Hey whats up guys.
Ayush here from Explore Gadgets . So Yesterday Nvidia formally announced their
next-generation GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070 GPUs, ahead of its competitor AMD.
With these two graphics card, NVIDIA gave us a taste of the first consumer GPUs based
on their new Pascal Architecture.
Promising performance boost over the mighty GTX Titan X, incredible power efficiency at
an unbelievably low price tag aroused boundless enthusiasm among PC fanatics and gamers all
around the globe.
So here’s 5 things you should know about their new GPU series:
First up is the Performance Nvidia founder and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang jokingly
described the two GPUs as having "irresponsible amounts of performance", promising that the
GTX 1080 is twice as powerful and thrice as power efficient as the previous flagship GeForce
GTX Titan X, and is way faster than two GeForce GTX 980 cards in SLI.
The GTX 1070 is also purportedly faster than the Titan X, though the exact numbers were
not presented.
The GTX 1080 can push out 9 Teraflops of single-precision graphics compute power and can be overclocked
to more than 2GHz.
It has 8GB of VRAM, which is incidentally Micron's new, faster GDDR5X RAM running at
10Gbps for a total bandwidth of 320GBps.
The GTX 1070 is rated for 6.5 Teraflops and also has 8GB of VRAM, but of the ordinary
GDDR5 variety which is 7 Gbps.
Both card supports resolution of 7680 by 4320 at 60hz.
Pretty darn incredible.
Though Further details of the GTX 1070 are not available yet, but it should share several
capabilities with its bigger sibling, including support for DirectX 12_1, OpenGL 4.5, Vulkan,
and Nvidia's own G-Sync, Gamestream, and GPU Boost.
Next up is Power requirement and temperature efficiency
Power requirement of GTX 1080 is pegged at 180W, and Nvidia lists a 500W power supply
as adequate for a PC with a single one of these cards which is incredibly low for the
performance per watt..
And more intriguingly, Demos on stage indicated that it can run comfortably at 2.1GHz on air
cooling without getting hotter than 67 degrees Celsius.
Huang indicated this is the highest speed that any previous GPU has ever achieved with
even liquid cooling.
And on the bright side, Third-party graphics card vendors will likely ship dramatically
overclocked versions of both GPUs using custom coolers.
This news is perhaps a paradise for hardcore gamers.
Third on the list is the Price
When a graphics card is promised to have giant leaps of performance and power efficiency
compared to previous-generation GeForce GTX 9xx series cards and even the $1000 Titan
X GPU, the expected price is likely to be high.
But to the contrary, Nvidia announced some astounding numbers that aroused great deal
of interest from gamers everywhere.
Graphics cards based on the GTX 1080 will be available at a starting price of $599 while
GTX 1070 cards will go for just $379.
There will also be "founders' editions" of both cards, promising extreme overclocking,
for $699 and $449 respectively.
With better performance than Titan X and half its price, you simply don’t need to think
twice before getting your hands on these graphic cards.
Next up is the brand new Pascal Architecture: Named after the 17th century French mathematician
Blaise Pascal, this next-gen family of GPUs succeeded over their Maxwell Architecture
and boasted some exceptional improvement over it.
With billions of dollars spent in RnD budget and thousands of people working on the GPU
project for more than 2 years, Pascal is said to offer upto ten times performance over the
Maxwell architecture in extremely rough estimates.
While it is the first desktop chip to use TSMC’s 16 nanometer Fin Field Effect Transistor
but the most significant feature of this architecture is the NVLink which is a new standard for
interconnecting GPUs and CPUs that would complement the current PCI Express Bus.
This in simple terms means faster data transfer for better gaming performance and better graphics
intensive task allowing upto 80GB per second compared to the 16 GB per second available
now.
The other great innovation with this architecture is the stacked memory which allows to build
more compact GPUs and ….unified memory which will enable applications that take advantage
of what GPUS and CPUs can do quicker and easier by allowing the CPU to access the GPUs memory.
Though I can go on and on about this billion-dollar GPU architecture, I will leave some of the
links down in the description if you want to go more into the technical details.
Last on the list is simultaneous multiprojection for independent viewports which is perhaps
an inherent feature with the Pascal Architecture This feature allows users to use multiple
flat monitors simultaneously, but instead of having one large frame on a single frame
chopped into pieces, each monitor can receive its own feed with the viewport and perspective
adjusted to its angle relative to the other monitors.
Users who have three monitors setup will no longer have to keep all three flat in one
plane or deal with perspective distortion when angling the two on either side.
This used to require three independent graphics cards, but can now be achieved with a single
GTX 1080, which can output three different projections in a single pass.
One of the Honorable mention of the keynote is Nvidia Ansel..
Nvidia Ansel is the world's first in-game 3D camera system dedicated for those who enjoy
the incredible production value and artwork of recent games.
This allows gamers to independently adjust camera positioning and angles to capture scenes
within open game worlds.
A user can capture frames which are otherwise not easily composed,.
Images are exported at way higher resolution than the output to the monitor.
Full 360-degree stereo is also supported, and with one click, users can export images
which can be experienced with any head-mounted display like an HTC Vive or on an Android
phone using Google Cardboard.
A few titles which will support Ansel are The Division, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt and
No Man's Sky.
Recording gaming contents has certainly been taken to the next level with the advent of
Nvidia Ansel.
Nvidia seems to be taking the PC gaming to next level with its pixel crunching "Pascal"
GPU architecture and with the advent of GTX 1000 series GPU chipset, it wont be understatement
to say Nvidia has justified “Gaming Perfected”
And For those of you excited to get hands on one of these, GTX 1080 will be available
on the 27th of May, while the GTX 1070 will be available on the 10th of June.
So that’s all for this video, I hope you found this video interesting.
Do let mw know in the comment section about what you think about these new GPUs.
Stay subsribe for more.
Thank you guys for watching and you guys have a great day.
