    GF100’s graphics architecture

    After having seen the base architecture on the Fermi GF100 GPU when it comes to the GPU Computing applications, coming to life in the Tesla family series, we’ll go through the technical specifications for gaming that nVIDIA decided to pull forward with the new cards.

    There are 512 CUDA Cores integrated on the GF100, CUDA Cores being the names chosen by nVIDIA to indicate their streaming multiprocessors, or SM; the approach is similar to what was seen with the previous generations of nVIDIA architectures, with unified shaders compatible with the DirectX 10 APIs, with some obvious differences. If on the G80 (GeForce 8800) and GT200 (GeForce GTX200) the cores were grouped into blocks of 8 inside one SM, the approach used on the GF100 is different, with 4 more cores for each SM: 32 in total for each SM.
