Rumors of an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1170 case
Wccftech says the beast may arrive as early as August.
The Geforce GTX 1170 can be built with TSMC’s 12nm manufacturing technology and is expected to be based on a GPU codenamed GT104. The chip probably won’t use a full-fledged variant this time either, so we expect the number of CUDA cores to be 2, which can then be fed by a 688-bit memory bus - complete with a more cost-effective version of GDDR256 memory that can still provide good bandwidth.
A mixture of the above components can provide roughly the following performance.
For the first time, the newcomer can be thought of as a friendly GTX 1080 Ti, which will hopefully be emphasized by the good price and solid (abb) consumption in addition to the excellent speed.
According to the Wccftech portal, the main numbers can be as follows:
contents show GeForce GTX 1170 | GeForce GTX 1070 | |
| Production | 12 nm FinFET | 16 nm FinFET |
| GPU | GT104 | GP104 |
| CUDA seeds | 2 688 | 1 920 |
| Number of texturizers | 168 | 120 |
| ROP | 64 | 64 |
| GPU clock | ~ 1 500 MHz | 1 506 MHz |
| Boost clock | ~ 1 800 MHz | 1 733 MHz |
| Memory bus | 256 bit | 256 bit |
| Memory | 8-16GB GDDR6 | 8 GB GDDR5 |
| Memory bandwidth | 384 GB / s | 256 GB / s |
| TDP | 140-160 watts | 150 watts |
Fans now seem to have to exercise restraint before buying, as the first swallows of the Turing family could arrive as early as the summer.
