There are more and more indications that the NVIDIA GTX 11 series of next-generation graphics cards will arrive in batches after more than a month, and there are more and more related exposures, but like any new exposures, uncertainty and even conflicts. And quite a lot.
The authoritative hardware detection tool HWiNFO64 recently released the next version of the update log notice, which mentioned the support of NVIDIA GV102, GV104 new graphics card.
According to the NVIDIA graphics card naming rules, The first letter G stands for GeForce game card brand, the second letter is the first letter of the architecture code, V is naturally Volta, such as the previously released professional card Quadro GV100, and the calculation card Tesla V100.
Named after the previous code, GV102 and GV104 refer to the high-end and mainstream cores respectively, just like the GP102 (GTX 1080 Ti) and GP104 (GTX 1080/1070) of the Pascal GTX 10 series.
But according to previous news, The Volta Volt Architecture is designed for high-performance computing, deep learning, and other areas. NVIDIA also has two other architectures, Turing, Ampere, for the gaming market, especially NVIDIA recently commemorated the official website. Turing, even more implied that the new game card will be based on the Turing architecture, then the core code should be GT102, GT104 and the like.
Due to the limited information available, it is still impossible to confirm what architecture the NVIDIA GTX 11 series will use. It is not even excluded that the code that is released now is just a smoke bomb, but it is a new architecture anyway, but the name is different, and it doesn't have to be too tangled. Of course, more attention is still about performance, energy efficiency, and price.
According to the exposure, The GTX 1180 will be launched on August 30, GTX 1170/1180+ will follow on September 30, and GTX 1160 will arrive on October 30.
