The reviews and benchmarks of the NVIDIA TITAN V would be a marketing campaign and promotion of Volta, since this solution is designed for DEEP LEARNING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Funny how much less are jumping so many reviews and information of the NVIDIA TITAN V, a graphics card supposedly intended for Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Gamer Nexus, PCPerpective and HardwareLuxx, in addition to the YouTube channel that has tested it for cryptocurrency mining, have this 'graphics card'. I don't think it's bad that it has it, but if it is focused on such a specific segment, what is the point of being tested in cryptocurrency mining or gaming?

Analyzing it, among all this 'fog' of data and information what we have is a Volta GPU and that tells us one thing: marketing. Logically, we will not see on the market a GPU with HBM2 memories and Tensor Cores for gaming, not by chance, but the way I see it NVIDIA is 'getting the hell out'. Understand this as that NVIDIA has delayed the Volta several times and at the moment, the gaming version, has no date of arrival on the market and this has caused two rumors, that the Volta in the end remain for the professional segment and some unknown Ampere GPUs from the company, of which nothing is known.

I see it as a call to order and a very clear warning to the competition, to AMD, telling them that their RX Vega, have absolutely nothing to do against the new graphics card architecture they have developed. I see the reviews as the presentation in society of Volta, I do not see a deep interest for me or for any reader of our page, any gaming fan or any amateur or professional miner in a graph that costs € 3.100, because with this amount you ride a PC monster with two GTX 1080 Ti to play at 4K @ 60FPS, very calm.

Looking at the images uploaded by Gamer Nexus (I'll leave you at the end of the post), this NVIDIA TITAN V with 12GB of HBM2 memory in four stacks of 4GB each, 5120 CUDA Cores and 640 Tensor Cores, powerfully draws my attention. 8 + 6-pin PCIe power supply. Why do I keep this detail? Because the company's flagship NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti, featuring 3584 CUDA Cores and 11GB of GDDR5X memory, also makes use of 8 + 6-pin PCIe power connectors in the reference model, which shows the efficiency Volta's powerhouse, which with 70% more CUDA Cores in the TITAN V, requires the same power as the architecture monster Pascal.

I must say that the benchmarks are interesting and everything you want, knowing how much this graphics card mines, is interesting, but relative, what is interesting is the increase in CUDA Cores while maintaining the TDP, something that AMD has not achieved with the RX Vega , which consume much more than the Pascal and the theoretical, for now, great performance in gaming, for a product without drivers optimized for gaming, 'simply' the latest NVIDIA drivers support this graphics, without more.
