The new pipeline let Nvidia’s GPU handle integer instructions at the same time as traditional FP instructions, giving Turing-based graphics cards a big speed boost in games that leaned heavily on those tasks-namely, well-optimized Vulkan and DirectX 12 games. Turing’s simultaneous multiprocessors (SMs)-the building blocks of the GPU-received a significant overhaul, adding a new integer pipeline (INT32) alongside the floating point pipeline (FP32) traditionally used to process shading. While Turing shook up GPU design, Ampere builds on Turing’s foundations. It’s no different this time around, as you’ll soon see. The last time Nvidia leaped a node, the GeForce GTX 10-series demolished their direct predecessors. Ampere is built using Samsung’s 8nm processor node, moving up from the TSMC 14nm and slightly modified 12nm nodes used for the GTX 10- and RTX 20-series cards, so this is a generational leap for Nvidia. The beating heart inside the GeForce RTX 3080 is Nvidia’s new GA102 “Ampere” GPU. Skip to the next section if you aren’t interested in some deeper details on how the tech inside the GeForce RTX 3080 works.
