There is a lot of GPU here, but is it a worthy addition to the Titan series?

I'm quite interested in it's machine learning/deep learning capabilities considering that's what it was really built for, Would be very interesting to see a program take full advantage of it and see it working in real time.

Feck dat, show me the games !

I wonder if one of these could successfully utilize the new 4K 144Hz displays coming out, By that I mean full eye candy in a game like Crysis 3 at 4K with FPS beyond 100 or even 60.

I surpose the way to look at this announcement is that now they have done this for the professional end of the market, that the volta based gpu's for us mear mortals is coming closer in the future. But who really knows with Nvida

The GeForce variant may not even launch, They may go straight to Ampere like the "leaks" suggest.

Yep, that could be very likely too

Also this -
Anyone buying it for gaming, Best of luck to them if they do, Is wasting so so so much in the way of raw horsepower as a big chunk of the card will simply not be used, Hence why I think Nvidia may well skip Volta GeForce cards like the leaks suggest.

If you truly need it then YES it is worth the money. We can't argue the price because there is no alternative. AMD can't beat 3 year old architecture, which is just tuned Maxwell, and that makes it even older, and nVidia can charge you what they want. If you need it you will buy it.
Example:
I don't do video editing, but i do music and music production. The best CPU on the World at the moment for music production is 7980XE. No Xeon can beat it. It is the way music software works. If i was investing in serious production studio that would be the CPU i would go for, and 3000 Euro sound card (yes they exist). So for me 7980XE would be worth the money. Because i would need it, and there is no alternative. It is twice the price, but it is 2x faster than Threadripper in music production tasks. It demolishes AMD so hard that there is no competition. So Intel can charge me as much as they want because i can't buy other CPU.

Not to sure about the DP but it has 600 tensor cores designed specifically for deep learning tasks which will not be used in gaming.

This does have the stuff for Doube precision compute. This is full-fat GV100 after all. This isn't like the Pascal Titan where Nvidia had cut off the unnecessary pieces.
One of the reasons why this is so expensive is the fact that it uses full GV100, everything is there.
On the topic of Volta, TBH the architecture simply appears to be Pascal on 12nm with the addition of Nvidia's machine learning tech. Take the Double precision and Tensor cores away from Volta what do we have? Nvidia has never listed what other improvements they offer with Volta, so it is hard to know how much of a leap Volta is aside from the insane CUDA core count and increased memory bandwidth.
Nvidia even lists this GPU as part of their GTX 10 series on their drivers website... not differentiating Volta from Pascal on the gaming side.

I would love to see some reviews on this JUST gaming specs as that is what is more interesting for me.
As for workloads then a head on battle with Nvidias current work horse would be interesting.

It's not a gaming card, so why care how it fares in that department.
SLI is abandoned and thus dead.
Mark, where does it say it's still the 10 series? Weird move by them.

When you get the latest drivers the Titan V is listed with the 10 series cards in the same way as the Titan Xp is.
As to SLI I don't think it is dead quite yet but the reason there is no mGPU with the Titan V is so that they can launch the card with minimum hassle to themselves. To support SLI NVidia would have had to produce a new PCB for the card instead of using the existing one. They also could not enable NV Link as this would require a special motherboard that supports it and also I think it may have needed different drivers to get it to work.
I do think next year we will see SLI capable Volta cards which also use GDDR5(X) or even GDDR6 with a different PCB and there could even be another Volta Titan using the same configuration (my guess).
I think this Volta Titan is a one off to enable NVidia to shift some cards without disrupting manufacturing of their other Volta professional cards and we will see the proper Volta cards in the middle of next year.

Thank you Kaap!
Sounds about right to me. No real ampère info either and the one off mention I found suspect already. We'll see...
I do think they're phasing out SLI, which they started this year. It's a problematic, fewer and fewer implemented technology.

What will be interesting is to see the Volta Titan benched as this will give useful info on what NVidia will launch next, whether it will be gaming Volta cards or Ampere cards.
If the Volta Titan is quite a bit faster than a Titan Xp (about 35% or more) we will most likely see more Volta cards as there will be little point rushing out Ampere.
