GeForce GTX 1180 and GeForce GTX 1170, Ampere or Turing? new developments

Nvidia will typically upgrade its gaming graphics card range with the arrival of the GeForce GTX 11 series including the GeForce GTX 1180 and GTX 1170. This name has replaced the GeForce GTX 2000 series assumption. A new twist has just taken place.

According to the latest information unveiled at GDC 2018, Nvidia should see players next July with the launch of a new generation GeForce GTX. It is likely that the GeForce GTX 1170 and GeForce GTX 1180 will take off. So we would be facing the 11 series generation or 1100 series and not 2000 series as was said before.

The combination of different sources suggests a massive use of GDDR6 with capacities of 8 and 16 GB.

Volta, Ampere, and Turing

For several months now, we have heard about Volta, Ampere, and Turing. Volta architecture is well known. It was formalized and presented by Nvidia in May 2017. Its use allowed the birth of the GV100 on the professional market. For Ampere and Turing, many mysteries remain.

During February, a possible new organization of Nvidia’s future catalog was put forward.

The idea is to have a new product (Turing) for minors to relieve the gaming market (Ampere). Turing could, therefore, refer to crypto money extraction cards. Why? This name refers to Alan Turing, a great English computer scientist, and cryptanalyst. His brilliance helped decipher Nazi coded messages during World War II.”

So there was some logic to it. There has been a turnaround in recent weeks.

According to Igor Wallossek of Tom’s Hardware Germany, Turing’s graphics architecture would target the gaming segment so that it wouldn’t be Ampere. Nvidia would have planned to replace its existing range of GeForce operating Pascal with “Turing” solutions. What then becomes “Ampere”?

It would, in fact, be Volta’s successor in the market of computing, deep learning, and AI.

So we would have the following organization:

2010/11 2016 2017 2018
Gaming  (GeForce) Maxwell Pascal Turing
HPC  (Tesla) Volta Ampere

If this information proves to be correct, some already argue a lack of logic about what “Turing” evokes. For others, everything is logical knowing that “Volta” and “Ampere” are names of the same domain.

Wait and see…
