Last week we evaluated the $3,000 NVIDIA TITAN V in thirteen games at 1440p and 4K for a full gaming performance evaluation. In that evaluation we found the NVIDIA TITAN V to perform between 30-40% faster than the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in today’s games at either resolution. The gains were real, massive, and constituted a greatly improved gameplay experience.

In that evaluation we used a mix of DX11, DX12, and Vulkan API’s to show the best overall picture of performance in games. NVIDIA TITAN V is based on a new architecture named Volta which supersedes the Pascal architecture which GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is based on. Given this information we wanted to find out if NVIDIA TITAN V using the new Volta architecture is in anyway shape or form more efficient at DX12 performance versus Pascal architecture.
