NVIDIA Titan V Graphics Card Benchmarks
The first benchmarks of the new NVIDIA Titan V Volta Graphics Card have arrived. The numbers include Ashes of Singularity, Ashes of Singularity DX12, Rise of The Tomb Raider - Max 1440p, Gears of War 4 and Superposition Benchmark 1080p Extreme.
The benchmarks have not been validated and have surfaced on Reddit, These are results of someone posting benchmark results in the Nvidia Discord. With its 5120 Shader processor cores and a 2999 USD the card certainly is showing nice numbers, I placed the Superposition Benchmark 1080p Extreme result set in our own table for comparison, you can check out the rest in by clicking the screenshot thumbnails below.
If you look at the results from a GPU bound perspective, the card is a serious chunk faster compared to a reference clocked GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, though we have to mention that most AIB cards sold are clocked faster slash tweaked at defaults, often offering a good 5% extra performance over a reference model and over 10% when manually tweaked.
Unfortunately, we cannot validate these results as the real thing, but if you ask my personal opinion then yes, they sure seem to be. I'll leave the usual disclaimers in place for you to decide in terms of validity.
Update: a user on reddit just posted the following numbers as well:
My box is an 8700k, Asrock Z370m-ITX/ac, DDR4-3000, Titan V, Samsung 950 Evo. Happy to spend a few hours today running benches and posting results.
Note - I'm not going to spend any (more) money buying games to benchmark, so stick to freely available stuff.

Is it just me, or is that really disappointing? I mean, it's supposed to be the next generation of cards, and within that, the uppest high end version. Yet it barely is faster than the previous one....
I guess here it again shows that nVidia has no competition and is just selling sand for gold.

Did you forget to take your medication? Titan V is 42% faster over Titan Xp! Imagine a 1180/2080 (whatever naming they move on forward) with +40% more performance over the last generation. I don't think that's bad a all! Now the price, we will have to wait and see what they come up with but in late years it SUCKS!

Impressive when you think about it.
10% of the card is probably sleeping and another 10% does not know what to do with the gaming load.
This card is not made for gaming and a gaming card could probably be sold for 1000$ cheaper with the same gaming performance, but this card is still going to sell no problem oddly enough.

Artificial benchmark scores don't really interest me although in that particular test the Titan V is clearly a LOT faster than a GTX 1080 Ti. I'm far interested to see how Volta performs in games though but there is absolutely no way I would EVER pay $3,000 for a graphics card (well, unless I won the lottery or something and money was no object).
The pricing of the Titan V does leave me concerned as to how much the inevitable GTX 2080 Ti (or GTX 1180 Ti) will cost. NVIDIA have been ramping up the prices of the high-end consumer cards by £100+ for the past few years now and I would not be surprised to see them selling for £800+, essentially the same price the Titans were selling for a few years back. Unfortunately, NVIDIA have no competition in the high end marker, they know that, and that's why they can get away with charging whatever they like. People will buy them regardless just as some people will pay $3,000 for a Titan V to pay games on just so they can brag about having the fastest card. NVIDIA are basically the Apple of the graphics card industry, right now.

Nvidia is really flexing those muscles, yes? Almost 30 - 40 % faster than the 1080ti which was THE FASTEST gaming card on the market just yesterday. This is unheard of honestly. Previously, AMD and Nvidia were trading blows, more or less, and releasing cards that were perhaps 10 - 20% faster than the previous generation... but to release a gaming card out of the blue which is faster 40% than the fastest available card is... astonishing
I don't know what the motivation is for this. Obviously, they were already on the top, marking up their cards as high as they please... Now this? And no less than $3k ? Changing the game
