By the numbers, relative to the GTX 970 the GTX 1070 offers 65% more shading, texturing, and geometry throughput, and 63% more ROP throughput.
#NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1080 FULL#
This is slightly lower than GTX 1080, but as we’ll see in our full benchmark section, the official clockspeeds have a very little impact it’s the disabled GPC that really makes the difference. Those 15 SMMs are in turn running at a base clockspeed of 1506MHz and a boost clock of 1683MHz.
#NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1080 UPDATE#
With this configuration NVIDIA is pitching the GTX 1070 as a full generational update to the GTX 970, and with any luck, the GTX 1070 will be as well accepted as its extremely successful predecessor.Īll told then, GTX 1070 provides 1920 CUDA cores split up over 15 SMMs. However the memory controllers and ROP partitions remain untouched. Relative to GTX 1080, this knocks off around 25% of the shading/texturing/compute performance. From a hardware perspective, the GTX 1070 utilizes GP104 with 1 of the 4 Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs) disabled. The standard high-end salvage part, GTX 1070 trades off fewer functional blocks and the lower resulting performance in exchange for a significantly lower price than the GTX 1080. Meanwhile below the GTX 1080 we have its lower price and lower performance sibling, the GTX 1070. Video card specifications are of course a sliding scale – balancing desired performance with cooling capabilities and power consumption – and ultimately NVIDIA has opted to eat a slight increase in power consumption to allow GTX 1080 to deliver more performance than it otherwise would. This is a slight increase from the past generation, where GTX 980 required 165W. And as we’ll see in the coming architectural pages, these raw numbers don’t factor in the architectural improvements that allow the Pascal GPUs to stretch their memory bandwidth even further.įinally, GTX 1080’s TDP is rated at 180W.
This gives GTX 1080 a full 320GB/sec of memory bandwidth to play with, 43% more than GTX 980.
A new memory standard that extends the effective memory bandwidth of GDDR5, GTX 1080’s GDDR5X runs at 10Gbps, and is attached to a 256-bit memory bus. Of course the latter is as much a product of memory bandwidth as it is the ROPs themselves, and for that NVIDIA has some new memory technologies.įeeding the beast that is GTX 1080 is 8GB of GDDR5X. By the numbers, GTX 1080 offers 78% more raw compute, texturing, and geometry performance, and 43% more ROP throughput. NVIDIA is positioning GTX 1080 as a full generational update over GTX 980, and thanks to a combination of a slightly wider GPU and a much faster clockspeed, they can generally deliver on this. This means 2560 CUDA cores split up over 20 SMs operating at a blistering boost clock of 1733MHz. The GeForce GTX 1080 is a fully enabled implementation of GP104. NVIDIA’s focus on this generation has been on pouring on the clockspeed to push total compute throughput to 8.9 TFLOPs, and updating their memory subsystem to feed the beast that is GP104. The basic throughput of the architecture has not changed – the ALUs, texture units, ROPs, and caches all perform similar to how they did in GM2xx.Ĭonsequently the performance aspects of consumer Pascal – we’ll ignore GP100 for the moment – are pretty easy to understand.

Maxwell as an architecture was very successful for NVIDIA both at the consumer level and the professional level, and for the consumer iterations of Pascal, NVIDIA has not made any radical changes. At a high level the Pascal architecture (as implemented in GP104) is a mix of old and new it’s not a revolution, but it’s an important refinement. NVIDIA GPU Specification Comparisonīuy GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition on Īs a quick refresher, here are the specifications for the new cards. So let’s get started on this belated look at the latest generation of GPUs and video cards from NVIDIA. Architecture, overclocking, more architecture, new memory technologies, new features, and of course copious benchmarks.
Now today, at long (long) last, we will be taking a complete, in-depth look at the GTX 1080 Founders Edition and its sibling the GTX 1070 Founders Edition. Launched at $700, it was immediately the flagship for the FinFET generation. AMD and NVIDIA did an amazing job making the best of 28nm over the 4 year stretch, but now at long last true renewal is at hand for the discrete GPU market.īack in May we took a first look at the first of these cards, NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition. Powered by FinFET based nodes at TSMC and GlobalFoundries, both NVIDIA and AMD have released new GPUs with new architectures built on new manufacturing nodes. It has taken about 2 years longer than we’d normally see, but the next full generation of GPUs are finally upon us.
