If you're a gamer, undoubtedly you've come across the name nVidia GeForce graphics card . But do you know about its cutting-edge peak generations? Today, let's delve into these product lines together!
A glimpse into the birth history of the Nvidia GeForce
GeForce is the name of a graphics processing unit (GPU) designed and developed by Nvidia. This name originated from a competition in 1999. The 'Name that chip' competition was organized by Nvidia to find a name for the successor to the Riva TNT2 product line. With over 12,000 participants and 7 winners, the competition was a huge success.
Here, we will specifically discuss desktop GPUs, focusing on those available in the retail market rather than OEM variants.
1. Geforce 16-series
Nvidia Geforce graphics cards in the 16-series were designed to fill the gap in the mid-range and low-end segments. Originally competing with the vacant space left by the 20-series and AMD's dominance, the 16-series, based on the Turing architecture, lacks RT cores and, consequently, Ray Tracing capabilities. However, a recent driver update introduced DXR support, providing limited Ray Tracing capabilities. Subsequently, Nvidia released upgraded versions, the GTX 1650 Super and GTX 1660 Super. The 1650 Super, in particular, is a comprehensive upgrade. Following these, Nvidia also introduced a GDDR6 version of the GTX 1650.
Following this, Nvidia officially released two upgraded versions of the GTX 1650 and GTX 1660, namely the GTX 1650 Super and GTX 1660 Super. Among them, the 1650 Super is a more comprehensive upgrade. Next, following the previous product line, Nvidia continued to introduce a version using GDDR6 for the GTX 1650 model.
All GPUs in the GeForce 16-series do not support SLI/NVLink.
