NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

I think (well hope) not. I think NVIDIA will want the current 2080TI owners money again. Its time to bend them over for their stupidity and get their new share of big money.

Its been 2 years now since they milked them last.. they need their fill. So I think they will release a product which comfortably makes every 2080ti owner feel as if they need to upgrade or their computer is going to crawl to a 5fps halt.


Also PS5/XBOX X/AMD are hot on their heels. I think the time for complacency from NVIDIA is probably next year but not this year. This year it is best to hit hard, make AMD a second class citizen in the GPU community and destroy.

I think AMD have a few angles to work too. If they can further enhance the CPU/GPU synergism then I can see some people going AMD as we all LOVE what AMD have done on the processor side of things. Overall tho, AMD are behind on features + performance and their price never seems to feel like the budget option (I'm talking for the high end gamers.. not the lower end cards).

This launch will be interesting.

I sit with a HDMI 2.1 compatible screen and a RTX 2080 but I will easily hold out this year if I feel NVIDIA take the p*ss too much.

Im thinking the same at the moment, whether to sell or not though. I have a watercooled 2080 aorus extreme which is worth a fair bob at the moment but whether i should sell or keep it killing me lol.
 
hmmm to sell or not to sell............I do have a Titan xp I can slip back in while I wait I suppose. Selling my two watercooled 2080ti might mean I can afford one watercooled 3080ti ;)

The 2080 was a "small improvement at the same price" of a 1080ti. (Looking at you Nvidia)

You have a Titan Xp as a spare card... a card that is much faster than most pc users lucky you! :p definitely sell the Ti's the Titan will last you the next 4-8 weeks

I main gripe with NVIDIA at the moment is not allowing us to output 10bit colour and that we have to choose between 8 and 12bit. With HDMI 2.1, this is going to be VERY annoying as most TVs and AVRs are aiming towards 40gbps 10bit 120hz as their maximum through their HDMI ports (Denon, Marrantz, LG, Samsung, Sony).

It looks to me like "10bpc" is an option in the nvidia control panel. What am I missing?

If the prices are outrageous just wait until the consoles are released - prices will plummet.

Who else remembers the predictions that Turing would be short lived? :). Two years at least then.Still gone fast!

It's not a matter of years and more a matter of generations of releases which makes Turing the latest release on Nvidia's side. The short life of Turing will start to show itself once ampere is launched and games start to increase the Raytracing power needed. So those who got Turing due to Raytracing will most likely end up feeling a bit cheated. I could have course be wrong and time will certainly tell.

That's a good price. I may have to see if I can offload my GPU soon but I don't have a spare if I want to continue to play games until the 3000 series is released!

Yeah, having a backup is useful for some casual gaming in the meantime. I always do this. I buy at release, then sell when it seems like we're close to launch of the next generation. You can get really good prices. I don't miss a generation because then the values drop. I always sell when the GPUs are still latest generation.

I bought a Titan X for £825 (I think), sold it for £730 just 3 weeks before the 1080 was out.
Bought two 1080s for a combined £950, sold them for a combined £825 just a few weeks before 2080 came out.
Bought 2080 for £700, sold it for £610.

Got the Titan in April 2015. So since then I've spent a net £310 on GPUs. That's £62 per year or just about £5 a month. That's how I see things, I'm basically leasing the latest GPU for £5 a month.

Thats not bad at all. I normally am pretty good but I should have sold my Titan xp a year ago when it was worth good money. On the plus side my two watercooled 2080ti were bought well as cmae in a fully made up PC second hand so should do fine on them. Then offload the Titan after I get the 3080ti. Hopefully it wont have cost me very much over the years then either.
