Over the past weekend there were a few leaks of gaming performance benchmarks of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX Ti. These mainly come from Turkish YouTuber, PC Hocasi TV, who put up a video going over his benchmarks then quickly took it down.
NVIDIA has just released their first official performance numbers for their new GeForce RTX 2080 graphics cards. According to NVIDIA the new RTX 20 series offer some 50% performance improvements (on average) on architectural improvements alone, in a per-core basis.
AMD today announced a high-performance addition to the Radeon Pro WX workstation graphics lineup with the AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200 graphics card, delivering the world's best workstation graphics performance for under $1,000 for real-time visualization, virtual reality (VR) and photorealistic rendering.
Maxsun is not very well known here is the west, but they are on official NVIDIA all-in-board (AIB) partner out of China. Being an AIB partner they do having information on all of the details on NVIDIA's next-gen products. With that they have showcased their "next generation" card at the ChinaJoy Expo.
Here are some of the first photos of the bare printed circuit board (PCB) of NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce GTX 1180 graphics card (being called PG180), and referred to by the person that leaked these photos as the "GTX 2080", although most people are calling it the GTX 1180. This PCB looks to be right off the press as the SMT points and vias are still exposed.
There has been an alleged NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1170 benchmark picture that has been making its rounds on the internet. This benchmark shows that the new performance segment card has some very impressive performance, actually beating NVIDIA's own GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. The card in the below picture scores 29,752 in 3DMark's FireStrike benchmark.
Well here it is, the first listing for NVIDIA's next-generation GeForce GTX 1180 graphics card, which comes in the form of the GeForce GTX 1180 ASUS ROG Strix. The listing does give us some information on the card as well. First off the card is based off the "GT104" silicon, which means it is part of the "Turing" architecture. So it seems like NVIDIA is forking its new architectures separating chips that feature DPFP (double-precision floating point) cores and Tensor cores, and those that lack both. So "Turning" would be a fork of "Volta" that lacks DPFP CUDA cores and Tensor cores as well as makes use of the cheaper GDDR6 memory.
A photo of an NVIDIA prototype graphics card was posted on Reddit by user "dustinbrooks" who said it was "tested by a buddy of his that works for a company that tests NVIDIA boards". For those skeptics out there the card is clearly made by NVIDIA as indicated by the markings near the PCI-Express x16 slot connector. We can also see three 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors and a huge VRM with four cooling fans.
While we thought Intel would be announcing a discrete GPU at CES 2019, it looks like it will be another year till we see a discrete GPU from Intel. This 2020 date was confirmed by Intel CEO Brian Krzanich during an event for analysts last week.
AMD did announce a new graphics card at Computex 2018, although not really that new. They unveiled the Radeon RX Vega Nano, which is the successor to the high-end small form factor card the Radeon R9 Nano. This card was actually brought to life thanks to AMD add-in board partner PowerColor.
