NVIDIA Pascal GPU release date: GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 graphics cards coming this summer

(NVIDIA)NVIDIA's new GPUs arrive this summer.

NVIDIA has finally unveiled its next-generation GPUs, the GeForce GTX 1080 and the GeForce GTX 1070, based on the highly anticipated GP104 Pascal architecture. NVIDIA co-founder and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang held a surprise unveiling at the DreamHack conference in Austin, Texas last week.

NVIDIA's new Pascal-based graphics cards are built using the 16 nm FinFET process. With a smaller chip design, the new GPUs use less power and emit less heat. As a result, the GPUs are able to operate at higher clock speeds that significantly improve performance.

The new flagship GPU, the GeForce GTX 1080 GPU, is the most-advanced graphics card that NVIDIA has ever created. It comes with the latest technologies that provide unprecedented levels of performance and efficiency.

In terms of speed, the GTX 1080 is faster than both the GTX 980 Ti and the TITAN X GPUs. Furthermore, the new flagship GPU also delivers three times the efficiency of the TITAN X.

The GTX 1080 is also the first GPU to support GDDR5X memory, which has a higher memory bandwidth. Aside from 8 GB of GDDR5X memory, the GPU also comes with 9 Teraflops.

The GTX 1080 is powerful enough to drive 5K and HDR displays to offer the performance required for a truly immersive VR experience.

While Huang did not focus too much on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, he did preview some of the specs of the GPU. It will have 6.5 Teraflops, 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, and will be as powerful as the TITAN X GPU.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPU will be released on May 27 for $599. It will be followed by the GeForce GTX 1070 GPU on June 10 and will be priced at $349.

The Founder's Edition GTX 1080 ($699) and GTX 1070 ($449) GPUs will be released at a later date.
