GeForce GTX and 1080 GTX 1070. It is at an event bringing together the specialized press in Austin, Texas (one of the strongholds of AMD for that matter) that NVIDIA introduced its latest 3D foals whose name had leaked a few weeks ago on the Web. “ This GPU [than the 1080 GTX] has cost billions of dollars in research and development and we are very proud of the result ” announced, smiling, Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of NVIDIA.
1080 GTX and GeForce 1070: NVIDIA passes the tenth
More powerful than two GeForce GTX 980 or an X Titan, the GTX 1080 and 1070 have an embedded graphics chip generation Pascal, the successor to Maxwell. And for the occasion, NVIDIA exchange etching process and switches to 16 nm (FinFET). A first for the designer and, more broadly, to the world of graphics card for PC since both cards are the only ones to have a chip as finely engraved on the consumer market.
result, the performance / watt consumed is billed as very interesting: the 1080 GTX swallow a little more than 180 watts at cruising speed for 2x more power than Titan X whose consumption exceeds 240 watts in the same conditions.
according to information provided by NVIDIA, the GTX 1080 embeds 8GB G5X type memory (GDDR5X announced 10 GHz!) and the 1070, it continues to use the classical GDDR5. And 8GB are also soldered onto the board.
We were expecting to find the type of memory HBM 2.0, carved by the graphics card, it will not (yet) for these cards one! Probably the manufacturing costs of memory-called forced NVIDIA to stay on the GDDR5 and 5X to ensure that the selling price is reasonable in the order. And let’s talk about the price precisely.
the GeForce GTX 1080 is scheduled for May 27 next from 599 dollars (650 euros) from NVIDIA and $ 699 partners (740 euros) in both “ Founders Edition “that is to say with the ventilation system developed (and completely reworked) by the GPU designer and available at selected retailers.
As for the GeForce GTX 1070, it will be more affordable and released on 10 June. NVIDIA announces price from 379 dollars (430 euros) in partners, and 449 dollars (500 euros) in both “ Founders Edition .” Still
Technos NVIDIA for: Ansel and simultaneous multi-projection
At the conference, Jen-Hsun Huang also introduced two new technologies in the portfolio NVIDIA folio.
The first is Ansel, software that is expected soon to join the utility GeForce Experience NVIDIA and that can make and edit screenshots in order to get a quality close to photography and especially to make records 360.
and captured images would be visible both on a PC in a Google Cardboard or simply on a smartphone screen (via the NVIDIA app forthcoming). “ This is the end of using the function Print Screen (Screenshot) Windows or games for all gamers who want to immortalize their achievement or sublimate pretty scene of their title favorites “Jen-Hsun Huang announced. According to preliminary information gathered, Ansel would be compatible with GeForce GTX 900-based Maxwell and, of course, with the GeForce GTX 1070 and 1080. We will have the opportunity to quickly put the hand above to test the Anserl and especially to appreciate its relevance as its possibilities.
as for simultaneous multi-projection, it’s a feature dedicated to the world of VR we will find only on maps basic Pascal processors. Indeed, it appealed directly to specific aspects chip that would not be compatible with older GeForce.
Simply put, simultaneous multi-projection would reduce image distortion when using a VR helmet while providing opportunity computation for elements of the surrounding environment faster. And, to further improve the user experience with luck or planned to quickly have a virtual reality helmet. Further, some components of the technology would be able to minimize the resources allocated to some calculations to winning dozens of frames per second in the rendering of objects or scenes viewed with a HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. For now, we have not been pushing technical demonstration; nor the opportunity to examine precisely the engineers about the technology, but we should be more information in the coming days.
