Nvidia volta will not come to gaming for now

We have been talking for months about the new Nvidia Volta graphic architecture and the revolution that it can bring to the world of video games, it seems that it will not be so revolutionary for the sector, and most of the improvements are focused on another area in which Greens are fighting very hard.

Volta focuses on artificial intelligence

Nvidia's new architecture for gaming will be incremental rather than revolutionary. Everything seems to indicate that Nvidia Volta has focused on Tensor Cores, special cores for artificial intelligence that will make cards based on this new architecture an option with much more potential in this field. With this it seems that for now we can forget about Nvidia Volta in gaming.

The next step in the gaming world will be a new evolution of Pascal that will be manufactured with the 12 nm TSMC process to improve its energy efficiency, which is already excellent. This also opens the door to a new chip with a higher number of shaders than the GP102 offers, after all, if you manage to make the architecture smaller and more efficient, you can offer a new chip with more processing capacity.

This new generation Pascal 12nm will not make the jump to HBM2 memory but will continue to bet on the GDDR5X, which has given an excellent result in the highest Nvidia range such as the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and the Titan Xp.

There are still months until we see the new Pascal cards at 12 nm in stores, remember that the rival of these will be the AMD Radeon RX Vega that, supposedly, will be announced in the month of August although in the case of Vega we can not say anything for sure.
