[heise] GK110 graphics chip has up to 2880 shader cores - Page 11

post #101 of 111
Its funny how many nvidia fan boys are on this thread. Amd will probably be able to keep up with nvidia; both amd and nvidia have good products atm.

Compute does matter to some, I'm one of them. I would be all over the 7970 except for the fact that the compute enabled software that I use is CUDA only. The 680 is garbage for me because compute performance is significantly less than my 480. This chip will be a godsend for me, just like the 480 was back when I had a 260. Fermi was a compute powerhouse that could also play games, and that is exactly what I'm hoping for with GK110.

GK110 sounds like a MONSTER.

That said I don't know why people are 'worried' about AMD. Saying AMD will not be able to compete is stupid. They've always been able to compete and considering there is zero information on their next architecture statements like that are completely unfounded.

Products always sound amazing until they are launched. I don't doubt Nvidia's next will be very good but let's stop the circle you know what until we know something concrete.

Of course compute matters... It is obvious since NVIDIA said so. They don't have a x86 CPU so they are pushing into the market with ARM and GPGPU. Personally, compute matters to me since I pushing my division to use for financial modeling.

The margins on Tesla and Fermi are much higher than GeForce.

1. Only for those who pay for it in the form of Tesla/Quadro.

2. Agreed, but I'm a PC enthusiast not a financial/educational establishment.

That leaves me with a GTX 480 20% OC'd to do compute, NOT a GTX 670/680 as it's pointless.

Sadly no consumer card will not deliver for hobby level use in the near future.

dunx

P.S. HD 5870 + GTX 480 + GTX 460 currently... and my 8800GTS has a 384 bit bus...wink.gif

Nope, but you will have the best at least 6/7 months, we are on OCN.

2880 shaders are what the full die is capable of.
This die is supposed to provide 3x the FP64-performance of a GF110 @ 650/1300MHz, is it possible 1 out of 3 SMXes per GPC are dedicated for FP64? That way, the GK110 would end up with 2880 total amount of stream processors, whereas 1920 of them are regular ones and 960 of them are FP64-capable. The GK104 has dedicated units for FP64, which is why I'm theorizing the same to happen to the GK110.
It should still provide a decent improvement for gaming with a 384-bit memory bus and 48 ROPs and it would make more sense in regards to FP64-performance.

I thought there were 16CUs x 192 shader cores for a total of 3072 and that Geforce would be die harvested from that batch.

GK104 has great FP16 performance which I believe is the render target for almost all games(Crysis was a resource hog at FP32), so GK110 should be a monster.

If you don't mind me asking... what is compute used for? What applications use GPU compute? I don't believe I've ever used one.
