Nvidia Titan V specs news: Leaked benchmarks confirm GPU is most powerful graphics card ever created
A number of unofficial benchmarks for the new Nvidia Titan V have leaked on the internet, and they seem to confirm the graphics processing unit's claim of being the most powerful PC video card ever created.
A collection of links to the benchmark results were posted by a user on the Nvidia Reddit thread. Overall, the results indicate that the Titan V trumps all of its competitors with relative ease.
When the stock version of the Titan V was put through the 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark, it yielded a score of a whopping 32,774. This score beats the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and the Nvidia Titan Xp, both of which typically score around 28,000.
The margin by which the Nvidia Titan V beats its competitors increases further when the overclocked version was tested, as it scored nearly 36,000 on the benchmark test.
Another benchmark that was leaked was Unigine's Superposition, wherein the Titan V showed impressive performance. The stock version of the graphics card scored a remarkable 9,431 in the 1080p Extreme preset test. This score is high enough to beat even the most overclocked GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
Previously, an overclocker took a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, removed its heatsink and bathed the graphics card in liquid nitrogen to overclock it to 2,581 MHz. This resulted in a score of 8,642 in the 1080p Extreme preset test of Unigine's Superposition benchmark. The Titan V still scores almost 800 points higher than this setup.
The Titan V is powered by Nvidia's new Volta GPU. The graphics card is designed for advanced computational processing that would benefit scientists and researchers with scientific simulation.
"Our vision for Volta was to push the outer limits of high performance computing and AI. We broke new ground with its new processor architecture, instructions, numerical formats, memory architecture and processor links," said NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang. "With TITAN V, we are putting Volta into the hands of researchers and scientists all over the world. I can't wait to see their breakthrough discoveries."
The Nvidia Titan V is available to purchase for $2,999.
