The NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan V benchmarks have been leaked, and they show which graphics processing unit (GPU) is king, though for a hefty fee of $3,000. This, however, did not stop some PC enthusiasts from testing the graphics and gaming capability of the Titan V. These results are out now, though people should be advised that they are not official.
A Redditor named MrOmgWtfHaxor has revealed via a Reddit thread the results of the benchmarks for the said GPU. There is no way to guarantee the authenticity of the numbers other than having someone with their own Titan V post similar or identical results, so the following stats are best taken with a grain of salt.
The most notable synthetic benchmark results are that from 3DMark Fire Strike where at stock speeds, the Titan V scored 32,774, while an overclock of 170 megahertz (MHz) raised it up to 35,991. By comparison, the previous Titan Xp model and NVIDIA's most expensive consumer-grade GPU, the GTX 1080 Ti, can yield approximately 28,000.
Another synthetic benchmark which showed the performance leap of the Titan V was done with Unigine Superposition where it scored 9,431 points with the 1080p Extreme preset. For comparison, the GTX 1080 Ti only scored 8,642 in the same benchmark preset while running at a clock speed of 2,581 MHz, made possible by liquid nitrogen overclocking.
Meanwhile, the gaming benchmarks of the Titan V showed it pulling ahead of the GTX 1080 Ti by as much as 26 percent in all the tested games, which were "Rise of the Tomb Raider," "Gears of War 4," and "Ashes of the Singularity." This was quite impressive, especially for a video card which was not made for gaming, though GPU users are best advised to stick to consumer-grade GPUs from NVIDIA since the Titan V is $2000 more expensive than the GTX 1080 Ti.
Dubbed as "the most powerful PC GPU ever created," the Titan V was primarily created for researchers, developers, and scientists working in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, hence the price tag.
