NVIDIA "GT104" Based GeForce GTX 1180 Surfaces on Vietnamese Stores
A Vietnamese online store put up the first listing of a GeForce GTX 1180 based ASUS ROG Strix graphics card. The store even put out some specifications of the card, beginning with it being based on the "GT104" silicon, based on the "Turing" series. With "Turing" NVIDIA appears to be forking its GPU architectures on the basis of chips that feature DPFP (double-precision floating point) cores and Tensor cores, and those that lack both (and only feature SPFP cores). "Turing" is probably a fork of "Volta" that lacks both DPFP CUDA cores and Tensor cores; and sticks to the cheaper GDDR6 memory architecture, while "Volta" based GPUs, such as the TITAN V, implement pricier HBM2 memory.
Among the specifications of the GeForce GTX 1180 are 3,584 CUDA cores, and 16 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface. The memory is clocked at 14 GHz (GDDR6-effective), which works out to 409.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Pre-launch prices, just like most specifications, tend to be bovine excrement, which in this case converts to a little over USD $1,500, and isn't really relevant. What is, however, interesting is the availability date of September 28.

This guy is a baby :laugh:
7nm or not is actually a more interesting question ,since Nvidias naming schemes are total balls these days anyway and are now a unreliable means of identification given their propensity to name two completely different skus the same all the time.
Oh and I almost forgot: this is a xx80 card, so it's not an architecture "built for the mid-range, because that's where most sales happen" :D
btw AMD did the same thing with rx560, but cut the cards after the initial reviews, and did it secretly. Tell me that wasn't intentional :rolleyes: Just like their fake launch msrp for vega to get better initial reviews. You know, the real shady stuff that adoretv doesn't mention on his channel.
580>680>780>OEM>980>1080. +100 equals 1180. Going +100>+100>+100>OEM>+100+100+1000 wouldn't make sense other than pleasing a noob by sounding like an epic jump.
On a more topical note, 409.6 GB/s memory bandwidth from 256 is awesome.
Although how cards are coming out these day even jumping to 1k on each range would take a long ass time.
Surely Roman numerals are better to understand than the decimal system :laugh:
I don't think there are many people here who give a F about whether it's person A or B who post the same thing, and react differently.
