Photo Of Actual GP108 Of GeForce GT Card Surfaces, Revealing Model Number Of Chip

Nvidia is working on a GeForce GT 1030 card that would address the presence of the new Radeon RX 500 Series of AMD in the below $100 graphics card market. It would be based on the unannounced GP108 graphic chip of Nvidia. Its root is the Nvidia’s latest Pascal architecture that the company used on its GeForce GTX 10 Series family of graphics cards.

Digital Trends reported that a photo of the actual GP108 chip showed up. The image revealed that the model number of the GP108 chip is GP108-300-a1. Before the photo with the model number surfaced, its benchmark appeared in “Ashes of the Singularity” score card with 1,100 points based on the Standard preset. The card is believed to be equal or better than the GeForce GTX 750 Ti in terms of performance.

Specs of the GeForce GT 1030 chip say it has a die size of 132mm2, and a possible process node of 14n FinFE. Its CUDA cores are 512, texture mapping units are 32 and render output units are 16. The chip’s memory bus is 64-bit, its memory amount is 2GB and 4GB GDDR5, and the memory speed is possibly 76bps. The interface is possibly PCI Express 3.0 x 4 and maximum power draw is 30 watts.

GeForce states that the GT 130 GPU offers a powerfully immersive entertainment experience designed for extreme high-definition gaming and video playback. It is a middle-class GPU based on the 200, 55nm, first-generation unified architecture, according to Game Debate.

But Digital Trend notes that some of the numbers are based on speculation. However, it observes that the Radeon RX 550 card of AMS has the same number of cores, texture mapping units, render output units, and VRAM amounts. There is a big difference when it comes to the memory bus since AMD has 128-bit, while Nvidia has 64-bit.
