HWInfo Diagnostic tool adds new NVIDIA GPUs Support - Volta

Often a bit of naming leaks through software release info. A week or so ago you might have noticed, HWInfo was updated. And initially I missed the added info, but the tool is now actively listing two new NVIDIA GPU entries.



We all know that NVIDIA has something brewing in that kettle of theirs, we all know it will be the 11xx series (GTX 1160, 1170 and 1180), but no one really knows what GPU architecture it'll be based on, and kudos/cudas to NVIDIA for keeping that under wraps. It is expected to be Turing, but I will keep saying it, Turing never was listed in their roadmaps. The most logical thing for them to do would be a Pascal respin with GDDR6 memory, Turing with GDDR6 memory.

However and realistically I think this is the case, Turing simply also could be Volta stripped from the Tensor cores and thus GeForce GTX 11xx would be Volta based. Now Volta GPUs have been around for a while, just not in the consumer domain. This is what the entries in HWinfo spike my interests, as Malik added: Nvidia GV102- en GV104-GPUs. Expect announcements late August on the new card(s).
