Nvidia Pascal GTX 1070 & GTX 1060 Benchmarks Spotted - 3DMark 11 Performance Revealed

Benchmarks for Nvidia'due south GTX 1070, GTX 1060 and GTX 1080 have been spotted on the 3DMark 11 database. The entries are varied and show GPUs with performance figures that range from very high - GTX 980 Ti territory - to entries that evidence performance closer to the GTX 970.

Before nosotros get into the operation figures I'd like to give a shout out to videocardz who take spotted 2 of the iv entries we're sharing with you today. Also every bit a reminder, please continue your salt shaker handy at all times during this. The 3DMark entries you're about to see practise not match whatever current or previously launched Nvidia graphics cards.

Multiple Potential Nvidia Pascal 3DMark 11 Entries Spotted

The first entry we have is of an unidentified Nvidia GeForce graphics card with 7,680 MB of graphics retention, 512MB curt of 8GB, very likely a test chip. More than interestingly is that this GPU'south VRAM is clocked at 2000Mhz - 8000Mhz effective. It'due south a skilful fourth dimension to signal out that Nvidia has no GPUs on the marketplace configured with 8GB of 8000Mhz GDDR5 retentiveness. And certainly no 8GB GPUs with performance that's nearly identical to the GTX 980 Ti. The simply 8GB 900 series video cards Nvidia currently has in the market are its GM204 based mobility chips, which tin come up configured with 4GB or 8GB of 7000Mhz GDDR5 memory.

Yet as mentioned earlier, neither does the GTX 980M, or GTX 980 notebook match the operation figures yous meet higher up. Which are inline with the GTX 980 Ti. So we might very well be looking at the GTX 1070 ,GTX 1080 or the mobility version of either. Likewise worthy of notation is the 545mhz clock speed recorded higher up. Subsequently nosotros've done a fleck of digging around we found that in most cases when 3DMark does not fully identify the graphics card in question it will report a ~540mhz clock speed, despite any the actual clock speed of the card is.

So in this instance and indeed in all the following entries y'all volition meet 540mhz erroneously reported as the GPU frequency considering 3DMark failed to read the bodily clock speed of the carte du jour, maybe as the result of a BIOS misread. This can be confirmed by looking at some other misidentified GTX 970 and GTX 980 entries with a recorded clock speed of 540mhz. Which also happen to show performance figures that are on par with what's commonly expected of these cards at their boost frequencies. Really no where nigh what they would score at ~540mhz.

Now permit's movement on the next two entries. Again nosotros have two cards with 8GB of 8000Mhz GDDR5 memory, showing functioning that'southward very similar this fourth dimension around to factory overclocked GTX 970 graphics cards. So nosotros could potentially exist looking at early mobile variants of Pascal.

The last interesting entry is of an unidentified Nvidia 3GB 2500mhz - 10,000Mhz effective, graphics bill of fare. Then nosotros could potentially be looking at the very first GDDR5X pascal graphics card hither. 3DMark will on occasion also report erroneous retention frequency figures doubling the actual speed. Nevertheless there are no 3GB 1250Mhz Nvidia graphics cards. The GTX 780 features 1500Mhz - 6000Mhz effective - GDDR5 memory and the GTX 780 Ti features 7000Mhz effective GDDR5 memory.

Interestingly this bill of fare is also showing functioning very similar to factory overclocked GTX 970 graphics cards. Keeping in mind that GDDR5X memory modules come in 512MB, 768MB, 1GB, 1.5GB and 2GB configurations this card could plausibly accept a 128bit or 192bit bus for a total of 160GB/s or 240GB/southward of bandwidth. So we might be looking at a ~ GTX 1060 form graphics card here. The fact that GDDR5X memory chips come in a diverseness of capacities also means that Nvidia could feasibly launch 4GB or even 6GB versions of this card.

Yesterday we discussed the rumored GTX 1080, GTX 1080 Ti and nextgen Titan specs that have fabricated the rounds on the spider web. Today we got to look at potential performance figures more for Nvidia's mid-range offerings.

Nvidia's GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 graphics cards are set to launch this summer and we tin't wait to run into them in action.
