I doubt it pulls that much when gaming though.

hi all, I'm running a 1660ti at the moment but would be tempted by and upgrade in a few months. What are the chances that one of the lower/mid 3xxx series will have comparable performance to say a 1080ti or 2070 super, but for a bit less (350/400)? Are there any hints out there?

there's been no hints on pricing yet, no
Is that all.
500W on the CPU or you are not trying.
Get that LLC up to maximum.
Shuuuuush you, it gets warm and toasty enough anyway. Who needs heating in winter? Just stress out the CPU and GPUs. Lovely toasty warm are coming out of the case then

My PC is in the garage, with a 1Kw PSU - no noise or heat endured. 
Bring it on Nvidia, I'll just blame the increased electricity bill on the wife's new constant stream iron.

Looks like about a kilo of metal, i have no doubt it will run quietly, but its not going to be cheap, rumours are than cooler cost $150 to make, i can believe that, at least initially....
Ampere A100 benchmarks leaking for Octane Render Bench
Stock Ampere A100 scores 446 points in Octane Bench
Stock RTX2080ti scores 300 points, RTX8000 scores 318 points.

Not bad I think, yes its 6900 cores but they're slow cores at 1400mhz - scale the cores down to 5300 for the 3080ti but bump the clocks to 1800mhz and that would put the 3080ti a good 50% faster than the 2080ti too.

There's a good chance that the 3060 Ti will be slightly faster than the 2070 Super and go for $399. That will be released next year though.
Refer to this chart for rough guidance (https://i.imgur.com/UAqSqTP.png)
At 1410Mhz its 400 Watts, at 2000Mhz <600 Watts?

I thought Nvidia don't make 100 series chips gaming cards because of cost and power consumption? They start at 102.
I’d think that is surely an underestimate (or overestimate on price)? I picked up a palit 2070S For £380ish last November... given these days in GPUs it seems $399 = £399 I’d really expect to get more than just slightly faster for similar money in the next generation otherwise they’ll be slaughtered by AMD’s midrange (not to mention the consoles).

not that anyone is going to buy an A100 for LN2
Those are conservative estimates, yes. Keep in mind though that you basically won the lottery getting a 2070S for £350 considering it's mostly been hovering around £450-£500. It's not likely the next cards will offer you a better deal unless you get similarly lucky again.
Don't forget the A100 is tsmc 7nm where as the 3080ti is supposedly Samsung 8nm.

The A100 will be optimised for commercial workloads,whereas the GA102 won't be. Its most likely a GA102 would perform worse than the A100 in Octane. Likewise a A100 will most likely perform worse in gaming benchmarks than a GA102 would. So realistically speaking we can't say much about GA102 performance until we get more credible leaks.
