The NVIDIA GTX 1180 aims to be a true graphics card monster

New preliminary data of the NVIDIA GTX 1180, indicates that this graphics card will be superior in power to the Titan Xp and that it will have a considerably lower consumption than this.

We have been waiting for weeks for the launch of new graphics cards by NVIDIA and these do not finish arriving, in this case, because the company has decided to wait for GDDR6 memories to be mass produced, which would improve the performance of these graphics. The new GTX 1100 Series will be launched, if all goes according to plan, this coming summer, they will be based on the Turing architecture and will be manufactured in 12nm. The middle wccftech You have new data regarding these charts, but note that it is preliminary and changes could be made.

According to the data offered by this medium, the new NVIDIA GTX 1180 will be based on the GT104 GPU. This GPU would have approximate dimensions of 400mm2, it would have a total of 3584 CUDA Cores, a 6-bit GDDR256 memory interface and could have between 8GB and 16GB of GDDR6 memory, working at 16Gbps. Preliminary data indicates a base frequency that would oscillate around 1600MHz and in Boost mode it could reach 1800MHz. The TDP of this graph is not confirmed, but it would range between 170-200W.

Regarding performance, it is expected that it can offer in FP32, a total power of 13TFLOPS, which will depend on the frequency of the graphics card, both in base frequency and in Boost mode. This computing power puts it ahead of the Titan Xp and GTX 1080 Ti, the two NVIDIA behemoths on the market. The improvement in power over the Titan Xp is little, but it is more energy efficient.

It is unlikely that these new NVIDIA graphics will carry Tensor Cores, as Raytracing is a very new technology and has not yet been implemented in any game and implementation in games is not expected in the next two years, although who knows. This would be the reason why NVIDIA has chosen to omit them.

The GTX 1180 will arrive, according to all the rumors in summer, waiting for the month of July, if everything goes according to plan, since there may be changes at any time. About the price, it has also been speculated and sources speak of $ 699 for the Founders Edition model, and later we will see custom models from different manufacturers with higher prices, of at least $ 100 or more compared to the Founders Edition model.
