The GeForce 900 Series is a family of graphics processing units being developed by Nvidia, used in desktop and laptop PCs. It serves as the introduction for the Volta architecture (GV-codenamed chips), named after the Italian physicist and inventor of the electric battery Alessandro Volta. The Volta architecture, the successor to Maxwell, will have for the first time stacked DRAM. This will provide the GPU with up to 1TB per second of bandwidth. This will also increase the GPU's performance per watt, with the estimated DP GFLOPS per watt being between 16 and 32. Volta was announced in March 2013 and is expected to be released in 2016.
