Nvidia ampere, higher rt performance, higher clocks, more vram

We have more information on the next generation of Nvidia Ampere graphics cards. The rumors stemmed from leaks about the technology of the new generation of Ampere GPUs (RTX 3000) that Nvidia shared with its partners.

NVIDIA Ampere to Offer Great Ray Tracing and Raster Enhancements

One of the first things that Nvidia allegedly wanted to communicate to its partners was that Ray Tracing is here to stay and its performance improved. Ray Tracing was Nvidia's main argument to seduce buyers of the RTX series and it will be again in this new gene.

The company is promising "massive" Ray Tracing performance improvements with the new generation RTX 3000 compared to RTX 2000 Turing. Ampere's RTX cores will be faster and more energy efficient.

Another important focus area in terms of performance with Ampere is going to be Rasterization. Rasterization has been the focus of Nvidia for a long time, which is why the company's graphical architectures have traditionally been far superior to AMD's in processing complex geometries. This approach initially emerged from the Tesla and Quadro company accelerators, on which professionals relied to design and test products in a 3D environment where rasterization performance was paramount.

We've seen Nvidia overcome the rasterization barrier with tile-based rasterization, which was first introduced with Maxwell and had a lot to do with the incredible energy efficiency improvements of architecture over its predecessor Kepler. Nvidia will focus on further improving this section, which would have a great impact on next generation games.

Ampere will have a higher frame buffer compared to Turing, they will be faster and require less energy. This is largely due to the 7nm EUV process technology on which the Ampere architecture is based, and also in part to some key improvements in the energy efficiency of the architecture itself. Ampere GPUs are said to operate at even lower voltage limits than Turing, even below 1.0 V.

In summary, Nvidia Ampere would have:

• Higher Ray Tracing performance Higher Rasterization performance More vRAM overall Lower TDPs Slightly higher clock speeds Limited overclocking capabilities (Not negative)

It is still too early to find out if all this is close to reality, since we will not see a new generation of Nvidia graphics cards until well into 2020, but the rumors are already beginning to spread over the Internet. We will keep you informed.
