Nvidia's Turing GPU architecture includes ray-tracing cores, 8K video playback support

Nvidia has revealed its new Turing architecture for use GPUs, one which boasts dedicated cores for use ray tracing, Quadro RTX Turing GPUs are already being touted for their ability to support real-time 8K video playback...   By the company gives considerable boost to ray, Turing architecture, declared-tracing, technique for rendering that is capable of lighting scene realistically, and at high processing cost.   it can connect to card using NVLink, with the connection allowing memory to scale up to capacity of 96GB, and up to 100GB per second data transfers..   On the back, the cards add support for USB Type-C connections and VirtualLink, standard under development that could allow VR headsets to run off single cable.   Revealed at SIGGRAPH, Quadro RTX 8000, 6000, and 5000 GPUs are meant for use in industries wight demanding visual computing workloads visual effects for TV and movies, and design fields...   Nvidia worked with high-resolution RED to make it possible for video producers to work with 8K-resolution video without bottlenecks, with promises of being able to greater than 24 frames per second video running in using computer and one Quatro RTX GPU..   In the case of Red, the processing of video from its cameras could be offloaded to Turing GPU, allowing for it to be viewed at full resolution without stutters or downsampling for preview beforehand..   Quadro RTX 8000 is the card, with 48GB of memory, 4,608 CUDA cores, 576 Tensor cores, and the ability to process ray-tracing scenes at GigaRays per second.   Quadro RTX 6000 has half the memory, to have the number of CUDA cores, Tensor cores, and ray-tracing processing capabilities..   The card, RTX 5000, has 16GB of memory, 3,072 CUDA Cores, 384 Tensor cores, and can produce GigaRays per second..   Read more
