The GeForce 16 series is a series of graphics processing units (GPUs) developed by Nvidia, based on the Turing microarchitecture, announced in February 2019. [5] The 16 series, commercialized within the same timeframe as the 20 series, aims to cover the entry-level to mid-range market, not addressed by the latter.
Model – The marketing name for the processor, assigned by Nvidia. Launch – Date of release for the processor. Code name – The internal engineering codename for the processor (typically designated by an NVXY name and later GXY where X is the series number and Y is the schedule of the project for that generation).
The GeForce 10 series is the last Nvidia GPU generation to support Windows 7/8.x or any 32-bit operating system; beginning with the Turing architecture, newer Nvidia GPUs now require a 64-bit operating system. In January 2025, Nvidia has announced plans to wind down developer support for the Pascal architecture, which includes the GTX 10-Series.
In January 2025, Nvidia has announced plans to wind down developer support for the Maxwell architecture, which includes the GTX 9-Series. While CUDA support will be deprecated in a future release, driver updates are expected to continue for a limited time. [103]
On April 7, 2010, Nvidia released [18] the GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480, the first cards based on the new Fermi architecture, codenamed GF100; they were the first Nvidia GPUs to utilize 1 GB or more of GDDR5 memory. The GTX 470 and GTX 480 were heavily criticized due to high power use, high temperatures, and very loud noise that were not ...
In the middle: the FOSS stack, composed out of DRM & KMS driver, libDRM and Mesa 3D.Right side: Proprietary drivers: Kernel BLOB and User-space components. nouveau (/ n uː ˈ v oʊ /) is a free and open-source graphics device driver for Nvidia video cards and the Tegra family of SoCs written by independent software engineers, with minor help from Nvidia employees.
Nvidia NVENC (short for Nvidia Encoder) [1] is a feature in Nvidia graphics cards that performs video encoding, offloading this compute-intensive task from the CPU to a dedicated part of the GPU. It was introduced with the Kepler -based GeForce 600 series in March 2012 (GT 610, GT620 and GT630 is Fermi Architecture).
Die shot of the TU104 GPU used in RTX 2080 cards Die shot of the TU106 GPU used in RTX 2060 cards Die shot of the TU116 GPU used in GTX 1660 cards. The Turing microarchitecture combines multiple types of specialized processor core, and enables an implementation of limited real-time ray tracing. [4]
