NVIDIA has been teasing the promise of Pascal for years, but this year Pascal’s performance became much more real. With the announcement of the Tesla P100 based on Pascal, NVIDIA was able to show the neural-network world what Pascal was really capable of. However, that chip is very different from the gaming-focused Pascal chip that NVIDIA launched on May 6th in Austin at an event VR analyst Anshel Sag and I both attended. NVIDIA introduced a plethora of new features and improvements that enable their new Pascal-based GeForce GTX cards to really shine against the competition. NVIDIA’s own Founder and CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, deemed the GTX “1080 is the new King.”
