Like TU102, each SM also includes 64 CUDA Cores, 256 KB register files, 96 KB L1 data cache/shared memory cache, and four texture units. Each TPC contains a PolyMorph Engine and two SMs. In TU104, each GPC includes a raster unit and four TPCs. The full TU104 chip contains six GPCs, 48 SMs, and eight 32-bit memory controllers (256-bit total). The TU104 GPU incorporates all of the new Turing features found in TU102, including the RT Cores, Turing Tensor Cores, and the architectural changes made to the Turing SM. This card is based on Turing TU104 GPU, which is a cut-down version of the fully enabled TU102. I will be taking a spin on Asus Strix GeForce RTX 2080 O8G edition today.
