NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Gaming Graphics Cards
With Blackwell, NVIDIA is going full-on into the AI segment with loads of optimizations & AI-specific accelerators.
The Blackwell GPU does many traditional things that we would expect from a GPU, but simultaneously breaks the barrier when it comes to untraditional GPU operations. To sum up some features:
- New Streaming Multiprocessor (SM)
- New 5th Gen Tensor Cores
- New 4th Gen RT (Ray Tracing) Cores
- AI Management Processor
- Max-Q Mode for Desktops & Laptops
- New GDDR7 High-Performance Memory Subsystem
- New DP2.1b Display Engine & Next-Gen NVENC/NVDEC
The technologies mentioned above are some of the main building blocks of the Blackwell GPU, but there's more within the graphics core itself which we will talk about in detail so let's get started.
