Micron’s GDDR6 Memory Technology In Nvidia’s GeForce RTX GPUs (2080,2080ti,2070)

Micron announcing that the company is providing Nvidia with GDDR6 memory for the GeForce RTX 20-Series cards, which includes the 2070, 2080, and 2080 Ti. Micron is Nvidia’s launch partner. In future other companies will also join to supply the RTX series with GDDR6 memory in the coming months.

The new gddr6 memory brings plenty of performance for modern graphics architectures. Micron aims to release its 8Gb GDDR6 memory chips in 12 Gbps and 14 Gbps flavors and has plans to introduce faster 16Gbps GDDR6 memory chips in the near future. GDDR6 is also power miserly: Micron’s upcoming 8Gb 12 Gbps and 14 Gbps GDDR6 memory chips both operate at 1.35V as opposed to GDDR5’s 1.5V.

Micron’s GDDR6 will also make its way into automotive and networking applications, but the real question is how it will perform in Nvidia’s GeForce RTX cards. It appears the memory has some room for overclocking: Micron recently presented a research paper claiming that it was able to successfully overclock one of its GDDR6 prototype memory chips to a staggering 20 Gbps with a just slight bump in I/O voltage.
