Nvidia launches Titan V for SEK 31,500 - first out with Volta for PC users

Since the Kepler architecture, Nvidia has been in the habit of releasing graphics cards in the so-called Titan series, which houses a full-scale version of the world’s fastest graphics circuit at a sky-high price tag. Now the company is using the series to introduce the Volta architecture to PC users.

The new Nvidia Titan V breaks records in the Titan class with a recommended price tag of a sky-high SEK 31,500 – around three times higher than previous models. This includes the GV100 graphics circuit manufactured by TSMC at 12 nanometers and measuring at a record-breaking 815 mm².

Like the Tesla V100 calculation card, it is a scaled-down variant, where 80 of a total of 84 SMX clusters are activated. This gives 5,120 CUDA cores which have a GPU Boost of 1,455 MHz for a theoretical computing power of 14,899 GFLOPS – almost 23 percent higher than the current flagship Titan XP.

Close to the circuit is its 12 GB graphics memory, which is of the HBM2 type, which is the same technology AMD uses for the Radeon RX Vega 64 and RX Vega 56. This is connected to a memory bus that has been scaled down from 4,096 bits to a width of 3,072 bits. , which with an effective memory frequency of 1,700 MHz provides a bandwidth of 652.8 GB / s.

The big draw for the graphics card is the Tensor cores Nvidia introduced with Volta. These are tailored for machine learning calculations and in the Titan V case there is a massive computing power of 110 TFLOPS for deep learning. Like the memory bus, this is lower than the Tesla V100 which is specified at 120 TFLOPS.

While the Titan V on paper is weaker than the Tesla V100, it also has a lower TDP value of 250 W instead of 300 W. This is in line with previous Titan models from Nvidia and allows the graphics card to be powered by an 8-pin and a 6-pin PCI Express connector.

Furthermore, the graphics card itself is a well-known cooling solution, where Nvidia has given a more exclusive touch by gilding the aluminum casing. This houses a so-called steam chamber which is connected to a solid cooling flange in copper, which is cooled by a radial fan which ensures that hot air is blown out of the chassis.
