Photos recently posted to Facebook by an NVIDIA fellow apparently show the upcoming NVIDIA Titan Volta graphics card aimed at enthusiastic gamers and professional content creators.

Typically, Nvidia's Titan-brand cards are created specifically for gaming and content editing or creation, similar to the AMD Radeon Pro Duo series, although their prices are higher compared to cards designed solely for the gamers.

The recently leaked NVIDIA Titan Volta sports a gold + black design very similar to the Volta GV100-based cards the company unveiled during the GTC 2017.

NVIDIA Titan Volta technical specifications

The leaked NVIDIA Titan Volta now features an NVLINK 2.0 interface that provides faster interconnection speeds (around 300GB / s between two or multiple GPUs), as well as gaming-style card-side power connectors. (In this case, the Titan Volta comes with an 8 + 6 pin configuration).

Another cool thing about this card is the lack of a monitor connection, which is why NVIDIA has added a discrete PCIe 3.0 x4 graphics card in the top PCI-e slot (EVGA GeForce GT 1030) for video output. So although the card is not ready for launch, it is definitely one of the models that could arrive in the coming months.

Finally, one of the doubts we are left with is whether this card uses GDDR5X or HBM2 memory, but what we do know is that the two GPUs that NVIDIA has presented so far with NVLINK interfaces have 16GB VRAM HBM2 memories.

It is unknown if NVIDIA will standardize the use of NVLINK on all graphics cards when Volta hits the market, but for now both the HBM2 and NVLINK interface are used on GP100 and GV100 GPUs. Additionally, NVIDIA has already released the Titan Xp that uses the GP102 configuration and is theoretically faster than a GP100 GPU with similar specifications due to higher clock frequencies. So the only advantage of Titan Volta would be the use of HBM2 and NVLINK.
