It won't be cheap

would be great to see how the hybrid CPU/GPU version of vray is running on one of those...

I don't think we'll see a consumer version soon...

I am excited. It seems like a very beasty processor.

Not for us mortals.

Well, I am considering the Volta as a glimpse into the future. It for sure will be very expensive at first, but technology always gets more afordable with time.

Yep. You just have to be willing to buy not-the-latest tech. Doesn't mean your build won't be fast. I was surprised recently how a new build performed against new tech. Only got beat recently by a new tech build that cost more on half, then I spent on my entire rig.

has anyone tested this card yet?

[savage309]

We haven't.

Hi Blago, do you see any application for using the volta tensor cores with the RT engine?

All the best Ben

The Volta architecture seems very promising for raytracing on paper, but it is hard to say until we test it.
