Generation V | Titan V Volta (2017)

[@BCSpikeFM]

19:14 The 2080 Ti is in fact using its RT cores for RTGI, but the Titan V is doing the same in software. This game does not offer a non-RT version of global illumination, as was discovered by Digital Foundry.

[@TheUnderscore_]

The Titan V's kinda goated there then my goodness

[@alexmeek610]

@@TheUnderscore_ volta aged really well as its the step between pascal and turing being the introduction of the tensor cores and having that massive 3072 bit memory bus and hbm2 memory giving it very quick bandwidth. the sad part is nvidia will never do this again as the titan v can trade blows with the 2080 ti outside of raytracing and pull ahead thanks to its memory bandwidth. it would be like if nvidia took hopper and tuned it for gaming but retained the hmb3 memory

I worked in the enterprise sector with both the 16 and 32 gb SXM2 versions of the voltas. they were ridiculous for number crunching. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bunch of gpu crypto mining hold outs running these monsters

[@olnnn]

Might be more for some specialty simulation than crypto, as far as I know the main thing they do well there is not much focus on on newer GPUs is double precision floating point performance. The titan V has 1/2 the tflops in fp64 performance as fp32 performance while a rtx 4090 only has 1:32 the fp64 performance of it's peformance when operating on fp32 and other modern gpus are similarly set up so a Titan V is actually several times faster than a 4090 in raw TFLOPS when doing fp64 math even though it's way slower at everything else. I don''t believe that is all that useful for crypto and also not super useful for AI so not a big focus on modern consumer or data center. It's mainly useful for high precision simulations and stuff which doesn't have the same market. The newer gpus have 64-bit floating point performance that

[@rj7250a]

​@@olnnnYeah, Nvidia just forgot about the HPC market, AI hype is too large. At least AMD is taking advantage of this and releasing their Instict MI cards, wich have great fp64 performace.

[@TheLibertyfarmer]

Nvidia released 'mining' cards with defective / surplus Volta cores.The CMP 100-210 and another model that the name escapes me. They are actually quite good on a number of algos they have ~3080 level hash rates with slightly less efficiency. They aren't able to be repurposed for gaming rigs though. PCI-e bandwidth is nerfed and IIRC it lacks driver support for rasterization.

[@falklumo]

@@olnnn When comparing fp32, one should not take TF32 performance as FP32, it is a different thing! The Titan V has no TF32 but FP16 which is similar.

[@RobloxianX]

@@classicgameover The 64GB of VRAM alone would make it the most future-proofed build on the planet

[@ArtyI]

​@@RobloxianXSLI cards can't share VRAM. The interface is too slow. One of the GPUs usually acts as the master and assigns work to it's slaves between its own computation tasks. So while yes, you'd have 2 x 32gb of VRAM, each card only has access to 32gb so that's still your vram limit

[@ArtyI]

Hell, it's possible that a single Titan V would perform better in games than 2

The benchmark's script forces him to fire until the coachman has expired or his compatriot has reached his mark at the back of the coach (assuming he survives the volley). Since it missed every shot without so much as grazing the target before the next step was reached (in a spectacular show of bad RNG), it skipped forward to the dynamite toss to continue the benchmark, the same dynamite that RNG rolled out of range of the horse, who was scripted to expire either way. RNGesus really said "no" at every step of that sequence without fail. 😂

The _only_ reason i was even aware of the Titan V, was because at the time, it was the first card to break 60fps at 4K very high settings, on Final Fantasy 15. Literally nothing else on the market was able to hit that threshold before it. And the Radeon VII got my hopes up for nothing as well.

[@KiraSlith]

I knew about it because the big tech tubers got into a benchmark shoot out using Titan Vs back in the day, which culminated with some 3rd party professional overclocker managing to set new record Time Spy benchmark with FOUR overclocked Titan Vs and dual liquid nitrogen cooled Intel HEDT CPUs (it might've been Kingpin, but I'm not sure).

[@troyphillips-y3e]

I love this series. I have no idea why I find different generations of GPU fascinating, but I do. I think the main reason I find GPU generation so fascinating is the price of high end cards of ceerain which then gets undercut by 500-1000 dollars price to performance in the next generation or two. It's laughable how the economics work.

There was once a rumor that Nvidia was going to push out Volta GTX cards by early 2018, but the Ethereum mining thing started happening, which raised demand for Graphics cards across the board.

[@TheBlueVaron]

What a brilliant future we could have got, instead we got the worse one…

[@gerardw.7468]

The Titan series never disappeared, they just merged it into the "consumer" class with the 90 series and this, made it more palatable. Same could be said for HEDT chips.

[@RYTISupload]

First Titan had hardware and software advantage over their Geforce counterpart, later lost all that and became just Geforce with different name so Nvidia could ask more.

[@HunterTracks]

But HEDT CPUs still exist? AMD released their new Threadripper lineup half a year ago, and Intel also released new Xeons at the start of last year.

[@AlfaPro1337]

@@HunterTracks AMD decided to went full Intel and charged more money, you think 7980XE and 9980XE costing US$2000 was ridiculous, try the latest 7995WX. Intel Xeon HEDT Workstation is close to a paper launch. CPU? Hard to find and get. Asrock, MSI, Gigabyte or even ASUS? Just 1-3 motherboard.

[@hammerth1421]

HEDT now is the degen class of consumer CPUs like the 14900KS which are literally uncoolable because the thermal conductivity of the die itself is the limiting factor. Modern Threadripper is just a "budget" Epyc Genoa for small businesses and Sapphire Rapids was a paper launch.

[@santiagopenanavas]

But 90 series is older than titan #GTX690 and the last intel HEDT for gaming was 2011-3 and 2066

[@S31-B23F]

I meant to comment this: Would you be interested in an AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition to test? I know of one I could send to you, not sure if the cost is worth it though.

[@falklumo]

You didn't get the memo. The Titan V is a beast in FP64 (scientific computing) and FP32 (some AI model training outside LLMs). The Titan V is 7.45 TFlops (IEEE float 64 bit). You can't buy this level of performance today even at the Titan V MSRP! (Disclaimer: I own and use Titan V for scientific computing, also some AI). I also bought some NVidia stock because and when this card came out and it earned me more than my day job...

[@goldy_on_pc930]

Nvidia saying the Titan V is not Intended for gamers sounds like when Microsoft said Flight Simulator was not a game

[@dex6316]

The Titan V was so not intended for gamers that Nvidia didn’t bother optimizing drivers for it. I was actually shocked at how smooth the card was performing in this video. All the older videos I saw in the card had good averages but terrible lows and many stutters. The Titan V was a machine learning GPU that was made able to game probably because Mr. Leather Jacket thought it would be cool.

[@shodan6401]

I know that you put a lot of time, effort and investment into this series, and in my opinion, it has really paid off. I've enjoyed every minute of all of these videos. And considering that I recently bought a water cooled 980 Ti in immaculate condition as a second GPU specifically for running games on CRT monitors and TVs, this information was also relevant. Thanks.

[@mttrashcan-bg1ro]

I see comments all the time saying that Titan cards and 90 class cards aren't for gaming, which is not entirely true. GeForce cards are primarily aimed at gaming as that's the gaming brand and only the Titan X Pascal onwards showed Titans not using the GeForce brand, otherwise the original Titan X was, and the 90 and 90Ti class cards like the 3090Ti or 4090 are just listed with the other cards of their generation, they don't have their own drivers like the Titan class.

[@ionbintf]

Hoping to see an ADA or a Blackwell RTX Titan for 4K 60 FPS in Alan Wake 2. It'll only cost $3999.

[@arenzricodexd4409]

the titan are pretty much turn into x90. probably at the request of AIB. because with the titan series nvidia did not allow partner to sell the card with their own custom design. all titan must follow nvidia refence design AND price. i think partner did not like the last part. because without their custom model they cannot charge higher price than nvidia MSRP price.

[@erisium6988]

4090 is the titan. We even had 3090ti which was exacly the same as titan V CEO

[@BeyondEllisBeck]

I think the real question is why Nvidia wont allow the tenor cores in this card to be utilized for gaming? I think its because it would outperform the newer cards they wanted to continue to sell afterwards. It would be like the iconic GTX 1080 ti but for dlss and Ray tracing.

I managed to recently get a great deal on two used Titan V cards. While I downgraded from RTX 3070 to them, they are much better of use to me with their increadible FP64 performance. While they are not as fast for gaming, they still destroy gaming cards in double precision compute work. I remember looking at these cards before with an awe, and something that I never would use. But 7 years later and Engineering degree behind, and they are a crucial part of my worktsation PC. One iteresting thing is that the mining variants of these cards are appearing on used markets, they are useless pretty much for anything but AI as they are limited by their PCIe connection.

Awesome video. Always wanted to know how it stack to 2080 Ti after those few years. Closest to Volta GeForce are GTX 16 series. However they can do Mesh Shaders (while Titan V can't). I still think however that Titan V is the fastest "GeForce" or "GTX" card ever made :) (up to this point)

[@lucasiog]

I was so incredibly sad I didn't get the Titan V... I sold my previous gpu to buy a 3080 but they all sold out so I had to make do with a Gtx 660ti instead of my old vega 64. During the scalper pandemic there was a used Titan V for 450£ but I foolishly held on hope that I could get a newgen card... seeing this I kind of wish I would've gotten it, especially since I bought my 6800xt for 1000£.

Practically you could also review RTX x090 series cards in the future as they're more or less Titans branded to gamers.

[@ABaumstumpf]

The TitanV was a great card all around - just you'd have to be loaded or insane to buy that for gaming. Also Tensor-Cores and RT-Cores are something completely different. The RT-Cores are designed for accelerating, as the name implies, raytracing. While the Tensor-cores are for high-throughput matrix-multiplications (number-crunching like is used for DLSS). Neither of them can do the work of the other.
