Are those units not made with transistors? This sounds like bullshit, frankly.

- dTal 8y agoAmazingly, it's possible to make a chip that is faster at a specific task than another chip, while not using more transistors than that other chip.
- CoolGuySteve 8y agoExcept that’s not the case here. The RTX units are attached to the CUDA cores and are physically larger than the 10-series CUDA cores. Graphics is trivially parallelizable for the most part and the number of transistors available mostly linearly impacts rendering performance. This is a physical reality, the new chip is bigger and it ray traces an ancient game at less than 60fps 1080p with significant noise and aliasing artifacts despite having specialized hardware. I’m not sure why I’m expected to engage in a Gish Gallop of NVidia marketing buzzwords when the facts are clear. It’s bullshit, plain and simple. Neither you nor the grandparent are giving actual facts.
