NVIDIA Titan V breaks benchmarks and banks

Published

on

It wasn’t too long ago when everyone crowned the Titan Xp as the early graphics card champ of 2017. That reign didn’t last long, however, with the release of the even more benchmark-breaking Titan V.

NVIDIA is seriously calling this the “world’s most powerful GPU for the PC” and for good reason.

Based on the new Volta architecture, the Titan V is capable of 110 teraflops of raw horsepower through its 21.1 billion transistors. That’s nine times more powerful than its predecessor!

A lot of credit goes to NVIDIA’s Tensor Cores, which focus on deep learning to achieve the monstrous power. And because it’s based on a 12nm fabrication with Volta’s 12GB HBM2 memory subsystem, the Titan V is twice as efficient as the previous Pascal architecture-based cards.

So, can it run Crysis? Most definitely, but that’s not why this piece of hardware exists.

The Titan V’s primary purpose lies in artificial intelligence, deep learning, and high-performance computing. Users will have free access to NVIDIA’s AI software found on their GPU Cloud in order to maximize the card’s abilities.

Acquiring one is not cheap. The Titan V currently retails for US$ 2,999 and comes in the cool gold-and-black design you see above.

While this doesn’t feel like a serious consumer PC component with that price, the introduction of Volta is a sign of things to come for more affordable GPUs, such as the successors to the GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 series.

AMD expands Ryzen PRO 9000 series processor lineup

AMD brings 3D V-Cache technology to commercial segment

Published

on

AMD has announced an expansion of its enterprise desktop lineup with new Ryzen PRO 9000 Series processors. These are built on the Zen 5 architecture and set to debut in the second half of 2026.

This is the first time AMD is bringing its high-bandwidth 3D V-Cache technology into the commercial workstation segment.

This way, the company unlocks massive performance leaps for data-heavy professional industries.

The introduction of 3D V-Cache directly targets power users handling complex, intensive digital pipelines.

By vertically stacking additional last-level cache directly onto the processor die, the hardware drastically cuts down memory latency and accelerates data access.

Primary beneficiaries of this architecture are creative and technical professionals, including:

  • video editors and animators
  • 3D artists and VFX creators
  • engineers and architects
  • developers and data scientists

The expanded hardware lineup spans configurations from six to 16 performance cores. Power limits break past traditional limits, or up to a sustained 170 watts to maintain peak clock speeds during overnight renders.

The range also makes the lineup scalable from compact desktop systems to full-scale tower workstation systems.

The AMD Ryzen PRO 9000 series also supports up to 256GB of memory to prevent system crashes. Enterprise system rollouts are expected to begin later this year.

AMD to bring FSR Upscaling 4.1 to RDNA 3 GPUs this July

Better visuals for players on PC, consoles soon

Published

on

AMD has announced through Senior Vice President and General Manager Jack Huynh that FSR 4.1 upscaling technology is coming to RDNA 3 GPUs this July.

Huynh confirmed that Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards, among other older graphics architectures, will receive the update in July. Older RDNA 2 cards will also benefit in early 2027.

The decision directly benefits budget-conscious PC gamers and handheld console users who have opted out of expensive hardware upgrades. Instead of having to purchase new GPUs, they will simply have to download the software driver.

FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) 4.1 marks a major shift for AMD. It introduces a machine learning-powered algorithm that replaces traditional analytical upscaling.

By updating their software drivers, users can access cleaner image reconstruction, reduced motion ghosting, and better performance with FSR Upscaling 4.1 across more than 300 supported gaming titles on their RDNA 3 graphics.

Beyond desktop players, the rollout carries significant implications for the wider gaming ecosystem.

Devices like the ROG Ally X and Lenovo Legion Go run on RDNA 3 integrated graphics. This means handheld gamers will see immediate frame rate and visual fidelity improvements this summer.

Furthermore, current-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as Valve’s Steam Deck, rely on RDNA 2 architecture. This means AMD’s early 2027 roadmap lays the groundwork for massive visual optimization across the entire console market.
