Leaked Benchmarks Depict Nvidia Titan V As Most Powerful Commercial GPU Ever

Tech companies like to boast that they have the best products in the market but until the official benchmark numbers are in, everything is suspect. With this being the case, leaked benchmarks for the upcoming Nvidia Titan V are painting the graphics card as the most powerful GPU ever released in the mass consumer market.

It’s worth noting that many of the benchmark numbers and images leaked have not been officially confirmed, Hot Hardware notes. However, if even a fraction of the details ends up being true, the Titan V can demolish every GPU that exists on the market today.

The official spec numbers for the Titan V indicates that it has a 21.1-billion transistor GV100 GPU and was made using Nvidia’s custom 12nm FFN high-performance process. It also has 5,120 CUDA cores and 640 Tensor cores, which translates to a base clock of 1,200MHz and a boost clock of 1,455MHz. The card also comes with 12GB of HBM2 memory.

Those numbers look great, but the benchmarks really put their value into perspective. Based on the results, the Titan V smokes both the Titan XP and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Some testers pushed the GPUs to the limits with methods that some might consider barbaric (i.e. dipping them in liquid nitrogen) and the Titan V still managed to come out on top.

Now, as Techspot notes, the GPU is intended to be used in fields with huge demands in processing power such as the artificial intelligence industry. The $2,999 price tag makes this fact rather obvious. On the other hand, there are gamers out there who can afford top-tier rigs with the most expensive parts available. As such, it’s not at all farfetched to say that there are going to be a few customers who will buy the Titan V for their gaming pleasure.
