Here's an example for what I'm using it for: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23608360

I explained the technical details in the sub comment.

I was looking at buying one of these Titan cards a few weeks back but then nvidia announced the next gen processors were coming out so have decided to wait until they refresh the 2 year old titan line instead of paying full prices for an almost out of date card.

When training models for the object detection, the current algo we're using isn't focused on memory efficiency. So the 8gb card we currently use to train models is unable to process images at the correct resolution. We have to down scale about half to get it to fit. With the Titan RTX you get 22gb which is enough.

On another note, the titan cards aren't the same as the normal geforce cards. Nvidia have gone to great lengths to ensure product differentiation so they can charge power users with business budgets more than people sitting at home playing games. One of the good things about the titan cards is they have a dual memory controller so you can write and read at the same time which improves your fill rate.
