GPU Features

Maxwell Streaming Multiprocessor

The heart of Maxwell’s power efficient performance is its newly designed Streaming Multiprocessor which delivers incredible performance and unmatched power efficiency, through an improved instruction scheduler and new data path organization.

Maxwell Memory Architecture

Improved caching effectiveness and significant enhancements in memory compression techniques in Maxwell reduces traffic and provides higher performance for applications dependent on memory bandwidth. Additionally, Maxwell‘s dedicated shared memory per SM (separated from the L1 cache) and larger L2 cache, dramatically improves programmability and efficiency.

Viewport Multicast

Dedicated hardware to automatically broadcast input geometry to render to multiple render targets which drastically speeds up multi projection (the ability to render the same scene from multiple views) leading to accelerated rendering for cube maps used in multi-view projectors.

Sparse Textures

Virtualizes texture sizes enabling applications to seamlessly work with large and complex data sets regardless of the available frame buffer.

Accelerated Voxelization

Enhancements to voxel handling techniques enables fast voxelization which significantly accelerates workflows like fluid simulation and 3D Printing.

Bindless Graphics

Optimizes GPU utilization by dramatically reducing CPU-GPU interactions, enabling developers to implement more sophisticated and complex algorithms providing end users greater performance and higher levels of visual fidelity.

H.264 and HEVC Encoder

Dedicated H.264 and HEVC encode engine that is independent of 3D/compute pipeline and delivers faster than real-time performance for transcoding, video editing, and other encoding applications.

NVIDIA CUDA Architecture

Parallel-computing architecture that tightly integrates advanced visualization and compute features to significantly accelerate professional workflows.

NVIDIA Scalable Geometry Engine

Dramatically improves geometry performance across a broad range of CAD, DCC and medical applications, enabling you to work interactively with models and scenes that are an order of magnitude more complex than ever before.

Dynamic Parallelism

Simplifies GPU programming by allowing programmers to easily accelerate all parallel nested loops – resulting in a GPU dynamically spawning new threads on its own without going back to the CPU.

Large Framebuffers with Ultra-Fast Bandwidth

Large GPU memory with fast bandwidth for display of complex models and scenes, as well as computation of large datasets.

PCI Express 3.0 Compliance

Supports data transfer rate up to 8 GB/sec per lane for an aggregate bandwidth of 32 GB/sec bi-directional (16 GB/sec in each direction.)
