| RT cores | Dedicated hardware-based ray-tracing technology allows the GPU to render film quality, photorealistic objects and environments with physically accurate shadows, reflections, and refractions. The real-time ray-tracing engine works with NVIDIA OptiX, Microsoft DXR, and Vulkan APIs to deliver a level of realism far beyond what is possible using traditional rendering techniques. RT cores accelerate the Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH) traversal and ray casting functions using low number of rays casted through a pixel. |
| Enhanced tensor cores | Mixed-precision cores purpose-built for deep learning matrix arithmetic, deliver 8x TFLOPS for training compared with previous generation. Quadro RTX 3000 utilizes 240 Tensor Cores; each Tensor Core performs 64 floating point fused multiply-add (FMA) operations per clock, and each streaming multiprocessor (SM) performs a total of 1,024 individual floating-point operations per clock. In addition to supporting FP16/FP32 matrix operations, new Tensor Cores added INT8 (2,048 integer operations per clock) and experimental INT4 and INT1 (binary) precision modes for matrix operations. |
