What brave soul will put this card to the test and reveal its potentially mega hashrate??

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/titan/titan-v/

damn that looks good

12 hbm2 and 250tdp, 3k price tag though.

Are they seriously already launching the new line and making our cards obsolete so fast?? We're not really threatened by the Titan X due to the price, but if the rest of the Volta line comes out we're screwed.

Yeah especially if HBm2 memory becomes the standard which may make the vega cards we've been buying lose a lot of value as well. Also it could crush some serious sols/s.

It has been done, it will be tested this weekend ... Live for all of you.

Are there even drivers for it to mine?

One way to find out right?

my god 110 Teraflops !

vega os 25 teraflops max and 1080ti i think is 30 teraflops

Nividia cannot be stopped lol

still though 3k is high it should be around 2k

But can it run crysis?

Possibly yes, but i heard it runs minesweeper in 4k at 900 FPS.

Will be interesting to see the first test results. They should be good, but not "6x-Vega-good". Obviously not a retail oriented card, so the real candidates for RX series replacement will naturally be the GTX versions.

The problem with the 6x vega statement is trying to find 6x vega these days ;)

I bought one and it crashed hard when i tried to run gorillas.bas program.

the specs are the same of the tesla v100 (based as well on volta) so dont expect great numbers... approx 2000 h/s  on xmr for a 3k usd card.... meh...

Well either way its a a sign Volta standard gpu is not too far off for us mining geeks.

Just ordered 12 pcs for my two new rigs ;)

My best 1080Ti card does 754 Sol/S @ 3.72 Sol/W while consuming 208 Watts (Max power on that card is 330 Watts - MSI Sea Hawk EK)

If this new volta is twice as efficient at the same power level, is it conceivable that it would be able to do about 1,500 Sol/S @ 7.44 Sol/W?

If so, I'd gladly pay $1,500 for such a card, but not $3,000.   :)

 Sometime NEXT YEAR for the rest of the Volta line - that timeline was pushed back some as they ORIGINALLY had said "4Q 2017" for Volta line release.

 I'd wait for a 1180 ti (or 2080 ti, whichever they decide to call it) as the Titan V is WAY too bloody expen$$$$ive to mine on - like ALL "new release" Titans have been.


 I'd also bet that the Volta line will be more like 20% more efficient at best - it's NOT a new node, just an enhancement on the current 14/16nm node.



 The Pascal Tesla was also HBM - but that didn't trickle down even as far as the Pascal-based Titans.
 I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not that the Volta-based Titan is HBM.


 Also, that 110 TFLOP figure is for HALF PRECISION 4x4 matrix math on the AI part, the REAL TFlop figure is 13.8 SINGLE precision and 6.9 DOUBLE precision (both noticeably better than the Titan Xp much less the 1080 ti).

That's weird. The math says that should be 3.625, not 3.72.

Regardless, 208w saved per hour would come out to $19/mo in electric savings. That'd take 7 years to bridge the price difference between what you're willing to pay vs what it costs.

We might as well wait until March/April when the consumer level volta cards are released.

What do you mean so fast?  The 10 series is a year and a half old.  Maybe Nvidia should just stop releasing new products so that some miners won't have obsolete cards....  ::)

Its always a sad day for miners when new cards get released  :'( but it is also fun, one has do decidide, DO WE CONTINUE?! YES!

Weekend almost over, how's it coming BBT?

New card means fun putting together a new rig!

Good job on spending $3200+ for the Titan. Was looking forward to watching someone become the guinea pig  do the first benchmarks. I hope you at least recoup part of your investment with your youtube live streaming ads. Im banking it doesn't do much better than the VEGA or the 1080ti. Similar to all the hype of the VEGA claiming to be able to do at least 70MH on ethash.

We need optimized mining software for this card. Even if you manage to mine successfully with the existing mining software, the "Tensor" cores are idling so you dont use the full potential of the silicone, wasting money. I think the "big fishes" will be interested in this card once they get hold of an optimized miners for this card.

BBT where is the damn review?   

The thing is once consumer Volta comes out we will find out if Volta is actually any good at mining. Chances are more consumer oriented cards will hash faster than this and will be cheaper. Even if “gaming” Volta cards are slower, you’ll likely be able to buy more for less money than a single Titan V. More of a toy right now than anything.

Since the tensor cores are designed for 4 x 4 MATRIX FP16 operations, the question is "can they be used for mining at all?".

Gaming Volta cards will be lower core and/or smaller/slower RAM - just like when the original Titan was introduced on Pascal, then the 10xx cards followed it.

Core clocks might be a little higher on the smaller cards though, like in the Pascal line (lots less cores generating heat allowing for higher clocks).
