NVIDIA’s GeForce GF100 gennemgang

Det ser ud til at være disse dage at Nvidia officielt har valgt at afsløre alle specifikationerne omkring deres nyeste GPU generation “Fermi” der kommer til at hedde GF100 på markedet. Der har været en masse rygter igennem de sidste mange måneder og senest er der blevet lækket en række videoer som skulle vise de specielle features som GF100 understøtter med sin DX11 support.

Men Nvidia har selv udsendt “GF100 white paper” som ikke bare er reklame for deres grafikkort, men i klare detaljer viser alle de features omkring GF100 chippen og hvad vi kan forvente os af den. Dette “white paper” er dukket op flere steder på nettet, men især hardwarecanuks har gennemgået disse papirer utrolig godt og “oversat” dem til en større artikel.

Set ud fra disse informationer der vises i “white paper” ser det ud til at Nvidia måske har en trumf i baghånden omkring brugen af “DX11 Tessellation”. Dette er noget som hardocp skriver i deres gennemgang af disse “white papers” de har valgt at fremvise i rå form direkte fra Nvidia af.

Months ago at NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference, CEO Jen Hsun Huang announced the upcoming Fermi architecture to the world. Due to the nature of that conference, very few -if any- details were leaked regarding the architecture’s performance in the one area where NVIDIA’s roots lie: 3D graphics processing. All we knew at that time was Fermi-based cards weren’t anywhere near mass production capable and that ATI already had troops on the ground in the DX11 marketplace. Since then, ATI has continued to run away with the DX11 GPU market and things couldn’t have looked worse for Team Green. Designing a whole new architecture from the ground up takes time and NVIDIA was always the first to admit that.

If anything, NVIDIA has been extremely tight-lipped about all things Fermi ever since the GTC but from the information we received from our moles within their Santa Clara offices, things were moving along at a quick pace. New technologies were being developed to showcase the chip’s advanced capabilities, features were being toyed with, drivers were written and TSMC was pistol-whipped into shape after showing disappointing yields on early silicon. As CES rolled around, NVIDIA wanted to put most of their cards on the table and finally disclosed how they have adapted Fermi’s architecture for the consumer GPU marketplace. This included selective tech demos and hardware being shown on the show floor as well as all-day “Deep Dive” briefings for select journalists being conducted behind the scenes. We attended one of these briefings and in this article we will finally shed some light on the technologies that will make the Fermi architecture hum along in games and other 3D apps……..

Below we have published a “reprint” of NVIDIA GF100 White Paper. Certainly if you wish to go through this paper, a lot of what you read will be redundant…if you read page 1 of this article. While we are a bit hesitant to publish “white papers” as we sometimes find those chock full of marketing material, we found the GF100 White Paper below to be a very good guide to GF100 abilities. While the geek factor is high with this type of information, NVIDIA did a very good job of writing this at a level where it not only will inform the computer hardware enthusiast, but also leave him better educated as to what functions the GF100 is actually supposed to be able to support in games that might end up on our desktops…….
