Titan Z Information for school project?

[ViruZ_HUN]

Hello!

 

I still dont know many things about GPUs.

 

In school we have a project to write a newspaper about anything, i chose to write about the new Titan Z.

 

this is what i want to know:

 

1. What is teraflops and what is it Usen for?

 

2. What is VRAM, and what is it Usen for? (well i know that Vram is the GPus memory but i want to know more and what it is usen for)

 

3. Why is it better to have higher clock on the memory? what programs do the higher speed Memory help in?

 

4. Whats the cons and advantages with dual GPUs?

 

5. What is 5k? is it 1080p * 5 = 5k?, or?

 

6. Is there anything more i shoud have in the newpaper about GPU?, are they any more info about a GPU that i need to know and have in the newspaper for the school project?

 

 

I know google is my friend, i am searching myself. 

 

If you are a GPU engineer or just know very much about GPUs, please answer if you like to:D

 

Thx!

1. The amount of teraflops is the number of floating point calculations a GPU can perform per second multiplied by 10^9. So a GPU that is 1 teraflop can perform 1 trillion floating point operations per second. 

 

2. VRAM is used to store the frames when they are drawn by the GPU. 

 

3. It allows the GPU to write to the VRAM at a higher speed. 

 

4. Advantage - better performance, disadvantages - less than linear scaling, excessive heat production, excessive power consumption

 

5. 5k? You mean 4k?

Thx!

 

In Nvidia live show yesterday they said 5k.

 

I want more explaination on 1 and 2 , i mean which programs/apps use much Vram or what program teraflops is usen for!

 

What do you mean by if i have higehr memory clock it allows to write at higher speed?, does it give more FPS in games or?

 

But i am very glad that you answered:) thx for spending some time to help me!

5. No, atleast where I read the it said 5k and it looked like a quote, Here it is, straight from PCgamer (ill link the article) "next-generation 5K and multi-monitor gaming".

ALso what is Bits doing?

 

I mean why is higher bit better in GPUs?

 

Like 780 TI have 384 bits? whats the advantages?

[ViruZ_HUN]

Thx for the answers yet, it helps me alot!

 

Your great fellows!

[ViruZ_HUN]

Also what is Texture units? whats the advantages?

What is rops?

Whats the advantages of Cudacores?, more is better?, why?

What is FP64?

What is transisitors and what does it do?

 

I know i have alot of questions:/

Dude if it is for a school project you should do the research yourself. All the things that you are asking are very easy to find online.
