Has Nvidia’s first graphics card with GDDR6 memory shown itself?

By Joe Osborne

While we can’t be certain exactly which, Nvidia is clearly hard at work on its next-generation graphics card, judging by a recent Reddit post. Since deleted, the post shared a photo of what appears to be a prototype printed circuit board (PCB) for a graphics card using the next-gen GDDR6 video memory.

Scooped up by VideoCardz, the website notes that this supposed leak post – which was not only deleted, but its author’s account was also erased – could very well be what many expect to be Nvidia’s next gaming-focused graphics architecture, Turing.

However, it’s entirely possible that the PCB shown could be that of an upcoming Quadro or Tesla processor; either of which would likely use the latest GDDR6 video memory regardless. The reason for this uncertainty is two-fold.

Turing or Tesla? Well, we know it’s GDDR6

First, this is clearly an early version of a graphics card PCB, with its many elements far more spaced out whereas a final product would be much more compact. Second, there is no actual graphics processor, or GPU, found on the board.

Of course, the presence of the GPU would be a dead giveaway for exactly the type of card it …read more
