My primary task isn't ML, and 64bit is needed for numerical stability.
For the Titan V, the F64 was 1/2 of F32, it was the only and last consumer generation to have that.
For Titan RTX and newer NVIDIA cards, the ratio from F32 to F64 is typically 1/64th of FP32.
So the Titan RTX, with 16 FP32 TFlop/s drops to 0.5 FP64 TFlops/s
While the Titan V, starting at 15 FP32 TFlops/s still has 7.5 FP64 TFlops/s
The 5090 TI has 104.9 FP16/32 TFlops/s, but only 1.64 FP64 TFlops/s.
Basically Nvidia decided most people didn't need FP64, and chose to improve quantized performance instead.
If you can run on a GPU, that Titan V has more 64bit Flops than even an AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX.
- genewitch 2y agowhile researching this i discovered another fast fp64 card is the R9 280x by amd/ati. although the memory is weak, only 3GB! But i suppose if you need the numerical accuracy, there's always that, and those cards are like $40 (in the us, on ebay, sold listings), compared to $400 for the titan. if you need 4x the ram though i guess you're stuck paying 10x the price!
