TITAN V benched against GTX 1080 Ti: $2999 versus $699 NVIDIA's new TITAN V benched against GTX 1080 Ti, is 87% faster in Superposition at 1080p By: Anthony Garreffa \| NVIDIA announced its monstrous new TITAN V a few days ago, an AI/deep learning focused graphics card that costs a whopping $2999. In the usual fashion, benchmarks have now been teased against the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. A perfect comparison considering the GTX 1080 Ti is $699, and the TITAN V is $2999. titan-benched-against-gtx-1080-ti-2999-versus-699_06 The benchmarks aren't official, and were posted by Reddit user 'MrOmgWtfHaxor' who said they are the results of "someone posting benchmark results in the NVIDIA Discord". The comparison was between a GTX 1080 Ti heavily overclocked under LN2 at a we-won't-see-this-in-the-mortal-realm GPU frequency of 2.5GHz while the new TITAN V was clocked modestly at 1.8GHz. NVIDIA's new TITAN V was also overclocked by 170MHz which resulted in nearly 10% more 3DMark FireStrike scores, from 32,774 to 35,991. Moving onto Unigine's stressful Superposition test, the TITAN V was capable of 5222 in the 8K Optimized test, while it scored 9431 in the 1080p Extreme presetr. An overclocked GTX 1080 Ti by KINGPIN at 2581MHz (!!!) only scored 8642 in the same test, meaning the TITAN V is an utter monster in comparison to the GTX 1080 Ti. But what about games? Under the highest settings in 1080p, the TITAN V manages around 66FPS average in Rise of the Tomb Raider, 158FPS average in Gears of War 4, and 88FPS in Ashes of the Singularity. This means that the TITAN V is around 25-30% faster than the GTX 1080 Ti in gaming - all run on an Intel Core i7-6700K processor. Read more: tweaktown.com

Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index Sustainability The continuous block mining cycle incentivizes people all over the world to mine Bitcoin. As mining can provide a solid stream of revenue, people are very willing to run power-hungry machines to get a piece of it. Over the years this has caused the total energy consumption of the Bitcoin network to grow to epic proportions, as the price of the currency reached new highs. The entire Bitcoin network now consumes more energy than a number of countries, based on a report published by the International Energy Agency. If Bitcoin was a country, it would rank as shown below. digiconomist.net Good Read... * * *
