NVIDIA recently launched the Pascal GPU (graphics processing unit), with which it built the GTX 1080 and 1070 GPUs. Pascal was built on TSMC's 16nm FinFET transistor technology, which allows it to maximize performance without using too much power. The GeForce GTX 1080 GPU, which NVIDIA revealed earlier this month, runs on the GP104 Pascal GPU. It uses 16nm transistors which are able to stack vertically, consequently saving space without using too much power.
PCAdvisor recently reported the graphic shown by Jen-Hsung Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA. The new Pascal GPUs, acording to Jen-Hsung, will reportedly run faster than other memory modules. They will run way faster and stronger, but without using too much of your power. It is able to massively overclock other graphics cards without sacrificing too much of itself. It is also better equipped to deal with Virtual Reality gaming.
According to PCMag, NVIDIA has also released the second line of video cards that utilize the Pascal microarchitecture, the GeForce GTX 1070. This one is going to be more affordable than their other flagship GPUs, but wth essentially the same features. They DO differ when it comes to specific specs and speeds, however. The GTX 1070 will implement less GPCs, streming multiprocessors, CUDA processing cores and Texture Units. It also runs slower, at a speed of 1,506MHz. It also uses the same amount of memory at 8GB, but runs on the slower GDDR5, and only uses 150 watts for power consumption.
Yahoo News reports that NVIDIA states this new GPU will deliver "twice the speed and performance" of the Titan X, which is currently on sale for over $1,100 online. The GTX 1070 will be a full-length video card, at 10.5 inches, which will make it require 2 expansions slots. The first packages will be out starting June 10. They will release two versions -- The $449 "Founder's Edition" and the custom designs to retail at $379.
