The new king
Nvidia dropped the mic when it announced the Nvidia GTX 1080. The fledgling Pascal part beats the pants off of any previous graphics card Nvidia has made before including the all-mighty Titan X – with twice the level performance no less.
However, beyond the simple raw power, Nvidia has kept most of the details about the GTX 1080 and its new software features under wraps until now. From more efficient overclocking, the smallest transistors Nvidia has ever produced to optimizing VR, there’s quite a bit to mull through.
However, here are the seven most important things that will level up your next frag fest.
It’s way faster than you think
When it comes to computers, going smaller is always better. Tinnier transistors require less power, produce less heat and can be arranged in tighter packets to operate faster. Pascal happens to introduce Nvidia’s new smaller 16nm FinFET architecture. Previously, the GPU maker went with a 28nm Maxwell architecture it has used since its 700-series GPUs.
With the new process, Nvidia has managed to squeeze in 7.2 billion transistors into the Nvidia GTX 1080. And while we’re talking about specs, the GPU …read more
