Pascal Details

- first NVIDIA GPU with 3D-memory and NVLink
- supports up to 32GB of on-board memory (2.7x the frame buffer capacity of Maxwell)
- 3x the memory bandwidth of Maxwell
- 2x the performance per watt of Maxwell
- new feature: mixed-precision computing
- 4x the mixed-precision FP16 performance of Maxwell
- up to 10x the deep learning performance of Maxwell
- estimated release in 2016

http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2015/03/16/pascal/

NVIDIA said:
Mixed-precision computing enables Pascal architecture-based GPUs to compute at 16-bit floating point accuracy at twice the rate of 32-bit floating point accuracy.

NVIDIA said:
The introduction of 3D memory will provide 3X the bandwidth and nearly 3X the frame buffer capacity of Maxwell.

NVIDIA said:
The addition of NVLink to Pascal will let data move between GPUs and CPUs five to 12 times faster than they can with today’s current standard, PCI-Express.

Note: Pascall will not be 10x more powerful than Maxwell in gaming performance. It will be up to 10x faster in deep learning applications.

Two days early?

I'm pumped though.

for another uncomfortable keynote

Expecting 8 GB GTX 1080 late this summer or fall.

Titan X Black and 1080 Ti around the winter to fill in the gaps before Pascal.

With these benchmarks leaking already, I'm not sure what to expect

That GM 200 card screams 980 Ti (or whatever they plan to call it)

Micerider · Mar 14, 2015

I personnaly hope for GTX 960 Ti with decent perfs my x51 needs it.

baphomet · Mar 14, 2015

Excellent!

I was actually panning on buying a 970 or 980 next week. I'll have to see what they announce.

That would be the 980, it's just named and priced wrong

AmyS · Mar 14, 2015

If anything is a GTX 980 Ti, it would be the "GM200 cut" chip with 6 GB.

Koobion · Mar 14, 2015

Going to be quivering and whispering under my breath the whole time "Yeah, but Pascal." in an attempt to convince myself not to replace my 980.

I don't trust myself not to buy a Titan X immediately. Hold me.

nVidia may not have liked how the 780Ti cannibalized the Titan, and corrected it this time.

Kaako · Mar 14, 2015

Elon Musk as main Guest? Hmm wanna say forget all their usual pr talk unless TitanX related and just let Musk speak about the futuuuure haha.

SneakyStephan said:

I doubt my X51 PSU would agree with the 980 TDP. But yeah, I don't think they actually pushed their real high profile for the 980.

-SD- · Mar 16, 2015

All right, gang. 24 hours to go.

ashecitism · Mar 16, 2015

This is going to be awkward, that's the only thing I know lol

also I hope people aren't expecting lots of gaming stuff

Dictator93 · Mar 16, 2015

I ask this with every Nvidia event, but who will Jen-Hsun yell at this time?

Fried Food · Mar 16, 2015

Can't wait to see the moment some poor bastard loses his job because he didn't turn the slides as fast as the nvidia CEO wanted. Hope he wears a leather jacket and then Has to take it off because he is to hot and sweaty

Jen Hsun is probably the only (public) CEO who looks like completely disconnected from his employees, kind of like a tyrant.

cirrhosis · Mar 16, 2015

This should be a typical nvidia presentation. I'm expecting an overly long talk from Jen Hsun akin to the Apollo one.

Still will be fun to watch. And yeah, the slideshow crew will inevitably fuck up the slides at some point and there will be a couple awkward pauses.

Or Jen Hsun micro managing everyone during their presentations... or just straight up taking over them.

I wonder if he dares to do that to Elon Musk. The clash of egos will be a sight to behold, if he does.

The Apollo thing was actually interesting though. A better example is the GDC or CES one, where he talked forever about stuff that was only mildly interesting.

Hawk269 · Mar 16, 2015

Was searching for links to the presser and just found it with this thread! Cannot wait to hear news about the Titan X tomorrow morning!!!!

gooface · Mar 16, 2015

I want the Cutdown titan X (aka the successor to the GTX 780)

Battlesmurf · Mar 16, 2015

I have lost any interest in this after how Nvidia handled the concerns over the 970s. My return is still in limbo.

That being said, hopefully the AMD/Nvidia battle is a nice one and the customers win out.

I'm pretty sure he's not going to mess with a guy that could easily buy out his company.

Correct me if wrong, 780Ti had more activated shader units than Titan, so it was not a "cut".

Going by that precedent, 980Ti could be better than Titan X.

gooface said:

Isn't 980 roughly in the ballpark of what you are looking for?

Momentary · Mar 17, 2015

I highly doubt that they will announce another card that could cut into the sale of the Titan X. You're looking at around August if they do that.

The gap between the 980 and Titan X looks to be around 30-40 %. The gap for a 780-esque card would be more like 10%.

If they pull this shit again, I am going to be pissed. I love my 980, but if Nvidia doesn't release some concrete info on Pascal... team red looks mighty promising...

Come on Nvidia, give me a reason to toss the 970s. I need 6 or 8 gb units.

Cse · Mar 17, 2015

Are we getting 14nm FinFET Maxwell cards before Pascal?

Renekton · Mar 17, 2015

Don't think so...? Unlike Intel, AMD/Nvidia combines the next process shift with architecture change as well.

Renekton said:

Hmmm...interesting. We're going to be seeing 14 nm chips in phones and computers later this year, yet GPUs are still going to be stuck on the 28 nm node.

That's going to be a long wait for Pascal in 2016.

Intel is a 1-horse race in its own league, and probably can't/won't do big GPUs anyways. Mobile SoCs are small die 90mm² parts which have no bearing on the 400-600mm² monsters needed for GPUs.

I always wondered if TSMC ever looked at the smaller die + higher volume of mobile parts and gave AMD/Nvidia the middle finger.

StrangeADT · Mar 17, 2015

I'm going to be there.

AmyS · Mar 17, 2015

Maxwell is apparently staying on 28nm.

Pascal should be on 16nm FinFET in 2016 assuming no major delays.

He could easily become a large majority share holder of it. His wealth by himself eclipses all of NVIDIA.
