I think ill grab the Ti version of this, just one though, no SLI this time around.

This his point - one of the HBM2 stacks is failed so they are repurposing them as Titans to recoup costs.

For $3000 the performance is pretty good for compute. People are also forgetting that the Titan's are the only consumer card that can run in TCC mode - which is why compute companies chose the Titan X over the 1080Ti.

Volta generation for gamers would be totally unprofitable. Volta was just a little bit improved Pascal generation, and because gamers dont need tensors or expensive HBM2 so we would not see Volta 1180/2080ti 1180/2080GTX anyway. But titan series is another story, 3000$ for just 3tflops more compared to titnaXp 🙂. I would rather buy 2'nd 1080ti, or wait for next GTX 1180/2080 line based on Ampere architecture

Jibberish.
The difference will be more then you think 1080ti vs 1180ti.

You could have said the same thing about Pascal when GP100 was released - it's one architecture but the chips themselves clearly serve different markets. A consumer variant of Volta wouldn't have tensor cores, FP64 or HBM2.

Interesting...

J. W. Christ, 5120 cores that's two GTX 1080 in one chip!

I see GTX no where on this card. I wonder how well it will perform in games?
This is a good sign that we will see a GV104 based card first quarter of the new year.

I wonder how much the overall performance will suffer due to lower bandwidth: 900 ->650 GB/s
Funny thing is how EVERYONE was wrong in Volta predictions:
- Nvidia shows new 815mm2 GV100 in June 2017.
- Newb:
Nice. I want.

FFS nooo This is HPC card. This has nothing to do with their gaming card. They need to cut FP64 and Tensor cores for consumer version. Q1/Q2 2018 at the earliest.
-Expert#2:
I expect Pascal shrink. Volta stays in HPC space. Q2/Q3 2018 at the earliest.
-December 2017:
Titan V/GV100 shows up in NV shop. Identical to V100, except for lacking 1 HBM stack.

I would still think Tensor and FP64 will not be in GTX variants (GV106, GV104, GV102).

I don't see this as any sign at all, except that they have released a consumer version of the Volta card.
How did you come about your statement ?
Denial
I think when most people say consumer they mean GTX series - Titan doesn't even carry the Geforce branding anymore and it's a $3000 card - most people were obviously predicting a usual $1000-1500 titan release and basing the specs on that price.
I personally don't consider Titan a consumer card.

That cost more than my motorcycle...lmao

Ridiculous, they are just preparing your anus. I´ll just put my money on NIB crt displays for retro gaming until nvidia decide to get off their high horse

Common sense. If Nvidia is releasing any consumer variant of Volta it is a sign that GTX versions are in the works.
They likely have GV104 and GV106 ready and are just waiting on GDDR6 availability.
This is my opinion, if you could not tell that from my original post then I don't know what to tell you.
You should just get out of PC gaming now.

If tensor cores are build into a chip, so how they can remove them from the chip? I'm guessing they would have to build new chip (gaming variant), without tensors, at least that's what I think.

So just to get this straight... For an extra 3 teraflops op performance and a tad bit more memory bandwidth you have to cough up $1800 extra???? Hahahahaha Nvidia saw that man coming whoever you are.
Loophole35
Just like they did with pascal. GP102 has no SP64 at all but has the same number of SP32 cores as GP100.

Hilbert i want a December contest for this thing, make it happen!...

But can it run Crysis?
