More info on NVIDIA GeForce GT300 DirectX 11 GPU: three billion transistors, 6GB GDDR5 memory
Good god. Three billion transistors. 6GB of GDDR5 memory. NVIDIA GeForce GT300 is surely a wild beast. If you remember correctly then in the last week I mentioned NVIDIA’s first DirectX 11 graphics processing unit which slated for November release. Today I stumbled upon some new, interesting details of this mother-of-all GPU. Reportedly, the GT300 packs a whopping 3billion transistors, and boast of never-heard-before 6GB of GDDR5 memory. If you compare this wild beast and NVIDIA’s current offerings then let me tell you that the GT300 is approximately 3x more powerful than the GT200 GPUs.
It is based on 40nm fabrication process, and provides 16 streaming multiprocessor, with each multiprocessor boasting 32 cores, who is in turn able to execute an integer or a floating point instruction per clock per thread.
The GPU supports six 64-bit GDDR5 memory controllers, and provides direct hardware access for DirectX 11, CUDA 3.0, OpenGL 3.1 and OpenCL.
