1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:09,519
let's begin with the important stuff the v in titan v isn't a roman numeral there

2
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:15,040
have actually been six titans now making this one number seven

3
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:18,400
instead it directly signifies the volta

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:20,480
architecture that this card is based on

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:26,000
and to further drive home the point that it is not a gaming oriented card NVIDIA

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:33,120
has decided to forego the GeForce gtx in the product name not

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:38,160
that we won't game on it of course after i tell you guys about ifixit their

8
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,719
protec toolkit gives you the tools you need to tackle any electronics repair

9
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:54,559
challenge visit ifixit.com forward slash Linus at the link below to learn more

10
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:00,079
so to help manage overhead our test setup is a little different this time

11
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:05,920
around we're going to be testing our productivity and our gaming loads on our

12
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:11,040
z270 bench for its fast per thread performance while we'll be doing our

13
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,880
scientific testing on our x299 bench

14
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:17,680
where those workloads are more likely to benefit from the extra CPU cores

15
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:25,600
let's kick things off then with the boring sciency stuff i'm just kidding so

16
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:28,080
titan v manages a higher

17
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:34,640
percentile frame rate in deus ex mankind divided than the second place titan xps

18
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,759
in directx 11 mode then it continues the

19
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,560
curb stompage in directx 12. middle

20
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:46,079
earth shadow of war also sees a huge spike in performance over the titan xp

21
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:51,200
and while assassin's creed origins dials things back a little the titan v still

22
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:57,280
ends up on top so i don't even really need to say it but given these scores

23
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:02,719
and our synthetic results titan v is right now hands down the fastest card on

24
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:08,800
the market for gaming and it isn't even supposed to be

25
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:11,760
what sets this titan apart is its fp16

26
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:16,959
and fp64 performance along with the inclusion of NVIDIA's new tensor cores

27
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:22,720
which are special compute units that are optimized for deep learning and ai

28
00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:27,520
oh and while we're at it NVIDIA is also showing off hbm2 memory for the first

29
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:32,239
time in a titan so v does end up with a smaller frame

30
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:39,680
buffer than the vega workstation cards or the hbm2 equipped quadro gp100

31
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:44,920
but it may end up making up for that

32
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:48,239
through sheer brute force its whopping

33
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:51,840
5120 cuda cores should make it the

34
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:53,280
fastest card available for compute

35
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,959
should but when we first took the shrink wrap

36
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:01,840
off and loaded up some compute benchmarks we actually found that many

37
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:07,360
cuda focused tasks simply wouldn't run well it turns out

38
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:12,319
that while previous generation cards were built around cuda compatibility

39
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:15,360
version 6.1 and earlier

40
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:18,800
volta and by extension the titan v bumps

41
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,120
this up to 7.0 and new compute kernels

42
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:26,640
need to be compiled to support it so blender most coin mining algorithms and

43
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:30,799
other tests were affected with users reporting even more incompatibilities

44
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,720
that we didn't see oh i'm getting flashbacks to the vega

45
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:39,599
frontier edition thankfully the opencl layer still works

46
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:45,519
though so we can get rough numbers for benchmarks that support NVIDIA cards in

47
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:48,239
opencl mode with the caveat that opencl

48
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:52,959
does have some overhead compared to cuda starting off with luxmark we've got

49
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:58,640
wow are these numbers even right

50
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,599
luxmark is super paralyzed so those

51
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:08,799
extra cuda cores pulled double the performance of the titan xp and

52
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:11,200
far higher than even the quadro gp100

53
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:16,720
chaos group's render suite v-ray brings us another win for the titan v shaving a

54
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:21,440
cool three seconds off the gp 100 in second place moving on to compubench we

55
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:25,919
see the gap close for the level set segmentation benchmarks but then the

56
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:31,040
titan v pulls way out ahead in the computer vision optical flow benchmark

57
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:36,720
leaving everything else well in the dust and it continues to assert its dominance

58
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:40,800
in most of spec view perf where 3ds max

59
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:43,280
kittia maya energy and showcase all have

60
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,520
it at the top but it should be noted that the quadros do fire back in some of

61
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:52,639
the other tests thanks to their enhanced driver code paths

62
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:53,520
as for coin mining well the rumors are

63
00:04:52,639 --> 00:05:00,160
true it is a beast especially an eighth hash

64
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:06,000
but with that said the three thousand dollar price tag is going to kill your

65
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:12,400
roi time and it doesn't even win in every scenario vega frontier handily

66
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:12,400
outperforms it in kryptonite

67
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:20,320
that's a lot of testing and it looks like volta is mostly living

68
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:22,000
up to its promises so far but we've got

69
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:28,320
one more test up our sleeves for its compute performance deep learning

70
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:31,360
using imagenet 12 on caf2 titan v

71
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,520
managed a significant lead at both

72
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,720
tested batch size thanks to its tensor cores

73
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:43,520
but maybe even more interestingly it even wins without them enabled

74
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:46,400
against the gp 100 a truly monstrous

75
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:52,880
feat because for context you guys that card is still almost triple the

76
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:55,039
price well okay then lioness fine

77
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,880
volta is great for compute big whoop what does that mean for me

78
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,400
okay i'll get to that first we need to talk about thermals and

79
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:09,840
power because this bit is really important while titan v manages to throttle a bit

80
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:13,039
harder than the gp100 and the gtx 1080

81
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:15,680
ti in our testing and while it has the

82
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:19,840
second highest idle power draw in our entire test lineup

83
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,759
thanks at least partially to NVIDIA using tsmc's 12 nanometer manufacturing

84
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:30,000
process it's also got the lowest full load power

85
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:35,120
draw which is bonkers considering everything we know about its overall

86
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:41,280
performance so then back to your question what this means for you is that

87
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,680
the slightly cut down and maybe

88
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:49,440
higher clocked enthusiast consumer variants without any tensor cores are

89
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,199
going to be mind-bogglingly fast

90
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:57,280
but that's a conversation for another day here and now what we have is a

91
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:00,319
quadro killer at a third of the price

92
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:02,560
for most workloads and one that can game

93
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:05,360
faster than anything that's ever come before it

94
00:07:03,919 --> 00:07:11,360
though i'm not saying you should go out and buy one if raw horsepower for compute is your

95
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:16,960
jam and you won't benefit from a bigger frame buffer or multi GPU with nvlink

96
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,440
these connectors they're dead you're looking at your next card right

97
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:26,080
here though you'll need to roll your own cuda kernels or wait until compatibility

98
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:31,199
level 7 is mainstream by which time there will probably be a quadro variant

99
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:37,199
as for the gamers well the lack of g-force in the branding says

100
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:40,080
it all it is just not worth it even for

101
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:42,240
you mr or ms mega baller over there i mean

102
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:46,400
do you really want something that's not even sli compatible anyway

103
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:49,840
so you have to run a single card in your system like some kind of a peasant

104
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,960
so think of the v not as something to buy

105
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:58,960
but as more of a teaser for what may come in 2018

106
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:04,879
i know that i'm feeling sufficiently teased right about now

107
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:08,479
speaking of teasing freshbooks they don't tease they give you the whole
