NVIDIA Volta GPU Release Date & Update: New GPU Card Has More Advantages Than AMD Radeon RX Vega
Not mentioning Intel, the NVIDIA and AMD are the two biggest competition in the GPU hardware industry. This year, with their upcoming new series of graphic cards, these two, again, will face another competition to prove whose product is the best.
The NVIDIA will launch an all new GPU card and it is expected to be released early next year. As we know so far, the company's all-new NVIDIA Volta GPU will be powered by GDDR6. According WCCF Tech report, if you've been keeping count of your GDDR gigabits per second, you will notice that the 16 is double that of the fastest GDDR5 memory available from SK Hynix today, which is rated at 8Gbps and comes in capacities of up to 1GB per chip.
The Hynix also announced recently that its upcoming 16Gbps GDDR6 memory chips will be mass produced for a client that's releasing a high-end graphics card by early 2018, and to let you think about it, although they didn't state who is this client is, NVIDIA Volta GPU is the only known card to be released on the same schedule the Hynix mentioned.
Experts and AMD critics say the AMD Radeon RX Vega will have a lesser advantage to the NVIDIA Volta GPU. Although there are still no complete official details about the both companies GPU cards, speculations suggest the that experts are may be true.
AMD Radeon RX Vega is expected to boost both PC graphics and Virtual Reality gaming at the same time. However, even we assume that the latter will have specs better than what we expect to the NVIDIA Volta GPU, time has an important play in this competition, says Tech Times.
Vega might release for the third quarter of this year and the NVIDIA Volta GPU will be on early next year. Whatever the former might have in their plans, the latter has so much time to prepare and overrun the competition.
