Announcement of a new very highend nVidia CUDA card

https://forums.adobe.com/people/Bill+Gehrke  wrote nVidia has just announced the new Titan V.   "v" is the Volta chip which is the next step beyond the current Pascal.  It has 5120 CUDA cores!  The Titan V cards also include 12GB of 1.7 Gb/s HMB2 memory that operates on a 3,072-bit memory bus and provides 653 GB/s of memory bandwidth.  These amazing specs will cost you a mere $3000 if you can find one.  It is targeted at Scientists and Researchers and of course at that price not consumers.

Let's be real clear on this: those 5120 CUDA cores will be an awesome addition to any video editing rig, but you'll be overpaying for them, but a long shot.  The Titan V is not really designed with video editors in mind (even with those CUDAs).  Or, more accurately, it's not priced with video editors in mind.  The key thing with Volta is the Tensor cores, which have absolutely no bearing on video editing whatsoever.  They're meant for AI/learning sort of stuff, and are the main reason for the $3000 price tag.  The HBM2 memory isn't helping pricing, either.

Basically this is a slightly de-contented Tesla with the GV100 chip on it.  They've removed NVLink from it, slowed the VRAM down a bit, added display ports, and done a couple of other things to differentiate it from the very expensive Tesla card.  But it is, for all intents and purposes, a Tesla card.

The GTX cards will be forthcoming.  Whether they're built from Volta or from the next gen GPU is yet to be seen.  But hopefully we'll hear something from NVidia on that soon.
