PureVideo Feature Set H hardware video decoding HEVC Main10 (10 bit), Main12 (12 bit) & VP9 hardware decoding (GM200 & GM204 did not support HEVC Main10/Main12 & VP9 hardware decoding).Fourth generation Delta Color Compression.


Initially, chips were only produced in TSMC's 16 nm process, but later chips were made with Samsung's newer 14 nm process (GP107, GP108). The architecture incorporates either 16 nm FinFET ( TSMC) or 14 nm FinFET ( Samsung) technologies. The first graphics cards from the series, the GeForce GTX 10, were announced on May 6, 2016, and were released several weeks later on May 27 and June 10, respectively. The Pascal microarchitecture, named after Blaise Pascal, was announced in March 2014 as a successor to the Maxwell microarchitecture.
