The graphics processor of the GeForce RTX 3070 video card lit up in the photo
At the disposal of the VideoCardz resource was a photograph of the GA104-300 GPU, on the basis of which the GeForce RTX 3070 video card is built.
This particular GPU modification is equipped with 5888 CUDA cores, 184 tensor cores, and 46 RT cores. The GA104 uses 17.4 billion transistors. For comparison, the older GA102 chip, which serves as the main one for the GeForce RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 models, has 28.3 billion transistors on board. The crystal area of GA104-300 is also smaller than the area of GA102: 392 mm 2 versus 628 mm 2 for GA102. The graphics chip is manufactured by Samsung using an 8nm process technology.
About a month ago, it became known that the GA104 GPU will also be used in the mobile graphics of the GeForce RTX 30 series. We saw him in a company with 8 GB of GDDR6 video memory as part of the mobile version of the GeForce RTX 3070.
Recall that sales of the GeForce RTX 3070 video card will begin on October 29. However, the first full reviews of the Founders Edition reference graphics accelerator will appear today, October 27. Then we will find out what the actual performance of this NVIDIA solution is.
