2Ghz GPU !!!

[oudmaster]

hi all

this is just a carious question,,,
what do you expect from a GPU got 2Ghz clocking speed ?
and why the manufactures do not produce such a GPU. since more than one year and I see all the new GPUs are got around 1Ghz !!

?

thanks,

Um. Because it would vastly reduce efficiency, meaning you have to use fewer shaders to hit the same power, so performance actually goes down.

Plus you'd need to increase the transistor sizing to handle the extra voltage needed, so each shader is larger.

it all comes down to temperatures

and you will need extreme cooling when OCing gpu to 2ghz :O

 

[oudmaster]

so in future will this clock speed remain the same ?

It'll go up, but slowly. I doubt we'll hit 2GHz for a long time.
