![]() ![]() They greatly want to bend users away from CPU-based ray tracing farms and on to more compact GPU farms. ![]() NVIDIA of course is no stranger to this market, but this is the biggest play they’ve ever made for it. movie and TV production), as they are some of the most demanding users in terms of performance needs, and have some of the deepest pockets as well. NVLInk isn’t as good as local memory, but with a reported 100GB/sec of bandwidth between the two cards, it’s also nothing to sneeze at.Īs a result of these features NVIDIA is aiming very hard at the visual effects industry (e.g. Going one step further, NVIDIA has also included support for NVLink, their proprietary multi-GPU cache coherent interlink, which will allow Quadro RTX cards to be installed in pairs and share their frame buffer memory. The new GPUs and resulting Quadro cards are also the first NVIDIA cards to get GDDR6 memory – up to 48GB of it – doubling the amount of memory available versus NVIDIA’s Quadro P6000, and also offering a significant bandwidth increase at the same time. Used together, the new cores can be used to speed up ray tracing, and then implement further post-processing tricks to cut down on the amount of work required to generate a photorealistic image. For professional visualization (ProViz) users, the big news here is that the cards feature hardware ray tracing acceleration, thanks to the combination of NVIDIA’s new RT cores, and the tensor cores brought over from Volta. But in short Turing is an evolution of the Volta architecture, taking everything that made the GV100 fast, and then improving on it. Part of the new Quadro RTX family, the Quadro RTX 8000, RTX 6000, and RTX 5000 are NVIDIA’s fastest workstation cards yet, and are set to arrive in the fourth quarter of this year.įor complete details on the Turing architecture, please see our companion article. Breaking from tradition, NVIDIA has announced the workstation-class Quadro parts first. 3060-Ti, which offers excellent real-world (1080p) performance at a fraction of the price ($400 USD).Alongside today’s announcement of their new Turing GPU architecture, NVIDIA has also announced the first three products that will use the first Turing GPU. Alternatively, shoppers looking to buy in the near term should consider the last gen. Consumers looking for better value should wait a few more months for the 4060 / 4070 models by which time AMD's 7900 series will also probably be heavily discounted. Meanwhile, Nvidia remains focused on novel goals such as better graphics (RT/DLSS), frame consistency, game compatibility and driver stability. ![]() As time goes on, AMD’s “Advanced Marketing” has a decreasing impact on consumers. Following a series of over-hyped releases which were heavily promoted on youtube, forums, reddit and twitter, consumers have little interest in the Radeon brand. AMD continue to burn their credibility with PC gamers. Since PC gamers rarely buy AMD GPUs, Nvidia only have themselves to compete with. When fps are not CPU bottlenecked at all, such as during GPU benchmarks, the 4080 is around 50% faster than the 3080 and 25% faster than the 3090-Ti, these figures are approximate upper bounds for in-game fps improvements. At higher (often sub-optimal) resolutions (1440p, 4K etc) the 4080 will show increasing improvements compared to lesser cards. With a 4080 tier card 1080p in-game fps will often get CPU bottlenecked which prevents the GPU from delivering higher fps. Performance gains will vary depending on the specific game and resolution. ![]() It features 9,728 cores with base / boost clocks of 2.2 / 2.5 GHz, 16 GB of memory, a 256-bit memory bus, 76 3rd gen RT cores, 304 4th gen Tensor cores, DLSS 3 and a TDP of 320W. The RTX 4080 is based on Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace architecture. ![]()
