The GeForce 16 series is a series of graphics processing units developed by Nvidia, based on the Turing microarchitecture, announced in February 2019.[1] The 16 series, commercialized within the same timeframe as the 20 series, aims to cover the entry level market, not contemplated by the latter.

Architecture

The GeForce 16 series is based on the same Turing architecture used in the GeForce 20 series, omitting the Tensor (AI) and RT (ray tracing) cores exclusive to the 20 series. The 16 series does however retain the dedicated integer cores used for concurrent execution of integer and floating point operations.[2] On March 18, 2019 Nvidia announced that via a driver update in April 2019 they would enable DirectX Raytracing on the 16 series cards, together with certain cards in the 10 series, a feature reserved to the RTX series up to that point.[3]

Products

The GeForce 16 series launched on February 22, 2019 with the announcement of the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti.[4] The cards are PCIe 3.0 x16 cards, produced with TSMC's 12 nm FinFET process. On April 22, 2019, coinciding with the announcement of the GTX 1650, Nvidia announced laptops equipped with built-in GTX 1650 chipsets.[5]

  1. ^ Shader Processors : Texture mapping units : Render output units : Streaming multi-processors
  2. ^ Pixel fillrate is calculated as the lowest of three numbers: number of ROPs multiplied by the base core clock speed, number of rasterizers multiplied by the number of fragments they can generate per rasterizer multiplied by the base core clock speed, and the number of streaming multiprocessors multiplied by the number of fragments per clock that they can output multiplied by the base clock rate.
  3. ^ Texture fillrate is calculated as the number of TMUs multiplied by the base core clock speed.
