CUDA Cores
The Ada-based CUDA® cores bring double-speed processing for single-precision floating point (FP32) operations over the previous-generation GPUs. This provides significant performance gains for graphics workflows like 3D model development and compute workflows like desktop simulation for computer-aided engineering (CAE).
Third-Generation RT Cores
Third-generation RT Cores deliver up to 2X the ray-tracing performance over the previous generation, delivering groundbreaking performance for photorealistic rendering. Enhanced RT Cores combined with Shader Execution Reordering (SER) technology dynamically reorder inefficient workloads, dramatically improving shader performance to accelerate end-to-end ray-traced image rendering performance.
Fourth-Generation Tensor Cores
NVIDIA Tensor Cores enable and accelerate transformative AI technologies, including NVIDIA DLSS and the new frame rate multiplying NVIDIA DLSS 3. Ada’s new fourth-generation Tensor Cores are unbelievably fast, increasing throughput by up to 5X, to 1.4 Tensor-petaFLOPS using the new FP8 Transformer Engine, first introduced in the NVIDIA Hopper H100 datacenter GPU.
Advanced Video and Vision AI Acceleration
NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPUs take video and vision AI acceleration to the next level and bring our optimized AV1 stack, creating a broad array of new possibilities for use cases like video transcoding, streaming, video conferencing, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and vision AI. With up to 3X as many decoders and encoders, combined with the AV1 video format, Ada Lovelace GPUs can host up to 3X more video streams concurrently than the previous generation. On top of this, additional JPEG decoders further speed up applications that need computer vision horsepower.
Deep Learning Super Sampling 3.0 (DLSS 3)
DLSS 3 is a full-stack innovation that delivers a giant leap forward in real-time graphics performance. This breakthrough software leverages the latest hardware innovations within the Ada Lovelace architecture, including fourth-generation Tensor Cores and a new Optical Flow Accelerator (OFA) to boost rendering performance, deliver higher frames per second (FPS), and significantly improve latency. DLSS 3 is a marriage of software and hardware, of AI and dedicated, specialized GPU cores, and is only possible on NVIDIA Ada architecture GPUs.
Virtualization-Ready*
NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPUs can support higher user density and resource utilization, and they provide up to 50 percent more GPU memory than the previous generation.
