I'm starting to find the SKUs popping up.


Hopefully the manufacturers see the demand and make plenty!

Hi Charlie,

Yes NVIDIA has gone with the dual fan design to try to prevent people putting 4 or 8 of these in a server. Not to worry though I have it on good authority that a number of the card integrators (EVGA, PNY etc) will offer cards with the traditional blower design that will be suitable for 4 and 8 way configs. They should also be cheaper than the founders edition. So just be patient. :-)

All the best
Ross

Craig - Yes they aren't hitting those bounds forward that we saw in the past.

The biggest improvement in the P100 architecture was HBM2 memory, and now in Volta we have the tensor cores, which are great for neural network training but don't really help us out so far in cryoEM.

I'm looking forward to the RTX line - they offer a refresh of the consumer cards with TFLOPS ratings near Tesla speeds in single precision.  I am looking to get my hands on one to check out the cooler though - it seems like they may have eliminated the pass-through cooling and gone with the dual-blower design, which could cause problems for people who put them in servers.

Thanks Charles,

A little saddened by the Volta numbers honestly!  Looks like the 1080 or 1080Ti are still value king as long as your model/data fits in GPU mem.

I'll test our 4 and 8 GPU 1080Ti configs you can throw in.

Cheers,
-Craig
