It has 18x the DP rate of Titan Xp for "only" 2.3x the price... so if that is your thing, it is a bargain. |

V. Thousand. CUDA Cores.
I see what you did there Nvidia.... |

To put the cost in perspective, $3000 for one Titan V GPU, and 3500€ (~$4100) for the pair of new servers for PrimeGrid.

I'd guess the Titan V will do a lot more GFN22 in a given time than the servers would, equally the servers do a lot of things the Titan V can't. |

Wow,I think what it REALLY excels at is stripping the cash from your wallet!!! And how long before it's left in the dust like has happened to the Titan XP. lol
edit: But it sure would come in handy for the winter solstice effort! :-)
edit again: And I really like how they have a limit of only TWO per customer. hahahah |

There's a difference here. Most other Titans apart from very early ones weren't based closely off the pro cards. The pro features were removed, and they were only slightly higher performance consumer cards. The V returns to those old days, and does offer some of the pro level features, for those that can make use of them. From a prime finding perspective, the high FP64 rate might be interesting, although the up front cost of course will be a barrier to most. |

What projects would benefit? GFN 22 I think but I don't know what ones use DP

GFN-21 and GFN-22 are the only two that are not beyond the OCL b limit. None of the others are able to make use of DP at all.
Presumably it doesn't have the same 1:32 DP/SP ratio as the GeForce Pascal GPUs, so OCL is likely to be faster than OCL4.

1:2 ratio! Just like the good old days. |

That looks like it's going to be really, really fast if it doesn't suffer from the over/under clocking problem that the old Nvidia GPUs used to have. But I'm not sure if OCL ever had that problem. It may have been only CUDA.

Apparently these new Titan V cards may glitch when doing scientific calculations. Early adopters beware...

There are listings for it on eBay right now with generous amounts requested.
Here is a sample from Germany at 4500 euro: https://www.ebay.com/itm/302625202422 |

I wanted to get one, but the Nvidia drivers don't want to play nice with Debian, and I'm not going to shell out three grand for something that might or might not work. Right now I have a 1080Ti installed, and with the open source drivers it doesn't even show up if you click on my computer, but it must be doing something, because Asteroids runs like crazy (~ 9 TFLOP/s).

On debian 9, I do the following to get PG working. I tested with 1070 and 1080 Ti.
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's/[^-]*-[^-]*-//') firmware-linux
sudo apt -y install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig nvidia-detect
sudo nvidia-xconfig
sudo apt -y install nvidia-opencl-icd nvidia-opencl-dev ocl-icd-libopencl1 opencl-headers
# Install boinc
sudo apt -y install boinc-client boinc-client-nvidia-cuda boinc-client-opencl
sudo systemctl enable boinc-client.service
sudo reboot

Ill have to try that. Every time I have tried installing the drivers I get the white screen of death, but I have nothing on my boot drive except the OS and a few programs that can be restored within half an hour, so I just recover by overwriting the ssd and reinstalling / apt-get update / apt-get upgrade and Im good to go.
Right now I'm running 9.5.

I got that as well. If I remember correctly, sudo nvidia-xconfig solves this. |

I haven't gotten around to trying to install the drivers yet, but if it finally works and it ends up costing me three thousand dollars, I'm going to hunt you down. :)

Actually it would end up costing more than 3K, because then I ould have a perfectly good 1080TI lying around, so I'd need a new CPU, MB, RAM, etc to go with it... I don't know who you are, but I think you're a bad influence. :)

LMAO!!! BUT think of the RAC you could have with TWO major crunchers running!!! |

True. and it would give me an excuse to build a keyboard with Box Navies. (I'm typing this on a Model M)

Dthonon,
When I am done with the last couple of tasks I have in my queue, I am going to follow your suggestion.
Will this method give me BOINC manager in GNOME, or will I have to get that separately?
