image for NVIDIA Announces “NVIDIA Titan V" Video Card: GV100 for $3000, On Sale Now

A mere 7 months after Volta was announced with the Tesla V100 accelerator and the GV100 GPU inside it, NVIDIA continues its breakneck pace by releasing the GV100-powered Titan V, available for sale today.

NVIDIA Compute Accelerator Specification Comparison Titan V Tesla V100.

The Titan V, by extension, sees the Titan lineup finally switch loyalties and start using NVIDIA’s high-end compute-focused GPUs, in this case the Volta architecture based V100.

In this sense the Titan V is a return to form of sorts to the professional side of prosumer for the Titan family.

NVIDIA has confirmed that the Titan V gets the GV100 GPU’s full, unrestricted FP64 compute and tensor core performance.

As mentioned earlier, NVIDIA is unsurprisingly pushing this as a compute accelerator card, especially considering that Titan V features tensor cores, and keeping the TITAN branding as opposed to GeForce TITAN.

The $3000 price tag is quite high, even by Titan standards, but with the rare Tesla V100 PCIe card going for around $10,000, the Titan V is markedly cheaper. »
