NOW: Nvidia has unveiled GTX 1080 and GTX 1070! – Tek.no

Updated 5:15: See specifications for GTX 1080 and 1070 at the bottom of the matter.

Tek.no/Austin , TX: in night Norwegian time held graphics card manufacturer Nvidia a big press conference in Austin, Texas. We were attending the “Cowboy Capital” and in this case you can refresh yourself in the big announcements that were released to great acclaim from the scene.

Many of the rumors that circulated in advance of the event proved be true. We learned more about Nvidia’s new generation graphics card, the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080, both based on the highly anticipated “Pascal” media may. So this is “Maxwell (Optional)” and GTX 900 series replaces.

stage dropped Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang new GTX 1070 and GTX 1080, the successor to the GTX 970 and GTX 980. the company will have invested several billion dollars in the development of its new graphics card series, which it was joked about had to be more than NASA’s Mars expedition.

This has nonetheless resulted in, among other GTX 1080, which is the first graphics card based on 16-nanometer FinFET technology and adopting new Micron GDDR5X -remind. The memory will be so fast memory bus will no longer pose a limitation on the graphics processor, says Huang.

GTX 1080 will be faster than two GTX 980 in SLI and far faster than Titan X – which was the world fastest enkeltkjernede graphics cards up to the night.

With Pascal and GTX 1080 believes Nvidia they have finally managed to gather the forces needed to enable 3D graphics in real time of the same quality as so-called CGI videos. From the stage it was claimed that there is a game that now can not be experienced at least 60 FPS with “ultra high settings” (Without the resolution was mentioned, though.)

“Pascal” GTX 1080 will overclock very well, and from the stage, we received demonstrated a GTX 1080 that ran on the 2.1GHz! (Overclocked, the default frequency is 1700 MHz).

for those who now disturbs you for the development of heat: temperature Pascal chip lay under this demo in the area 65 to 67 celsius at full load, only cooled with air of EVGA ACXs condenser. The temperature is expected to be higher with the reference card to Nvidia.

GTX 1080 will be two times faster than Titan X and three times as energy efficient.

A quick check one of Nvidia’s demo machines reveals that GTX 1080 delivers exceptional performance in 4K resolution for the Witcher 3, without that we can go into detail about accurate results at this time.

GTX 1080 – Getting GDDR5X MEMORY

GTX 1070 – faster than Titan X

Nvidia also launched a “little brother” to GTX 1080 GTX 1070. This card will be faster than Titan X, to about a third of the price.

• 6.5 TFLOPS (4.2 TFLOPS for GTX 970)

 

• 8GB GDDR5 (4GB for the GTX 970)

 

• $ 379 for Nvidia’s reference edition

 

• $ 449 for the fabrikkoverklokkede “Founders Edition”

 

• Launch 10. June

 

Better performance per watt

A shrinkage of the current manufacturing process of 28-nanometer with Maxwell, to 16 nanometers with Pascal, is what makes it possible for Nvidia to increase performance (higher number transistors on the same circuit board area) without the power consumption goes in the ceiling at the same time.

Both GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 gets DisplayPort 1.4 HDR supporting 4K resolution for up to 120Hz, and HDMI 2.0 that supports 4K- solution up to 60Hz. Dual Link DVI connections will also be supported.

Better support for multiscreen setups

Other than launching the two new graphics cards could Nvidia tell that they have been working to develop new software solutions. The most exciting thought we were their “Multi-projection” technology, which in short evens out “kill” one gets in the seam between monitors when a player on a multi-screen setup. See example below.
