NVIDIA today unveiled its GeForce RTX™ 30 Series GPUs, powered by
the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, which delivers the greatest-ever
generational leap in GeForce® history.
Smashing performance records, the GeForce RTX 3090,
3080 and 3070 GPUs offer up to 2x the performance and 1.9x the
power efficiency over the previous Turing-based generation. The
GPUs take advantage of the second generation of NVIDIA RTX™ — the
world’s most powerful PC gaming platform — to provide unprecedented
levels of real-time ray tracing and AI gaming.
The RTX 30 Series was unveiled during a virtual
launch event by NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang, who also
announced that Fortnite, the pop culture gaming phenomenon, is
turning on RTX real-time ray tracing, adding four ray-traced
features for a more immersive gaming experience, including
reflections, shadows, global illumination and ambient
occlusion.
Huang additionally revealed powerful new tools for
gamers, including NVIDIA Reflex, which makes competitive gamers
quicker; NVIDIA Omniverse Machinima, for video game storytelling
using real-time computer graphics engines; and NVIDIA Broadcast,
which harnesses AI to turn any room into a home broadcast
studio.
“Today’s launch of NVIDIA Ampere GPUs is a giant
step into the future,” said Huang. “The work of thousands of
engineering years, the GeForce RTX 30 Series delivers our greatest
generational leap ever. NVIDIA RTX fuses programmable shading, ray
tracing and AI for developers to create entirely new worlds. Twenty
years from now, we’ll look back and realize that the future of
gaming started here.”
Marvels of NVIDIA Ampere Architecture - 2nd
Generation RTXEnabling the blistering performance of the
new RTX 30 Series GPUs and the NVIDIA Ampere architecture are
cutting-edge technologies and over two decades of graphics R&D,
including:
- New streaming multiprocessors: The building
block for the world’s fastest, most efficient GPU, delivering 2x
the FP32 throughput of the previous generation, and 30
Shader-TFLOPS of processing power.
- Second-gen RT Cores: New dedicated RT Cores
deliver 2x the throughput of the previous generation, plus
concurrent ray tracing and shading and compute, with 58 RT-TFLOPS
of processing power.
- Third-gen Tensor Cores: New dedicated Tensor
Cores, with up to 2x the throughput of the previous generation,
making it faster and more efficient to run AI-powered technologies,
like NVIDIA DLSS, and 238 Tensor-TFLOPS of processing power.
- NVIDIA RTX IO: Enables rapid GPU-based loading
and game asset decompression, accelerating input/output performance
by up to 100x compared with hard drives and traditional storage
APIs. In conjunction with Microsoft’s new DirectStorage for Windows
API,(1) RTX IO offloads dozens of CPU cores’ worth of work to the
RTX GPU, improving frame rates and enabling near-instantaneous game
loading.
- World’s fastest graphics memory: NVIDIA has
worked with Micron to create the world’s fastest discrete graphics
memory for the RTX 30 Series, GDDR6X.(2) It provides data speeds of
close to 1TB/s system memory bandwidth for graphics card
applications, maximizing game and app performance.
- Next-gen process technology: New 8N NVIDIA
custom process from Samsung, which allows for higher transistor
density and more efficiency.
RTX Comes to Fortnite, Call of Duty: Black
Ops Cold WarPop culture phenomenon Fortnite is the latest
blockbuster game to turn RTX On, joining Call of Duty: Black Ops
Cold War and a large group of AAA titles, such as Cyberpunk 2077,
Dying Light 2 and Watch Dogs: Legion.
Among other titles already shipping with
ray-tracing support are Control, Minecraft with RTX Beta for
Windows 10 and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. Additionally, ray tracing
is supported in industry-standard APIs, including Microsoft DirectX
Raytracing and Vulkan, as well as in the game engines used by
developers to create games, including Unreal Engine, Unity,
Frostbite, id Tech, Northlight, Luminous Engine, 4A Engine and
more.
DLSS: AI-Powered Gaming
Acceleration NVIDIA DLSS, one of the biggest graphics
breakthroughs of the past decade, uses the deep learning neural
network powered by RTX Tensor Cores. When enabled, DLSS — which is
supported exclusively on GeForce RTX GPUs — improves performance in
titles such as Control, Minecraft with RTX for Windows 10 and Death
Stranding, while generating images that are comparable to native
resolution. DLSS will be heading to Boundary, Bright Memory
Infinite, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Cyberpunk 2077,
Fortnite, Ready or Not, Scavengers and Watch Dogs: Legion. For
those with more powerful PC configurations, a new Ultra Performance
mode enables DLSS to run up to 8K.
New Ways to PlayNVIDIA also
announced three new technologies designed for enhancing the
experiences of gamers, broadcasters, esports professionals and
creators:
- NVIDIA Reflex: Become Instantly More
Competitive. Gamers strive for the lowest possible latency
in competitive games because it allows the PC to respond faster to
their inputs, enabling them to play with greater precision. NVIDIA
Reflex is a new suite of technologies that optimize and measure
system latency. Among these are NVIDIA Reflex Low-Latency Mode, a
technology being integrated into popular esports games such as Apex
Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite and Valorant that reduces
latency by up to 50 percent, and NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer,
which detects input coming from the mouse and then measures the
time it takes for the resulting pixels (for example, a gun muzzle
flash) to change on screen. Reflex Latency Analyzer is integrated
into new 360Hz NVIDIA G-SYNC® Esports displays arriving this fall
from Acer, Alienware, ASUS and MSI and supported by top esports
peripherals from ASUS, Logitech, Razer and SteelSeries. Measuring
system latency has previously been virtually impossible for gamers
to do, requiring over $7,000 in specialized high-speed cameras and
equipment.(3)
- NVIDIA Broadcast: Stream Like a Pro. The
world’s 20 million(4) live streamers can turn their home into a
broadcast studio with NVIDIA Broadcast, a universal plugin that
enhances the quality of microphones and webcams with
RTX-accelerated AI effects, such as audio noise removal, virtual
background effects and webcam auto frame.
- NVIDIA Omniverse Machinima: Enriching a New Art
Form. Modern gaming continues to extend the storytelling
art genre, in which game assets are used to create cinematic
masterpieces. Omniverse Machinima makes such work easy, providing a
path-traced viewer tool and engine designed for physical accuracy,
simulating light, physics, materials and AI. Users can take assets
from supported games, and use their web camera and AI to create
characters, add high-fidelity physics and face and voice animation,
and publish film-quality cinematics using the rendering power of
their RTX 30 Series GPU. Sign up for notification when early access
opens.
