In a surprise announcement, Nvidia has unveiled a new Titan V GPU, utilizing the powerful Volta architecture that it debuted back in May with the $10,000 Tesla V100. The good news is that this new card is a streamlined version designed for the PC, coming in at only $3,000. The reveal, made by Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang at the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) in Long Beach, CA, should be welcomed by those looking for top-of-the-line power in their PCs, without having to pay the premium price of the specialized, yet cumbersome, V100. Huang said the new Titan V sports nine times more power than its predecessor, with 110 TFLOPS, offers 12GB of HBM2 memory, and has more than 21 billion transistors. It is designed to be a slimmed down version of the V100, in much the way the 1080 TI was a scaled down model of the Titan Xp. The V100 offered 16GB of HBM2 memory, a 1.75Gbps transfer rate, and a 4,096-bit interface, while the Titan V brings the previously mentioned 12GB, 1.7Gbps memory data rate, and three 3,072-bit memory paths.
