NVIDIA GeForce RTX Turing GPUs Detailed – GeForce RTX 2070 Features TU106, 50% Faster Per Core Performance, 50% Better Memory Compression Than Pascal-April 2024-www.yitit.com

New features of the NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture have been revealed and detailed by the folks over at Videocardz. The new details show how the Turing GPUs are a huge departure from current GeForce graphics cards based on the Pascal GPU architecture and the techniques NVIDIA is using to deliver the best performance to end users and gamers.

NVIDIA Turing GPUs For GeForce RTX Graphics Cards Detailed - More Core Performance, Better Memory Compression, and New Features For Gamers

Starting with the most significant part of the Turing GPU architecture, the Turing SM, we are seeing an entirely new graphics core. The Turing SM is made up of a combination of INT32, FP32, and the new Tensor cores. Each SM has 96 KB of L1 cache which is shared across the entire GPU. There are four warp schedulers and dispatchers inside a Turing GPU and similarly, there are four register file units.

Coming to the new execution units or cores, Turing has both INT32 and FP32 units. Each SM has 64 each and 8 Tensor cores. This new architectural design allows Turing to execute floating point and non-floating point operations in parallel which allows for up to 36% higher throughput in standard floating point operations. The entire SM works in harmony by using different blocks to deliver high performance and better texture caching, enabling for up to 50% better CUDA core performance when compared to the previous generation.

Following is a shot of the Turing SM by Videocardz:
