It’s the least I expect from a $3,000 graphics card!
NVIDIA pulled a rabbit out of its proverbial hat late last week, with the surprise announcement of the gaming-worthy Volta-based Titan V graphics card. The Titan V is another one in a flurry of Titan cards from NVIDIA as of late, and while the healthiness of NVIDIA’s nomenclature scheme can be put to the sword, the Titan V’s performance really can’t.
In the Unigine Superposition benchmark, the $3000 Titan V managed to deliver 5,222 points in the 8K Optimized preset, and 9,431 points on the 1080p Extreme preset. Compare that to an extremely overclocked GTX 1080 Ti running at 2,581 MHz under liquid nitrogen, which hit 8,642 points in the 1080p Extreme preset, and the raw power of NVIDIA’s Volta hardware is easily identified. An average 126 FPS is also delivered by the Titan V in the Unigine Heaven benchmark, at 1440p as well. Under gaming workloads, the Titan V is reported to achieve from between 26% and 87% improvements in raw performance, which isn’t too shabby, now is it?
Poring through a Reddit discussion on the Titan V’s prowess, the amount of benchmarks already in the wild is overwhelming, but a clear picture is easy to get: the Titan V is the world’s most powerful gaming card at the moment, delivering a better experience in every setting, game, and workload (be it VR gaming or rendering) than any other GPU.
In Futuremark’s VR Mark “Blue Room” benchmark, for instance, the Titan V easily delivers a score of 4,400 points – compared to the benchmark’s own base premium high-end PC scores, that’s a 1,428 points increase, delivering an above 90 FPS experience, something a GTX 1080 Ti wouldn’t be able to achieve under the same settings. On the TimeSpy benchmark, the stock Titan V delivers 11,539 points, around 1,000 points more than the average 10,500 points a GTX 1080 Ti would achieve, paired with the same processor (there are higher 1080 Ti scores, yes; there are also lower.)
