There’s an interesting development in the graphics card world this morning, as the alleged specs of the successor to the current GTX 1080 have been posted.
In an entry for the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1180 in the TechPowerUp GPU database, the full details of the unreleased card are given, albeit with obvious caveats – ‘data on this page may change in the future’ – alongside the consideration that this is an engineering sample.
So yes, this is certainly speculation we should be wary of, but it’s interesting to see the purported details nonetheless, and hopefully this is an indication that Nvidia’s next-gen graphics cards are now on the horizon.
The GTX 1180 will apparently run with 3,584 CUDA cores, compared to the GTX 1080’s complement of 2,560. It boasts 224 TMUs (versus 160 Texture Mapping Units on the 1080) and is built on a 12nm process (as opposed to 16nm).
It packs double the video RAM compared to the GTX 1080, with 16GB of faster GDDR6 memory, and the new card has a rated peak FP32 performance of around 13 teraflops (think of that as raw power). That not only massively outstrips the 1080 which boasts 8.7 teraflops, but it’s also …read more
