No point comparing the cuda performance. Tensor cores have 110Tflops performance. Thats like 5 Vega's Wink

Not an expert on algorithms but the AI workloads seem to be pretty different from crypto. First we would need a completely new mining sowtware anyway to use the tensor cores...

Again, the Tensor cores are HALF PRECISION FLOATING POINT - not comparable to much of everything else.

They also are probably useless for mining, as mining wants INTEGER operations and "matrix" stuff isn't going to help in a mining situation.

This video card is designed for work tasks, like cards can be mined, but worse than analogs.

$3000? seriously?
Maybe this GPU is for Designer, not for mining, too expensive for mining i think Grin

But, if this card got 200 MH for ethash, worth for mining Roll Eyes

The Volta V100 cost $10,000 and does 90MH/s.

Wow, 3000$ dollars is kinda steep price. 6 cards rig = new car.
Anyway it looks like a great piece of hardware, but i do not think is 4 times better than 1080 Ti.
ROI will probably be monstrous.

Are YOU going to provide the $3000 to do so?

Hi,

as you know on the market we have a new king of GPU.
http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/nvidia-launches-titan-v-volta-graphics-card.html
how many SOLS or mhs can have this card?

best regards

Why don't you buy one and tell us?

For what it is worth,

I see 91.25MH/sec on ETH on "real" Volta V100 with 16GB HBM2...

The card is mind bendingly fast, generationally better than anything currently available, but at the price, it is certainly restricted to the very highest end of the market. I don't believe it'd make sense as a popular mining card, given current street price of V100.

Still, an amazing device.

The Titan V (Volta) is NOT specifically a AI card - it ALSO has those 5000+ CUDA cores on it.

And yes, it IS the Volta version of the Titan X (Pascal) - which has interesting implications for the high end of the rest of the Volta lineup - like "will there be a 1190/2090 model that's HIGHER than the 1180 ti / 2090 ti" or are the Volta cards going to get CUDA core count boosts across the line (and likely a price boost as well)?

On the other hand, I WOULD wait for a 1180 ti / 2080 ti version of Volta before I started figuring mining ability - and last time I checked those cards are at least a couple months out.

Also compare apples to apples - the "110 TFlops" figure is HALF PRECISION, the actual "standard" TFLops figure is 13.8 single precision TFLOPS which is a jump but not a crazy-huge one (the 6.9 DOUBLE precision TFlops however is pretty impressive 'till you factor in the COST of the card).

Volta is specially designed for Artifical Intelligence. It will really rock, don't restrict because of the price.

Holy shit that price. you can get 7 1070s for that.

If it does like 1400 sols @ 220w then i might buy just one lol

My opinion volta can't be profitable, this card looks like titan X.
As long as I remember titan x not best mining choise, but waiting for the benchmarks

for 3k $, yea. Start building your rigs with Volta.

The mining software have to be optimized to take advantage of the "Tensor" cores of the Volta GPU otherwise the difference in hash rate between 1080Ti and Titan V wont be significant. So we need new mining software tuned for Titan V.

It is really hard to tell right now how many SOLS or mhs the Nvidia Titan V has without any benchmarks done on it. And even though it will have a synthetic benchmarks done by any other reviewers as long as it is not used in any mining benchmark we will not know. However with 12gb HBM2 memory and 640 tensor cores delivering 110 TeraFLOPS of performance it along with a speculated power draw of 250w it might have a powerful potential the only draw back is the $3000 USD price tag by Nvidia.
