GeForce GTX 10 Series is a series of graphics processing units developed by Nvidia as a successor to the GeForce 900 Series. The Pascal microarchitecture is the successor to the Maxwell microarchitecture and incorporates TSMC's 16 nm FinFET technology. [1] It also incorporates Samsung's 14 nm FinFET technology for Nvidia's GP107 chips. [2]
Architecture
The microarchitecture of the GeForce 10 series is named Pascal, after the 17th century French mathematician Blaise Pascal, and was presented on May 6, 2016.[3]
Nvidia has announced that the Pascal GP100 GPU will feature four High Bandwidth Memory stacks, allowing a total of 16GB HBM2 on the highest-end models,[4] 16 nm technology,[1] Unified Memory and NVLink.[5]
New Features in GP10x:
- CUDA Compute Capability 6.0 (GP100 only), 6.1 (GP102, GP104, GP106, GP107)
- DisplayPort 1.4
- HDMI 2.0b
- Fourth generation Delta Color Compression
- PureVideo Feature Set H hardware video decoding HEVC Main10(10bit), Main12(12bit) & VP9 hardware decoding(GM200 & GM204 did not support HEVC Main10/Main12 & VP9 hardware decoding)[6]
- HDCP 2.2 support for 4K DRM protected content playback & streaming(Maxwell GM200 & GM204 lack HDCP 2.2 support, GM206 supports HDCP 2.2)[7]
- NVENC HEVC Main10 10bit hardware encoding
- GPU Boost 3.0
- Simultaneous Multi-Projection
- HB SLI Bridge Technology
- New memory controller with GDDR5X & GDDR5 support (GP102, GP104)
- Asynchronous compute[8]
- Dynamic load balancing scheduling system.[9] This allows the scheduler to dynamically adjust the amount of the GPU assigned to multiple tasks, ensuring that the GPU remains saturated with work except when there is no more work that can safely be distributed.[9] Nvidia therefore has safely enabled asynchronous compute in Pascal's driver.[9]
- Instruction-level preemption.[10] In graphics tasks, the driver restricts this to pixel-level preemption because pixel tasks typically finish quickly and the overhead costs of doing pixel-level preemption are much lower than performing instruction-level preemption.[10] Compute tasks get either thread-level or instruction-level preemption.[10] Instruction-level preemption is useful because compute tasks can take long times to finish and there are no guarantees on when a compute task finishes, so the driver enables the very expensive instruction-level preemption for these tasks.[10]
- Triple buffering implemented in the driver level.[11] Nvidia calls this "fast sync".[11] This has the GPU maintain three frame buffers per monitor.[11] This results in the GPU continuously rendering frames, and the most recently completely rendered frame is sent to a monitor each time it needs one.[11] This removes the initial delay that double buffering with vsync causes and disallows tearing.[11] The costs are that more memory is consumed for the buffers and that the GPU will consume power drawing frames that might be wasted because two or more frames could possibly be drawn between the time a monitor is sent a frame and the time the same monitor needs to be sent another frame.[11] In this case, the latest frame is picked, causing frames drawn after the previously displayed frame but before the frame that is picked to be completely wasted.[11] This feature has been backported to Maxwell-based GPUs in driver version 372.70.[12]
Successor architecture
Volta
After Pascal, the next architecture will be codenamed Volta, after the 18th century Italian physicist Alessandro Volta.[13]
Products
Founders Edition
Announcing the GeForce 10-series products, Nvidia has introduced Founders Edition graphics cards versions both of GTX 1070 and 1080. These are what was previously known as reference cards, that is which were designed and built by Nvidia and not by its authorized board partners. The Founders Edition cards have a die cast machine-finished aluminum body with a single radial fan and a vapor chamber cooling (GTX 1080 only[14]), an upgraded power supply and a new low profile backplate.[15] Nvidia also released a limited supply of Founders Edition cards for the GTX 1060 that were only available directly from Nvidia's website.[16] Founders Edition cards prices are greater than MSRP of partners cards, however some partners' cards, incorporating a complex design, with a liquid or hybrid cooling may cost even more than Founders Edition.

- ↑ Shader Processors : Texture mapping units : Render output units
- ↑ For calculating the processing power see Pascal (microarchitecture)#Performance.
- ↑ SLI HB only supports a maximum of 2-way SLI using SLI HB bridges, however if using traditional SLI bridges it can support a maximum of 4-way SLI but the performance mostly improve in synthetic benchmarks only.
- ↑ Pixel fillrate is calculated as the lowest of three numbers: number of ROPs multiplied by the base core clock speed, number of rasterizers multiplied by the number of fragments they can generate per rasterizer multiplied by the base core clock speed, and the number of streaming multiprocessors multiplied by the number of fragments per clock that they can output multiplied by the base clock rate.
- ↑ Texture fillrate is calculated as the number of TMUs multiplied by the base core clock speed.
- ↑ The GTX 1070 has one of the four GPCs disabled in the die. Losing one of the Raster Engines only allows for the use of 48 ROPs per cycle.
