanship" does that to people, if they think they gain an advantage. Intel already made the step with a £1800 CPU.

There are elements of that, sure. Just not to that degree. Competitive play is still at 1080p. There's no real push for this kind of GPU horsepower.

As soon as 144hz+ 4K monitors and 4K VR headsets are released, there will be no such thing as an overpowered gaming PC for a long time.

This is why I have stepped away from PC gaming for a while. It evolves so fast, sometimes ridiculously and is a complete money pit. Money that I really haven't got, so I lead a far more relaxed life by just sticking with my PS4 and 970 for the odd strategy game.

But good luck to those who get it though. If you've got it, flaunt it, is what I say.

Sooooo... learn how to move with the times... then you can fuel your habbit and make profit for other things... that's what I did... it's not hard if you have above average intelligence

Will be very interested to see how it does.

I can write it off as business cost, so claim the VAT back... bringing it down to £2,250 a pop... still expensive... but if it can pay for itself in 6 months then it's a reasonable investment.

As you can tell... I'm trying really hard to talk myself into buying 2 or 4. Doesn't matter if only 1 can be used for gaming... I rarely use both my Titan XPs for gaming, 1 is enough at 3440x1440... so while gpu 1 games, gpu2 continues to mine.

Depending on the hashrate, the S9 might still be the better investment... let's see how it does.

Likewise, pair through the business and mining only.
