Nvidia’s off-again, on-again digital GTC 2020 keynote is hitting YouTube this Thursday, and to whip up some pleasure, CEO Jensen Huang determined to cook dinner up the ‘world’s largest graphics card’ in his kitchen on an unlisted video on the corporate’s channel.
While baking graphics playing cards within the oven is certainly a approach to doubtlessly save your dying {hardware}, Huang’s GPU is an appetizing tease for Nvidia’s next-gen “Ampere” graphics structure, which is predicted to be introduced throughout the occasion. We anticipated the divulge to manifest within the type of a large information middle GPU, and Huang’s extra-large serving certainly appears just like the “DGX A100.” DGX is the model for Nvidia’s Tesla-loaded graphics workstations, and Nvidia lately filed a trademark for “DGX A100.”
Fingers crossed that new-look GeForce GPUs will bolster conventional rendering speeds, too. Despite introducing ray tracing to the lots, the GeForce RTX 20-series discovered itself rocked by controversy, as a lot of the shopper graphics playing cards weren’t any sooner than their GTX 10-series predecessors in conventional video games (learn: 99 % of video games) for a similar value. Months later, the RTX “Super” refreshes rectified the scenario, and Nvidia’s vastly improved DLSS 2.zero is now firing on all cylinders, too.
Hopefully, Nvidia discovered its lesson after RTX 20-series received off to a slower-than-expected gross sales begin. Even in information middle type, we are able to’t wait to see what’s subsequent on Thursday.
