NVIDIA is reportedly working on two new GP102-based cards; the GTX Titan, and the GTX 1080 Ti
In the wake of the newly released GeForce GTX 10 series cards, NVIDIA is rumored to be working on two new GP102-based graphics cards; the GeForce GTX Titan, and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. The GP102 is a Pascal GPU with a larger die size, 478 square millimeters; in comparison, the die size of the GeForce GTX 1080 and the GTX 1070 cards are both 317 square millimeters. For a start, the new GeForce GTX Titan is speculated to have a higher CUDA core count than the GP100 GPU, which powers the Tesla P100. To be exact, for single precision processing, the GP102 chip sports 3,840 CUDA cores; in comparison, the Tesla P100 has 3,584 CUDA cores. So in order to keep its die size at smaller, it’s speculated the GP102-based GTX Titan will forgo dedicated 64-bit floating point hardware, but the chip will keep its double precision processing CUDA cores that operate at 1/32 of their full speeds.
Therefore, as noted by The Tech Report, the new GeForce GTX Titan is squarely aimed at gamers and not meant for extremely precise mathematical calculations. In fact, with its whopping 24GB of GDDR5X video memory, accessible over its 384-bit wide memory bus, the card is meant to “move large datasets very quickly.” So think of this card as the ultimate card for VR computing experience! As for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, it sports a downsized GP102 GPU that sports 3,456 CUDA cores, and has half the amount of video memory, at 12GB GDDR5X.
Besides the two more powerful additions to the GeForce GTX 10 series family, there’s also the mainstream GTX 1060, which will use a pared down GP104 that powers the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070. Like its predecessor, the GeForce GTX 960, the GTX 1060 will most likely feature two GPCs, with a total of 1,280 CUDA cores. It will come with a respective 6GB of video memory, with a 192-bit wide memory bus. With all these details leaked, we have to caution the reader about the accuracy of 'leaked" hardware specifications of these alleged cards.
