Latest lc0-win-20180604-cuda92-cudnn714-experimental EXCELLENT

[shrapnel]

The latest lc0 CUDA experimental version is really excellent !
No more Speed drops on my 1080 Ti...consistently over 15k-18k, unlike earlier versions of lc0. Also, excellent new Settings provided by Albert Silver.
Whatever the reason, or maybe because of both, lc0 CUDA version is now consistently able to hold even Komodo 11.2.2 to Draws !
Komodo was using 8 Cores and my 1080 Ti was overclocked to the max. Ico was using Network ID 382. TC was 1min/move.

Now, lc0 is able to hold Komodo to Draws even as Black, which never happened before in my Tests.

By the way, sorry, but I don't think these results can be replicated by people running slower GPUs.
Anyway, my investment in the ASUS ROG 11 GB 1080 Ti, really seems to be paying off.
Just a matter of time now, before lc0 overtakes Komodo and Stockfish.
I'll be there, even if I have to buy a Titan V for that to happen !

How much does a ASUS ROG 11 GB 1080 Ti cost in USD?

if you did 2 or 3 mins per move, do you think lc0 may have a chance to win ?

I don’t think the Titan V is that much faster than your card without using its Tensor cores, maybe 30% or so?

Also given the attention on AI - and that Nvidia are in no hurry to make gaming cards - I suspect a new Titan may be out in 6-9 months.

Running 2x 1060 even 3GB version is at least 20% stronger than running 1080ti and 2x1060 3GB cost at least 30% less than single 1080Ti .

I'll add that among the todos for lc0 is improving performance in multi-gpu setups.

Well it doesn't scale as ideal linear but having 1.6x speed up for 2x hardware is not a slouch, especially when GPUs are in question .

Or you could get a 1180: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/62136/nv ... index.html

1200 USD here in India.
Imported stuff is costly here.
You'd probably get it cheaper.

Interesting! That contradicts this report

I actually watched a video where he says "it'll be *gestures with his hand in a dismissive way* a long time away"
