If there is one type of application that requires more and more powerful hardware and that manufacturers are not left behind, it is games. Even the most powerful graphics card is not enough to move the games that will be released in the medium term with sufficient image quality and speed. This is why the future GPUs from Nvidia there AMD exceed the 90 TFLOPS power should not surprise us.
There is no doubt that there is still a lot to do and we have not reached the visual limit. The next challenge? Being able to move the most advanced games to a 4K resolution, at a frame rate above 60 and with Ray Tracing enabled. Believe us that requires very high power. How much? Well, as far as becoming almost ten times larger than SONY’s PS5. Of course, we’ll see the impressive 90+ TFLOPS figure with the RTX 4090 and RX 7970 XT, or whatever they’re called in the end.
We must clarify that TFLOPS are only used as a comparative measurement within the same architecture. And it is that each instruction can be composed of different basic operations and differ in execution time from one architecture to another. In the world of graphics cards, its importance has grown steadily over time, especially as there are more and more elements that depend less on fixed-function units and more on the processing capacity of different GPU cores or shader units.
NVIDIA and AMD will exceed 90 TFLOPS of power in their future GPUs
Over the past few days, we’ve received word about the ability to do 32-bit floating point calculations from upcoming high-end GPUs from NVIDIA and AMD. Of course, this is a number that refers to letting both processors execute the FMA instruction, which is made up of 2 operations per cycle. Which is the fastest to run on this type of chip.
First, and according to rumours, the RTX 4090 will be able to reach 100 TFLOPS of power. Which translates to 2.5x the power of the RTX 3090 Ti at 40. And while it’s true that NVIDIA’s upcoming graphics card will draw around 600W, it will have a much higher power-per-watt. Con esto podemos deducir la velocidad de reloj aproximada que tendría la GPU top de gama de las RTX 40. Torno a los 2.7 GHz. Aunque por el momento desconocemos si se trata de una velocidad de Boost y por tanto temporal or una más estable en le temps.
In the case of AMD and your future RX 7900 XT, that we do not know its consumption. There are rumors that it will be smaller than its NVIDIA rivals. What does our intuition tell us? Those of Lisa Su won’t want to lose even in a single benchmark. So we’re very clear that we’re going to see at least one version of his RX 7000 using the 600W connector. The RX 7900 XT is very likely to hit 92 TFLOPS. All thanks to its 3 GHz clock frequency.
