The second half of the year will have great news in the gaming GPU market with the arrival of RDNA2 by AMD and Ampere by Nvidia, and according to a new report by Digitimes, it seems that both companies are preparing releases on similar dates. , pointing to September as the month of arrival to the market of its new GPUs.
On the red side, RDNA2 will bring a 50% increase in energy efficiency, offering 50% more performance at the same level of consumption. They will also be the first Radeon graphics with hardware Ray-Tracing support, marking a milestone for AMD.
Regarding Nvidia, which already has Ray-Tracing in its graphics, the new line is expected to include not only the new Tensor Cores with up to 7 times more performance than those used in Turing, but also new RT Cores four times faster than current ones, having much less impact when activating ray-tracing in games. In addition, the entire line is expected to have Ray-Tracing support, eliminating the GTX line forever in favor of the new RTX line.
It will be interesting to see what news we have, and if these rumors end up being true or if we have to wait longer to see the new GPUs on both the red and green sides.
