A massive leak detailing Nvidia’s upcoming 2017 graphics cards hit Baidu hardware forums yesterday, reports Wccftech.
Part of these leaks is the news that more Pascal cards were on the horizon.
“The rumor is that NVIDIA plans to offer more chips based on the GP102 architecture.”
“They already have a partially enabled model known as Titan X available to consumers but they would try to offer more variants in the stack.”
This is not dissimilar to the approach Nvidia took with its 700 series which was based on refreshed Kepler cores.
The big news however, is Nvidia’s upcoming Volta cards.
“For those excited about Volta in the consumer section, you might be a bit disappointed.”
“Volta, as mentioned, will launch first for the professional market and followed by a consumer launch. That launch is expected around 2018, not 2017.”
The aforementioned Pascal refresh will make up the majority of of 2017 and “that architecture will be fully tuned for next generation AAA gaming titles.”
With that said, there were some very interesting details about the upcoming Volta cards.
We know they will feature GDDR6 memory which is expected to go beyond a staggering 16GB/s.
In addition, Volta cards will arrive in 16 GB Standard Capacity Variants and will feature full HBM2 compliance.
