NVIDIA ADA GPU ARCHITECTURE: Designed to deliver outstanding gaming and creating, professional graphics, AI, and compute performance

whitePaper | October 1, 2022

Launched in 2018, NVIDIA’s® Turing™ GPU Architecture ushered in the future of 3D graphics and GPU-accelerated computing. Turing provided major advances in efficiency and performance for PC gaming, professional graphics applications, and deep learning inferencing. Using new hardware-based accelerators, Turing fused rasterization, real-time ray tracing, AI, and simulation to enable incredible realism in PC games, and cinematic-quality interactive experiences. Two years later in 2020, the NVIDIA® Ampere architecture incorporated more powerful RT Cores and Tensor Cores, along with a novel SM structure that offered 2x FP32 performance, clock-for-clock, compared to Turing GPUs. These innovations allowed the Ampere architecture to run up to 1.7x faster than Turing in traditional raster graphics, and up to 2x faster in ray tracing.
